It was a very, very windy day, which didn't make it much of a spectacle.
Schulz looks very promising. He moves, marks and kicks well, and more importantly looks like he might have a few footy smarts about him. It would of been nice for him to get more game time.
Our defence was very good again.There was a couple of undisciplined things in the last 1/4 but I can live with that as they were having a real go. There is a very good nucleus there. With Gaspar back and another tall, perhaps Schulz, we have got a very good defence.
Bowden started the match on the half back line on Pavlich. He is definately not a back man, he gave him too much room. although Pavlich didn't really exploit it too much.
It's hard to say, But Bowden was probably going to line up on him no matter where he played.
I would really like to see Bowden played up forward, especially at fullforward. He has got good pace, is a good overhead mark, and is good at a set shot on goal. And the silly mistakes that he makes are not likely to hurt us as much if he is on the fullforward line.
He sure is a frustrating player, but he has heaps of ability, and i reckon that he is being played out of position.
Our forward set up was different, they played a lot of the match in a huddle near the goal square. When we were moving the ball forward, half the time we didn't have an option to kick to as they were too far away.
Bowden or Schulz as leading options with Holland in the goal square would of been a better set up.
Headland played most of the game on the half back line. I think they might of been trying to drag him back deep into our defence, but it just seemed to congest things. too much.
It would of been better on a big ground like Subiaco to have the smaller forwards a little further down the ground.
Coughlan and Johnson were both outstanding. Tivendale kicked some good goals, and his kicking errors when kicking out can be forgiven i guess as it was very windy. Richo and Ottens were both good. I like the idea of Richo playing up the ground, we now need a fast leading forward. Richo gets murdered by the umpires.
The hurt of another loss was helped a bit as I won a prize at the after match function raffle.
