Does Liam Baker ever play a bad game?
I would love to see him get a go in the middle. Such a natural footballer.

Agree. Got involved but looked raw as you’d expect. Got a lot of minutes that’s for sure.Ralphsmith could consider him self a bit lucky to play as much as he did today for the A side. Looked a little overawed to me.
Not all that heavily involved & went to ground too often. Good experience for him but he's still raw & behind a few others based on today's showing.
Agree re the blonde 26, had him on the wing for long periods too - still a mystery who he isAgreed. Dow, as I commented on his junior highlights, reminds me of Sheds: speed of football brain; sharp movement; quick hands and very creative. An instinctive, gifted, natural player.
Enjoyed this B game overall because it demonstrated our good depth still. CCJ strong, Biggy may be better than I expected. Surprised by how beanstalk Sampson looked - he makes McBean look powerful - doubt he will make it unless he really develops from a serious gym program; as such wonder about his selection.
The great news from this game is that MRJ looked really promising - what a surprise with those genes! Quite aggressive for his size and age; but he's got that stocky build of his father. Strong on tackling, quick footy brain and instincts; sharp skills and goal-sense. Just a kid atm too.
Mansell looked OK but I hope we haven't gone too early on him. Liked what I saw of Josh Green because he has that bigger body we are looking for in the mids and is fierce in the contest. Can take a mark and kick a goal too. Surely we must be looking seriously at him.
Egg is the other mystery. He is an elite boot; a very valuable asset to bring the ball from defence avoiding turnovers. Sure, gets into trouble at times trying to do too much but that can be worked on. With letting Markov go and Bachar on his last legs (literally), I think it's just silly to not find a list spot for him. They must rate Ralphsmith higher although I think he will be a future winger myself.
But that blond leftie who played in defence looked really good too - superb kick too - whoever he is. Saw those signs of improvement from Miller too.
Galluci - no IMHO.
Aah Cam Olden from Leongatha. Nice.. Played a year of senior footy at Leongatha out of the u.18’s. Great to see kids like this around, what a kickAgree re the blonde 26, had him on the wing for long periods too - still a mystery who he is

Just a run around for the Tiggies to blow out the smoke after niot running the engine for a while.Melbourne would be running for early results after 2 dismal years.
Coming from a different spot than us who have the luxury of tinkering a few things.
Agree with everyone re: just pre season; shake out cobwebs, Melb 4 weeks ahead of where we are, dont want to peak too early, etc, etc.How *smile* was Cotchin today? Hahaha, and I couldn't give a rats arse. He knows the point of today.
Do you know who pays for the umpires in scratch matches?You can have umpires any time you like, if they aren't there it's because the clubs didn't book them.
I reckon we seen loch ness moreRCD is like big foot. Alot's been said about him but has anyone ever seen him?
Dwayne RussellDo you know who pays for the umpires in scratch matches?
With 100k off our soft cap, I'm ok with saving money where and when we can.Yeah the clubs do. That's what I mean, if they didn't have umpires for the last three quarters it's because the clubs didn't want to pay them.
Can we save more money and not have the umps during the season?With 100k off our soft cap, I'm ok with saving money where and when we can.
Especially against WCE, Collingwood, Geesook and the Bears as they all spend the match begging and playing for frees.Can we save more money and not have the umps during the season?
