Practice Match: Blues v Pies, Fri 24 Feb

[LoveNavy]

Apart from that 15 minute 2nd qtr lapse (hope it's the last time I write about lapses conceding multiple goals this season!!), I thought we controlled the game pretty well, once the game slowed and it became a hard contest we were better... especially considering the missing personnel.

The newbies -- Acres, Cincotta, Cowan & Hollands -- put in well.

Acres will slot in beautifully on the wing, the other wing is up for grabs. I like the look of Hollands.

Cincotta gave us what we know of him, a strong attack/contest and good disposal. Likewise, Cowan showed good attack on aggot and man with effective disposal... one disposal in particular was sublime, a long pinpoint pass to a marking forward.

Thanks for your keen observations Baggers. I didn't see the match at all.

FWIW I've got Cincotta pencilled in to play 18+ games. I'm hoping he'll be our Tom Stewart type recruit ?
