Re: Rowan Marshall
Thought Marshall's debut was really positive. Played his role and got stuck in. Plenty of touches and no obvious clangers. I hope he remains in the side next week.

Re: Rowan Marshall
I don't know what the point of playing him was? I think we went too tall, however desspite that I thought it was a reasonably good debut. He's a likely type.

Re: Rowan Marshall
A good first outing. Inserted himself into the game and deserves to stay in for next week. Rest Rooey.

Riewoldt is fantastic, and covers a great amount of ground, but what it means is that he gets to EVERY contest, not just the ones that he has a right to get to. Sometime kick it to Roo is because the guy just gets to everything - but he needs to not do it anymore - that is why a ban from the 50, unless he is a dead cert should be enforced - probably to the detriment to the team in the short term - but we need to learn to play post Roo - and the mids need to learn how to deliver without having their spearhead making everything look good by 'getting to the contest' when most 'normal' players could not.

Re: Rowan Marshall
I watched Marshall closely and while he didnt get a lot of it I liked what I saw. Quite a few times he made decent leads and got in the clear but the players ignored him and instead went to Roo on the boundary. He looks ok. Not over-awed. Made some nice tackles. Seems to have a nice physique on him. Certainly worth keeping around and getting games into next year.
One issue we have is Pierce has a contract until 2019. Beggars belief that one.

I thought he was going to play as a tall in our forward line providing relief ruck for Longer.
I hardly ever spotted him up forward except in ruck contests.
Where I did spot him, was in ruck contests and around the ground usually on the wings and then only when Longer was missing - resting on the bench I assume.
Seemed to me Marshall was used only as a relief ruckman, not as a forward.
That did allow Bruce to stay permanently as a forward.
My only complaint is he seemed to fumble a few contested marks which should have been held.
I would love to see him and Battle play when our mids are not getting so comprehensively slaughtered.

A lot of other clubs unearth a good young kid each year that plays a ripper first game. We've recruited so many duds through the draft it's fair to expect as fans to want a new kid on the block to occasionally deliver the goods from the get go. The Gresh is a prime example - hasn't been dropped since debut I believe.

Re: Rowan Marshall
I really liked what I saw in his debut game.......lots of potential and I think he deserves to stay in..... even got more fantasy points than Roo, Stevens and Sinclair!
