Random comments and observations
* Buddy mercurial and his field kicking is very very good, he looks set for a career best year
* Tippo looked good and took some good contested marks, likewise I like young Darcy Cameron and whilst he is not quite ready yet I think he will be a very good player once he has a full season under his belt with us
* Melican started well but faded and looked tired at the end, reckon if AA gets through the NEAFL game he is a lock for R1 though
* Jones looked the best mid by a mile out there, sign him up guys, his value will only go up this year
* Haywood - looks slick and there's something exciting about that kid but he is a fair way off senior selection atm but could see him playing back half
* Florent has done enough to be selected R1 for mine
* Marsh is unfashionable but gets the job done, he needs to just keep things simple, will go close to a R1 gig
* Towers - not enough for mine to warrant R1 and even though it was a pre season match my heart still skipped a beat when he had the ball with 28 secs left on the clock; gets caught too often with the footy
* Equally unconvinced re Robinson but he did himself no harm tonight with that effort
* Good to see Parker fire up and he'll be in tip top shape R1
Finally, some of the 15m interpretations tonight by those three blind mice were terrible, I'd make it 25m anyway but surely it cannot be that hard
We're ready to rumble, bring on season 2017
