Gorringe vs Philips......like watching two heavyweight boxers stagger around a ring and not lay a glove on each other...wasnt impressed with either.
Philips probably has more idea about rucking but neither impressed me when down forward...the AFL website said they were both competitive??..didnt agree..
Jed Lamb...dropped marks and was generally hopeless IMO and I expected more from him vs one of his old teams...
Daisy...give him his due he tried hard and did a lot of work at the coalface and seems to lay a few tackles...still cant kick over a jam jar but he had a go...
Sam Rowe...a few grunt moments where he made some spoils but seems out of touch....if he gets Vickery or Griffths in Rnd 1 he might be leaking some goals...
Everitt...nada..
Wood's better than both those rucks but even then I'd have Levi rucking (also alot better than or other two new blokes on the ball) with Kreuzer so he's not stuck in the forward line all game, especially now that he'll attract all the opposition defenders. Running about taking marks gives him confidence when he goes back forward. Hopefully Jaksch does ok, sure he will eventually, but he must be sick or injured as we haven't seen him all pre-season. Like to see he and McKay as the future of the forward line.
Daisy seems like he'll never get that kicking power back. He'll do pretty well and certainly valuable but nothing like his Pies days.
Hopefully Lamb does better but even if only one or two of the GWS four work out it's a win.
Rowe's just a gap filler until Weitering fills the CHB spot full time
Everitt still has a few brownie points from last year's good work so hoping the real season gets him going.
