Was impressed with Lennon lead up marking, should've kicked 4-5 goals but I really think he should be in the seniors as can play tall, castagna can't do that in finals could be another dimension! I mention George but could b a butler to make way, these 2 games remaining Freo n saints will tell the tail forward of our fwd set up going into finals.
Shai wow class act, moves well gunna b a player!
Hampson took some strong marks which was pleasing to see...
Will say great ball movement and always support from a running player to receive and dish off to the next player in support...

I'm interested if anyone has anything to say about Derek Smith? Looks like a smooth mover. Listed at 180cm on the only article I could find but looked taller to me. Missed most of the game trying to eat all the Barra I've been catching

Looked good did Smith.
Lloyd clearly best on ground, in everything. Miles very good also.
Us 22.17.149
Them 12.7.79
Goals: Lloyd 4, Lennon 2, Short 2, Elton 2, Moore 2, Stengle 2, Bolton 2, Hampson 2, Morris, Ellis, Menadue, Miles.
DISPOSALS: Lloyd 50, Miles 45, Moore 26, Short 25, Ellis 24, Batchelor 23. (Subject to review. I suspect those numbers will come down.)
Best (mine): Lloyd, Moore, Short, Miles, Batchelor, Smith, Ellis.
AFL-listed:
Lennon: Could have kicked 4 or 5, missed a few he would normally kick in his sleep. Worked into the game and contributed well for the last three quarters. Pace off the mark stopping him from an AFL spot.
Batchelor: The General in defence. Rock solid.
Short: Got plenty of the ball off half-back and sneaked forward for a couple of snags.
Hampson: Competed all day and took three strong marks in the last.
Maric: If Soldo comes back, he should be left out.
Griffiths: Competed and started to get into it. A couple of strong marks. Sat out the last Q.
Miles: Got a stack of the ball but struggled to break free of congestion at times and ball use often ordinary. Quantity over quality got him in the bests.
Lloyd: Had it on a string. 50 touches and could have kicked 8.
Conca: Worked into the game nicely. Sat out the last.
Ellis: Brilliant first quarter but quieter after. Didn't see as much time in the middle after 1/4-time, with Ballard preferred. Still a good contributer.
Moore: Best game I've seen from him. So quick and strong at the ball, great hands. Must be considered for next week, although anyone who plays AFL next week I believe can't play week one of VFL finals when the AFL bye is on, so that might be a selection conundrum.
Menadue: Played wing/half-back and did some nice linking.
Morris: Morris.
Chol: Looks really composed down back. Wasn't beaten much and his ball use is immaculate.
Garth: Steady.
Elton: Better second half including a couple of goals and a screamer.
Stengle: Clever, creative.
Smith: Will be on an AFL list next year is my tip.
We overused the ball too much at times, especially by hand going forward, but a dominant display. I look forward to our finals campaign.

The positive with Moore is that we'd be playing a tall without really losing any defensive pressure. Additionally, if the ball isn't delivered well, he stays strong on the ground, and uses his hands well to keep the opportunity live. Probably too late to experiment with the team now and bring him in, but wish he was tried earlier.
Exactly ficknell I reckon Moore would shade all our Mosquito fleet in a sprint and at 193cm and a strong grab I don't see how he doesn't suit our forward setup perfectly. But no Dan and Blair are too busy looking in other peoples back yards. If I were a list manager at another club I would be getting in Callum's ear and try and pinch him from under our noses.frickenel said:
