He has looked impressive from the little I have seen of him. Looking forward to seeing how the younsters perform tomorrow.

Broad from the tigers went well i thought. At the game and his eff % seemed good. Made space up when needed and looks like he will play. The other tiger that interested me was Menadue thought his game ok but with about 10 top players to come in might not be best 22.
For the dockers thought Weller deserved a mention. Like him.

Good work Judders! Great to get some feedback from someone who was actually at the game. Marcon and Corey Ellis were the other two I was interested in from this game - did either of them make an impression while you were watching?
Ellis effective marcon unsure didnt realise who until after. Ellis looked like backing up last years form and was busy and although grigg scored a ton i thought he was ordinary with his disposal and decision making.
Broad and meanadue for me.
Anyone watch the North v Saints match? I was just having a look through the stats and looks like Anderson was pretty poor, Gresham was Ok and McMillian was alright with reasonable DE some rebounding 50 work, tackles and 1% as well.
Also how was the big yank Holmes? His stats seemed Ok price probably puts him out of the question but he may see a bit of game time this year and seems to be progressing nicely.

20 possies at 3/4 time 13 kicks 90% DE 5 clearances, I'll be watching his 2nd game to see how he goes. But in a team today that really is not preforming he looks the goods.
Mills was a (very) clear-cut favorite to go pick 1 in his 17 year old season. He missed most of last year due to injury (some questioned whether Sydney were posturing so they wouldn't have to give up so much for him) but still went at pick 3 under the new system. Sounds like he's off to a great start and might be worth the $200+k investment.
I was at the game. Anderson looked ok. Did some nice things and rotated between Mid and fwds. Not sure how he scored SC wise.
McDonald seemed to do a lot of the rebounding out of D50 and may have affected McMillians output.
Super impressed by his game today. Didn't look out of place. Scored 83pts. Now he just has to get a game come rd 1
Remember who Mills was against today though, Port Adelaide fielded a side well below par, I've had Mills in my side for a while, encouraging to see him playing well but won't stop me changing him if others perform well also
Gore looked Ok against WC 9k, 4h, 69% DE 6m 3t 2 goals will he have a case for R1?
Also Leppa has said that Mathieson has every chance for a R1 call up 9k, 4h, 61% DE, 1m, 2t and 1 goal.
It will be interesting to see how both are used in their next hit out.

From memory Mathieson played a VFL game for Geelong and was the leading clearance player that day you think with a afl preseason under his belt he's ready to go,
Hope so, like to see a couple more from him especially when the core of the Team come in and play. Would like to see where Brissy intend to use/play him.
On the ball or out of the team I reckon.
Mills looks like he's got a spot of the back flank with a little bit of time in the middle, not sure where I'm going to get the money for him.
From the weekend i liked:
Mill (Lock)
Kerridge (Lock)
Macpherson (needs to be elevated)
Dan Howe (unlikely to crack the Hawks backline)
Currie (not expecting massive scores from him as R3)
Keays (Does he keep his spot with Rockliff, Rich, Beams, Hanley, Zorko and Bastinac to come back in)
Mathieson (see above)
Howard (If he gets a start in R1 he is in)
Gore (dont think he plays R1 though)
Anderson (Not sold on Jed yet, unsure if he plays R1)
Blakely (Good luck getting in to that Freo midfield)
Marcon (Dont think he make the R1 team)
Menadue (See above)
Mabior Chol (WOW the guy can jump!!!!)
Byrne (nneds to be elevated)

Keep an eye on Clarke. Unsure if he can break into the Kangas R1 team but wouldn't surprise me if he lined up.
I thought Ellis was good for the Tigers. Hardwick loves the kid by all accounts and I reckon he will get a R1 gig.
