I was disappointed with both Sinclair and Cameron yesterday, especially Cameron, as I was hoping he could take over the ruck duties this year. He can take a good uncontested mark and moves well, but didn't provide much of a contest or defensive effort. We didn't do well with either in the ruck. On the other hand, we seemed to come away with the ball more often than not when Towers was our ruckman. He can't compete physically against those big ruckmen, but when he times his jump well he can get a hand on the ball and make it a loose ball contest where we would normally have the advantage, especially given that we have an extra midfielder in the contest, being Towers.
I thought Naismith looked okay last week, but he needs continuity to develop his all around game.
Stretchergate Part II
Sinclair saves his best moves for the Lions.
I'm more worried that:
- Since Cunningham has decided to tackle, he can no longer kick.
- Aliir managed to sprain his ankle tripping over a blade of grass.
- Heeney plays better with Glandular Fever.
- Stoddart thinks he's an Old English Sheepdog.
