[pinot]

Setters 33 disposals and eight tackles on the wing. What a game

[Baggers]

Blues by 19.

Loved the games from Setters, Fogarty, Stocks, Honey and Carroll.
Honey 4 gls.

Here are the stats...

The only sour note was the poor game from Motlop. Ran around and did SFA... no impact.

Some very decent names in the Dogs team, Ben Crocker again prominent, a nice win from the VFL team and nice to see Josh Honey in the goals. Hayes with good stats vs his old mob, with Martin out it might be Hayes and Honey fighting for his position.
I wouldnt pick Setterfield despite his stats and would stick with LOB and Cottrell on the wings.....

Kemp was solid IMO
Honey building a case for a call up
Dow good again

Yes Baggers, young Motlop didn't look very "engaged" in the quarter & half that I watched.  Certainly no second efforts.  Also looks to be still carrying plenty of puppy fat!  Perhaps time to start the real apprenticeship!         
Such as a run with roll (in VFL games) on an opposition's midfielder, or some time in the back pocket guarding their sharp moving small forwards.
He has to become more than the so called "deadly" sharp shooter if he is to play AFL.
cheers Ab

After the disappointment of Thursday night I found watching the Magoos from start to finish a real tonic, especially seeing some important AFL listed players stating a case for recall. There was a real fierce/desperate/tough energy in our senior listed players (except for Motlop) that was palpable.

You mention Crocker... holy cr@p he works hard, in one moment he's snapping for goal in the forward pocket then providing an option off the HBF. Be very surprised if he's not rookied by someone at year's end.

Will's stats were pretty good but he did make some uncharacteristic mistakes. Carroll was clean and really imposed himself on the contest, especially after half time. Stocks was, for moi, clearly bog when you factor in he played down back and didn't have the opportunities that the mids/wings did.

After half time, especially the third and half of the final qtr, the boys were tough and relentless and completely overwhelmed the Dishlickers. Doggies got a couple of late cheapies to improve the scoreboard for them.

He'll come good, he has all the tools.

Confident you're right... one of the reasons he stood out last night, was like a sloth on Valium - clearly not right.

Not worried about Motlopo has shown enough to be a good player - shown more than Durdin has last year. Pre season and confidence will see him improve and possibly quite alot.
