Just got back from scum park, was bloody humid and very "yucky" conditions.
I moved around throughout the match, but stayed mainly with our forward line, so I may have missed a little bit of the defensive matchups.
As we all know, we kicked terribly, especially early and in the last quarter, but at least we got our hands on the ball, and if we had of kicked straight, Richlol would have been embarrassed.
I'm open to questions, but I'll just give a run down on a few players;
* Nick Maxwell, BOG, brilliant across half back, even without Shaw, O'Brien, Toovey etc. Played on the human tiprat in Jake King, and killed him. Time and time again in the first 3 quarters he marked strongly, no problems with our captain.
* Paul Medhurst, was the creationist of the forward line, controlled everything, and set up a lot of scoring opportunities.
* John McCarthy; Our forward pocket, who can play on ball. Kicked the best 2 goals of the match, and almost kicked a snap from the pocket, which hit the post. Brilliant, skillful and poised, stay fit please.
* Jack Anthony; Was trying to take mark of the year all match, but played well, could have kicked 4, but beat a tough opponent in Thursfield.
* Ben Sinclair, Ben Johnson Jr this kid is, fast, flair, and not afraid to go into packs. Looked very good early, faded a bit late.
* Jolly and Fraser; Putting these together because they are our ruck combo, no doubts, even if Wood was fit. Both spent plenty of time up forward too, and looked good in patches.
* Chris Dawes; pretty ordinary, his best work was done when we didn't have the ball, tackling, chasing etc. Still can't or won't mark over head.
* Luke Ball, Our best mid, was very good in tight, and set up some shots from around 50 too. Progressing very well.
* Ben Reid, Played on Morton in patches, and got beat, but showed some attack out of the backline. Not a true key defender yet, but is promising.
* Prestigiacomo; Was Presti, wasn't beaten one on one all day, rest him next week, and he'll be right for Barry Hall.
Was a good performance considering the players we had out, the team took a while to get going, but once it did we dominated the 1st and 2nd quarters. The less said about the second half the better, we almost played like Richmond.
Ask me about others, I'm going on memory here, no notes.
. A scuffle broke out but nothing serious, but bookmark this, next time we play Richmond Cloke vs King is ON!!!!
On Chris Dawes, the sevice to him was absolutely shocking and he constantly had 2-3 defenders at every contest he hit. His second efforts were outstanding, so i give him the thumbs up.
Also my man Benny SIncliar was very good but faded late which was understandable.
Anyway onto the highlight of the day, who saw the near fight after the game????
Pretty much after the brawl in which that little rat King got mauled by Cloke, he ran off to the applause of the Richmond faithful (shows how desperate they are). Anyway as he was lapping it up a fellow pie supporter called him a dog which is quite understandable lol, little did he know that King's whole bogan family was right there, this made them very very angry, tempers were rising. Anyway as the match ended words were banded around by the bloke who called King a dog and another supporter. King's dad thought he would be a hero and start on the bloke who called his son a dog. Now it gets better, sitting right there was the big fella, David Cloke. Big Cloke stuck up for this supporter copping it from King's dad, King's dad then mentioned Trav Cloke, I didn't hear exactly what he said, It was enough to make Big David go mental, he had to be restrained by 3 people or else Jake King's dad would've got his head knocked off
That's not true, I heard North is a great Ten Pin Bowler, while DB sucked at it.
