The Player Stats section wasn't showing on my app. Just the team lineups. It is there now, though.
Who knows.

Ling another ordinary game... Smells like a bust to me unfortunately.

It's too early to dismiss him, but his confidence seems shot at the moment. I watched only very short snippets on the weekend, but saw one passage where he had taken a mark on the edge of defensive 50. He didn't move far back from the mark, hesitated, and then kicked a loopy ball infield far from any teammate and turned it over.
Does anyone know who his official 'mentor' is?
I noticed that Ed Richards, my choice for our first pick in the draft, won the rising star this round. Jack Higgins and Laghlan Fogarty, the 2 players Horse interviewed just before the draft, are also doing quite well. I'm hoping that Ling is just going through a defensive training focus and he'll show why we drafted him when several other more highly credentialed players were available. We also extended his contract by a year before he even played a game, so you have to figure we see something there to suggest he'll get going in due course.
Brisbane v Sydney

Fox 4-3
Robinson 4-3
Cameron 1-0
Keays 1-0
Way too early to write Ling off. I reckon he'll show more of why we selected him down the track. Who knows what's going on, could be struggling to adjust to living in Sydney, have some kind of low grade injury (or taking time to recover properly from the injury he did have) etc. Anyway, we got Stoddart as insurance who is a similar type of player (and who was similarly rated to Ling according to various draft pundits despite the significant gap between where they were selected in the draft) and he's going ok.

Also, a big shout out to AJ who is slated to return to the NEAFL this weekend! Go you good thing! Hope he can make every post a winner in the last chance saloon. ;-P
