I watched only the last few minutes. Dare I ask but how did Cunningham, Marchbank and Martin go?
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Good tough win in the end
Binns is an excellent young winger
Cunners and Martin started very slow but started to come into the match towards the end about 2-3 weeks away
Marchbank was solid but is slightly off with decision making and disposal - another 1-2 weeks.
Only Binns should get a call up with George returning after protocols

Thanks Pinot, George hasn't exactly set the world on fire this year so a return may not be guaranteed if form is a prerequisite.

Some interesting statistics from the game:
[1] Binns: 34 possessions, 4 clearances and 0 tackles! 0 tackles?
[2] David Cuningham: 21 possessions - he has 2 in the first quarter, but had 12 at half time. Apparently he got 8 possessions in about 9 minutes in the 2nd quarter. 7 clearances and 3 tackles.
It might take a few weeks, but there were some good signs there, especially when we were beaten in the ruck.
[3] Jack Martin: 18 possessions, consisting of 2 kicks and 16 handballs. 2 kicks!? No scores at all.
However, 6 tackles and 3 clearances.
I think it might be a few weeks before he is ready for a senior game, but I'm pleased with the tackles.
[4] Harry Lemmey: 9 possessions and 1 goal, but 14 taps. He had none at half time. I will be watching the replay with interest, as we didn't get 14 taps in the entire first half.
The lad has a long way to go, but I am really pleased to see him make an impact in the ruck.
[5] Ed Curnow: 16 possessions, 2 clearances and 4 tackles. How the mighty have fallen. Ed probably shouldn't get any more senior games if he can't make a real impact at VFL level. I hadn't realized just how much missing last year has affected his ability to get where the ball is.
[6] Fog: 21 possessions, 7 tackles and 2 clearances. There is a lot to like about Fog, but he doesn't fit in where we need him.
Live Long and Prosper!

I've put a line through Martin. He needs to prove he can play for 4 weeks without getting injured.

Replay available if anyone's interested.
If nothing else, you will see something you haven't seen for ages. A win ?
