Sandilands and Mihocek are better defenders...not sure if the former made an AFL list or was rookied but he should have been, kicks the ball really well, is composed and takes a good mark.
Cant wait to have Byrne back....need a bit more dash of half back and I think he is your Touhy replacement...Sheehan's game didnt grab me...looks a tad slow
for seniors at this stage....
I didn't watch the game but Silvagni was very good in the practice match against Richmond. I had a close look at him and his work off the ball was good, his one on one defence was good and he covered for his team mates. His disposal was good and he was physical. I went away happy that we have as a rookie, mainly to bolster the NBs but to provide depth if required.
Sheehan only played the first half of the practice match but he looked good and certainly not slow. He has a bit of competition now and may find it hard to displace the likes of Macreadie and Williamson.
