TOPIC:

Jarrod Sturch leading the ruck for the ressies.
Never heard of him.

Okay up from Colts.
Listed at 192cm.
Bit small for seniors?
Hope he's grown a bit.

A big lump of a fellow 192/90 well built. Stats are not impressive. At colts averages 5 disposals a game hitouts  below average barring 3 games in the twenties. I agree 192 is a tad short for mine as a ruckman.
Are we that desperate for a reserves ruckman? Let's see what he has got tomorrow.

The skills and decision making of our reserves is as bad as I've ever seen. FMD

Jordy Clark doing handball drills with Brett Pitt half time in the ressies. How good is that? Well done Jordy. Looks good in a Demons kit too.

A really good win by the boys in the league 14.10 to 10.5 in a hard fought hit out for both sides who had a few missing.

We've got McInnes,Sinclair, Burner, Giblett and Bennell to come back in.

Superb effort by Regan Clarke who was BOG for mine. Ajang Ajang was much improved after a slow start. Busher played forward and took a lot of marks but his kicking was uncharacteristically off.

Nyika John played the best game I've seen from him. Blanketed Schloithe and won a lot of his own footy, took on 3 South players and beat them in the 3rd qtr. Has definitely put his hand up for a league spot in round 1.

Was told by one of the players not playing today that retired SF ruckman Brock Higgins is our new ruck coach. Great get, apparently good mates with Mossy from their EP playing days.

That's good news about Higgins.
seems to me a couple of talls may prospects.
Kane Johnston and young Sturch amongst our best in the ressies.
Seems to me a few talls have arrived at the Club.
At least we are trying to find some.
Bakic also played today I think.
Johnston seems interesting.
Has arrived from Peel, is 197cm and was named at FB.

He was great at FB, taking some strong marks and spoiling more. He should be even better once he adds another 10kg to his frame. He was thrown to CFH in the last. Quartermaine was off (precautionary for a head knock)and Smith was rested so they changed things around a bit. FB seems to be his spot and he easily overtakes La Fontaine in that position IMO.

and btw how fkn good was Hamish Free for them around the ground?! He won’t be playing ressies again that’s for damn sure

Really wanted to go to this game but a mate who I haven't seen for 18 months asked me to the Dockers for his birthday. I go for the Dockers but don't have anywhere near the same level of passion for them as I do the Dees. Hopefully see most second halves this year. BTW Futures, Colts and League won. 3 out of 4 - A good result
 

Shoutout to Ali Al shuweli in the futures who kicked 6. Can’t wait to see how he progresses
