Btw.... found a pic of the Hawks 'spy' who was at training today. I thought maybe he's meeting with our ceo but when you need to park across Punt rd and halfway up Rowena Pde.... then hello hello!
If it wasn’t him , it’s the spitting of himCouldn't stay for the duration so like everyone else I'll be waiting for @caesar to provide his expert report!
Dunno the great man but I'm pretty sure he wasn't the strange looking cat with the long blonde locks standing on the rails! Maybe that was the Zippsta?
Anyway I was really intrigued about the dude in the Hawks clobber who rocked up as bold as brass and watched for about 20 minutes.
As soon as I saw him I thought.... he's not just some **** kicker!
Maybe he was there to see one of his relatives....
Nah it was him alright @Mr Brightside . .... I met him once about 10 years ago. Let's just say he had a fairly high opinion of himself..... Anyway, I'm 99.99% sure he's related to Josh CaddyIf it wasn’t him , it’s the spitting of him
Ok Intra Club Bonus today i have 2 reports for you as were accompanied by another set of eyes who i got to do an independent report:
1) Caesar Report:
Ist Half:
yellow team Grand Final side minus Nank who played 1 qtr only today for black team and BEllis. Included in yellow was Noah Balta down back.
After half time a few Guernseys were swapped to even out sides.
Thomson Dow did not play due to sickness.
Shai, here is what I thought about Shai's 1st half and played forward the whole game, (A bit of Hoodoo Gurus anyone):
"I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you "
And a bit of the chorus
"Well, yes, yes, yes, yes
I'm impressed "
Ok 1st half you had the likes of RCD and Jack Ross alternating on Cotch and Dusty at the clearances, (actually it was for the whole match, (how is that for an education), and as to be expected Cotch and Dusty put on a clinic in this area of the ground, the young lads will learn to get their arms across their opponents more.
This is not to say Ross & RCD did not show some great signs.
Ross was really good and the best of the 1 to 2 year players, prominent in general play really good link up work and kicked a goal.
RCD a couple of dashes, a centre clearance when opposed to Dusty, also a snapped goal, some great hands in tight a strong mark against Bachar but collected Bachar in ribs who took no further part, (hopefully ribs are ok and he lines up for Vics).
Soldo absolutely destroyed all comers.
Marlion: I could go back to my Hoodoo hymn book so smooth played midfield hit targets left or right by hand or foot, when he runs at a player it is like they are mesmerized.
Stack: Played forward applied plenty of pressure but not in bests.
Prestia: Great as usual
Noah Balta: was reasonably assured down back but the wild Colt still exists.
Ball movement in general was sublime.
Big forwards did not dominate but plenty of deft touches to smalls would go unnoticed by most.
That will do from me and will now defer to our Stig, (track watcher 2), report.
2) Stig Report:
His take on intra club
Not many changes from GF team
Nank if not ready and no Ellis
CCJ could play the replacement for Nank
The replacement for Ellis is of interest as both Broad and Baker player considerable time on the wing switching on occasions with Balta being the 3rd tall back and not Broad . Pre season games will determine whether Balta plays round 1
Game style
Early on the game played in the one third moving bubble as seen by all forward 6 pushing well past centre of ground . When ball is won back on turnover obviously bubble moves down ground More obvious than previous years
Key notes
Pickett will play as midfielder , not on a wing
Bolton will play forward as well
Soldo clearly no 1 ruckman
Dusty and Cotchin clearly ahead of schedule, no holding back there
Unless injuries , don't see any obvious changes from GF team apart from Balta playing down back and releasing Baker / Broad to wing
Keep in mind Broad did play on wing in WAFL in a few games
Can't see Stack or Ross playing round 1 unless there is injuries
We are in a great position this early in year
Best players not in any order
Soldo . Bolton . Dusty .Cotch . Pickett .Ross .RCD and Edwards
