His pick up and delivered to Kemp was our best forward entry of the day, his opportunist goal was good and early he started in the centre.
He has lots of tricks and he has nous. Durdin was bad for 3 quarters but cracked in late and put his broken body on the line multiple times when the game was alive but fantasia did more to get us going in the 3rd.
Motlop. The less said the better. When people complain about Russell I point to the kids that aren't kicking on and say they still play and run with the strength and fitness of first year players. Yes he's been injured and that's hurt motlop but you cannot be a cameo player and not be a tackling machine at worst.
Fantasia worked hard up the ground too.
He's not in my best 23 but, at the moment, he's in my best available 23.
Durdin probably shouldn't have played. I guess the MC was hoping he could reproduce the form he showed against the Eagles before he was chicken winged. He did have a crack though, particularly in the last quarter.
Motlop started the year like a house on fire but the series of injuries he copped knocked the stuffing out of him. I think he's a player who needs a very good fitness base to produce anywhere near his best footy. Yes, he'll jag goals here and there but he's not providing the forward pressure we need.
At the moment it's Owies as our best small forward, followed by Fantasia and the rest hobbling behind.
