Just watched the VFL replay on 7plus.
First up, channel 7 cut the final minutes(?) off... Wtf?! Mason Cox had just bombed it to their attacking goal square where our defender marked unattended, and we were just rebounding out of defensive 50 and it just cuts off! I mean, I knew the result already, but seriously!
Anyway, thought a few of our AFL listed players played reasonably well, and showed some AFL quality traits.
Egg was about our best with his run and precision kicking out of defence. Still showed he's a weak 1 on 1 defender tho.
Cumberland played a great game. I doubt he has the tank to play a Castagna/Aarts role, so not sure what role he'd fill in the AFL side. Showed something though.
MRJ was busy, and his pace and tackling pressure stand out as AFL qualities. Not sure he's quite there in terms of tank, and finding enough of the ball for a debut yet.
Parker played ok, got a fair bit of the ball, but didn't use it all that well.
Martyn was also pretty good, especially as the game wore on. Looks solid.
Biggy looked a bit lost. Was giving away a fair bit of height in most contests, but not sure I see any standout AFL qualities there. Not based on this game, anyway. I suppose it's one of his first game taking the #1 defender with Miller out, so maybe just struggled with that.
Most others were ok, but it was the above players who stood out most to me.
Oh, and some questionable umpiring, especially late to swing the momentum. Even the early 50 against Rioli that gifted Cox a goal. Didn't pay another of those all day, even though I noticed a couple of obvious ones that should've gifted us shots on goal! But ultimately, we had a few changes particularly earlier in the 4th qtr and just couldn't put them away. Just frustrating when umps pull one decision out of their rears, then you don't see it paid again all day.
