Yeah we brought Jones in on a 3 year deal, we also brought in Docherty and Everitt who have done well.
We effectively swapped Hampson for Docherty, it was the best trade in the history of the CFC.

We might have known a fair way out that Hendo was going too as these things are fairly transparent these days so they might have future proofed for the first time in our history.
At least he tries. Thats better than many of the players we have had over the journey.
Yes, he's trying, very trying for supporters and the forwards coach too I'd imagine

So far the drafted boys and those we got from Adelaide seem to be the ones showing promise, along with the crowd fave Galucci... but as I said, early days.
Sumner , Plowman injured.
I haven't given up on Phillips yet.
Gorringe looks a bit out of place.

Gorringe has taken twice as many marks as Phillips!
Neither has done much although Phillips gave his opponent a decent whack in the chops during a boundary contest. I think it was accidental; he's not that co-ordinated.
I haven't given up on either but time is running out.

Gorringe best is probably better than Philips and I did see him take a nice mark or two but he lacks intensity....Philips ruckwork isnt bad for a novice but he seemed butterfingered vs the Bombers
and couldnt hang onto the ball....both perform better when played as the 1st ruck..

Yeah but Phillips has taken 50 "almost" marks .

That's almost twice as many as Hampson!!
Almost!!

Philips can mark, don't worry about that aspect of his game....

I agree flyboy .
I'm very bullish about his future. I don't think he's a Hampson .
Did anyone else notice how many simple marks where dropped by all players in that game?
It was bizzarre.

Watching the game from the stands, one player who really looked completely at sea was Jeb Lamb.
Hopefully a few of the GWS boys come through, but Jed was tentative, easily beaten by his opponent, and did nothing positive when he came near the ball - at least on the Gardiner Stand side. Would be very disappointed if he gets a game until he stops looking like he accidentally put on a jumper and wandered onto the ground.
It will be a long season, but looking forward to watching our few class acts help the new recruits.
