It's great don't get me wrong.....but it is Bendigo after all so some performances need to be taken with a grain of salt...

Kildonan great feedback on the game. Thanks for the reports.
Farrrrkkk, plays a good game and then cops a bad injury in the final seconds. This can be a cruel game sometimes.

Great to see Roberton back playing well. If BOG he must have been moving okay. He and Hickey would be great additions for the saints

Fairly hard game given conditions.
Against inferior opposition
Both ruckmen dominant against a small opponent... Hickey moved well. Holmes did one tap which led to a centre clearance... Probably the best bit of ruck/roving I've seen for a long time
Curran and Saunders revelled in the rubbish conditions as it suited their ground level style. Both very tough players.
Bruce, very impressive tall
Siposs was dominant across HB until a possibly broken arm. Roberton also pretty good.
Schnieder and Ray
Forward line of Dunnell, TDL, Lee, White was very dangerous considering the weather... Bruce also dangerous when pushed forward.
I think Curran, Siposs, Saunders, Schnieder... Should be pushing for Seniors
Simpkin, Milera, Jones... Not
But Sippo is gone for a bit I reckon?

Hickey?
Somebody should've said that to the Richmond cheer squad. They thought they won the flag on Sat.
Longer would need to play a bad game for Hickey to get in.
Billy rucked against Ivan Maric in an AFL standard game and had better numbers than Hickey who rucked against a 6'5" opponent and terrible VFL team
That being said, he can only beat who he plays against... And he was very effective. Holmes dominated clearances also.
Siposs stood out for me

We wouldn't be the first side in the AFL to play two ruckmen in the same side...
We get down to one key forward every time Stanley has to go in the ruck. I think we need to bring in Hickey or bring in Lee so it doesn't affect our structure too much when Stanley rucks

hahaha yes - they are terrible supporters (all clubs have them but Collingwood and Richmond are the two worst - uber feral.......yes Essendon and Carlton are also bad but they are just plain arrogant which IMO is different)
Few sides play two ruckmen (only)
Most have a clear #1... And another tall who plays fwd/ruck.
Having a Ruckman on the pine at all times limits rotations.
Hickeys movement around the ground was great today for a 6'7" but he lacks aerial presence, even in the conditions... So he is ineffective fwd.
WC have two ruckmen... 1 is a freak athlete, the other a freak footballer.
Can't think of many others

Any word on what whites injury was?
Yeah try them both out together. Rotate them through the forward line.

Meanwhile half the Richmond fans on BF are spewing because it flatters their season and they get a lower draft pick

Looks like he rolled an ankle...he was hobbling around in the rooms after the game but appeared pretty happy so maybe not as bad as it looked...Siposs had his arm in a sling..not sure how long either player will be out..if they're out at all...Spencer got 3 goals and Siposs looked pretty handy down back..

Always thoughts Siposs looked decent down back but gee how many half backs do we need??
Having Savage, Webster and Sippa deliver out of the back line sounds good to me though..... He should continue to play back and build his defensive game.

So do we call you Dr. Big Mart? Pretty impressive stuff giving us a recovery time before a diagnosis!
