Just wondering if you think Crocker is due for a call up to the seniors MB?
Sounds like he had another good game _________________ "The last thing he expected WAS THE FIRST THING HE GOT!!!!!"

A couple of observations from me, I watched the game (first 3 quarters) from the wing near the interchange.
The umpiring was shit. The hands in the back rule obviously isn't being applied anymore and it was clear that Cloke must've run over at least one of the umpires dogs or rooted his missus or both because it seemed like they could do anything to him they wanted but if he farted in the general vicinity of a Bloos player it was a free kick. At one point I turned to the bloke I was with and quipped that the umpires were obviously colourblind, they thought the Northern Blues were wearing Hawthorn Jumpers
(Free kick Hawthorn)
Cloke I thought worked hard all day without a lot of luck but the effort was there. He was getting a bit frustrated by the manhandling and no frees but I recon he has to forget that, ignore the infringements and just go at the ball.
I really liked the look of Rupert Wills. Seemed to be basically utility size, could almost play as a slightly undersized key forward in a pinch but it's his work ethic when the ball is in his vicinity that struck me. This kid is a bull. He just charges into the contest, lays tackles, wrestles the ball away from opponents and then charges out the other side with the ball shrugging off tackles on the way. Gets in good positions and while not incredibly quick has some toe when he pushes it and has a thumping kick. Me likey.
White played well I thought, he was doing a Reid and controlling the backline and at one point it looked like the Bloos were actually playing a defensive forward on him.
Sier did a few nice things, needs to get involved more, little bit reactive but shows some quality.
Interesting as most of the coaching staff seemed to have gone to Perth, Witts was acting as line coach for the midfield and was very serious about it, talking closely with the players, pointing and giving instructions at the 1/4 time break.
White seemed to have a similar role with the backline as after the notional line coach (who I think was Scharenberg) finished his talking, Jesse took over and was doing all the talking prior to Tapping calling them in to the team huddle.
Overall, not a bad performance by the boys, nice ground (first time I've been there, it's actually not that far from home) but it's an absolute prick getting parking around there. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Thanks Dave. I saw last week's VFL game and was impressed by Crocker then, so who knows, maybe he'll get a senior game before too long. |

Don't recall seeing a lot of phillips, noticed Crocker a bit, kept thinking the kid wearing Heaters jumper is doing OK. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
