Some good summaries Crash, largely agree, but i'll add a few things where i differ.
Bri Davey......she is better running in straight lines where she can attack the footy. They said last week that we need 3 of her, 1 for each area of the ground, and we do. However, midfield is not her gig. Yes, she will do better than most, but you're only getting 70% of her ability. Forward might help the team structure best, but again, i think you are still only getting about 85-90% of what she can do. Down back, you get 100% Bri Davey. She attacks the ball like no other (none her size at least) and takes the game on, can kick the ball long and accurately. None of which any of her replacements can do.
Watt....late call up for Harris and did quite well. I was impressed with her efforts and i reckon she should keep her spot next week to allow some team versatility.
Moody....personally, i think she is overrated. She spent 5 months of the off-season overseas and hasn't really knuckled down like some others have. She is not very agile, has a shocking kicking action and reminds me of Harry Madden, without the rucking ability.
Plane....was her best game for us. Never rated her last year and despite improving remarkably, i thought she was relatively lucky today. Right place, right time type stuff....mainly through dumb luck, than good management (see Prespakis misskick at goal)
Mullane....Barden.....whoever the hell she is. Sort it out. On the coverage they refer to her as Mullane. On the stats/ranking she is Barden. On the club website she is Mullane. In the bests in the report she is Barden. Amateur hour there. Decent game though.
Dalton will be a player. Still learning the game, but has the pace and courage to do well.
Van Dyke i'm not sold on yet. Barely noticeable mostly.
Bentley i did notice. Thought she did VERY well on some tough opponents. Was matched up on both Tex Perkins and Erin Phillips throughout the day, and wasn't disgraced against either.
Edwards....good user of the ball, smart player, tough gigs. We've found one there.
Gee.....starting to show that promise we were told she has. I was a fan of hers last year, and she is a better player this year.
....Sophie Li.....it was hard seeing her sing the song at the end (even if she didn't know all the words) but i was put at ease during the game after she shirked at least a few contests. Cest la vie.
At least it was a much improved performance this week. Onto the next one..
