Newman having another great game. O'Riordan very good as well. Nankervis had a great 1st half, but tailed off in the 3rd qtr. Rose working hard and doing some nice things, but sloppy with disposal. BJ having a very poor game. McGlynn doing well enough. Not much else to get excited about. Topups disappointing.
May I say how much more enjoyable it is reading the relatively positive and high quality comments on the reserves match thread than the firsts. ???? And I reckon the increasing use of humour is catching on. Congratulations and thanks to all, especially ugg (and Ludwig for humour) but with notable contributions from many others.
Some really disappointing kicking at goal in the 2nd half - we had our chances to win with some more composed kicking for goal - sadly some of our more experienced players were offenders as well. It is windy of course which doesnt help but you shouldn't miss from 20 out with no angle!

The one big positive for me was the quality of Nic Newman's all around game. At least at NEAFL level he looks a cut above. He's so composed, has excellent vision and decision making and can back it up with skilled disposal by foot and hand. He looks to have the kind of game that should make it at AFL level. I would really like to see him get a call up next week. He's got a real physical element to his game as well, which is usually a good indicator if a player can step up to senior level. Could be a better option down back than McVeigh if he can produce anything close to what he's shown in the reserves.
