Went along tonight as i had to see the first game of the next generation of Silvagni's coming through.
Sure, there were things Jack could've done better, but there were things he did tonight that you might never see a 10 year player do. That high up and under mark that he not only went for, but took, holy hell. He has his fathers courage! As a barely legal draftee to be taken in one of the last picks in the draft, he has so far exceeded most peoples expectations at this very early stage of his career. Crowd loves him too. Haven't heard a crowd cheer for a debutant like that since Judds first game in Navy Blue!
As for the rest of the team....disappointing.
Starting with Everitt. Send him packing back to the 2's and direct swap Curnow jr into the team and never look back. He was terrible.
Walker needs to play like a small, not a kangaroo.
FFS, can we kick the ball to the advantage of our forwards....like...ever? We kicked it to the advantage of the pies more times than we did our own players, especially inside 50. That's U13's stuff!
Phillips kicks a nice goal. Happy with the ball in his hands.
Simpson will leave a huge hole when he hangs up his sleeves.
Backline, solid.
Midfield, missing and devoid of run.
Forwardline, hamstrung by midfielders, too slow to pull the trigger in front of goal.
That was potentially our only winnable game for the next month. Top 4 draftee coming our way
