I also had a look on Friday, was very impressed with the grounds size, surface and structure, very good ground for viewing footy. On the game like Im sure many have said it was hard to judge how the boys truly performed considering the opposition, anyway very impresed with the starting midfield group, Cotchin just has to stay fit to be mentioned in the same breath as other great Tiger mids, composure under pressure and the abilty to turn the jets on when needed stood out to me. Big statement however IMHO Martin is Voss tough you can see he just wants to hurt people, wouldnt be at all conserned about him getting pinned a few times the other evening, broke a lot more tackles then the ones that stuck, he is one powerful unit. Lids is the pefect complement to the other 2 mids, felt he linked up very well the other night and would think he had the most possitive metres.
Thomson was also possitive with his extracting
Big possitive was the form of Dan Connors of half back, class, like the fact Hardwick can see the talent, also thought Eddie and Tambling were very good across half back too , all three took on players and pushed forward not sideways.
Taylor showed great signs with his chasing and his pure class, looked a great X factor
forward.
Didnt see anything over exciting from the Ruck division, Gus is now a monster.
Polo no doubt played well his marking was top notch, weather he makes it forward or not I like that DH is thinking outside the square.
Like the fact they did play some good possitive footy, however would have like to have seen more dominance from the talls
