Lousy game to watch but wet weather tells you a lot about your players because kicks dont come easy...
Best for us were Jaksch, Byrne and Walsh IMO...
Jaksch: more accomplished than his teammates and is better than VFL footy, skills are not the issue, its just when he gets to senior footy he gets
caught out vs the bigger KP players who have more kegs on their frame and can push him around...
Mcbean or Mr Bean didnt touch the footy when KJ was on him but when Jaksch got moved forward he got away from Foster who doesnt have the nous.
Byrne...bit rusty but has some style and zip to his game, is composed and uses the ball well and would be in my senior team next week as the sub.
Walsh...ok I like the kid and probably overstate his abilities but he contests well, has some nous about what he is doing and apart from one sloppy left foot kick usually finds a teammate..for a WA kid he did well in the wet and was fairly clean with the ball...
Dick...better when he can take the game on but lacks footy smarts which is what the three players above have, second efforts are not that great and he fumbles
too much for mine...
Smith....has a go and wasnt our worst player.....ball use isnt great by foot and he can turn it over but he does contest well and will stick up for his mates.
There is something there to work with...
Foster...long was off senior footy, lacks know how and needs some more meat on the bones..
Boekhorst...wet weather means lots of contested footy which doesnt suit the Boeky man who is your outside running mid...used the ball ok when he did get it but
he didnt get a lot of footy and I looked at him closely on one occasion when he did get the ball and he has that look of a player who wants back home to
the safety of the WAFL and I am not sure he is committed enough to make it in the AFL.
Viojo Rainbow...skillful left footer in the Menzel mode but like Boeky doesnt like too much contested ball or having to graft for his kicks.....very lightly built and
needs plenty of gym work...
Rowe..for a senior player didnt do enough IMO and I wanst impressed all be it the weather didnt help big blokes today....
Jones...not much from him and alas looks like a trade bust.....
Johnson...good VFL player, was ok in parts but doesnt do enough...next
Whiley...got plenty of ball but did nothing with it, disposal is atrocious...lacks nous and smarts but does contest and tag well...
Watto, couldnt get much of the footy given the weather and congested play..kicked one nice goal, led ok but wasnt a factor though delivery too him was woeful and lacking....
Thomas, McQaulter being ex senior players took over in the middle for the Tigers and we fell away....
