Just got back from the game....havnt got time right now to post a full report but extremely impressed with Lynch and Steven.
Lynch's ability to read the play will make him a useful asset once he builds his body up while Steven's intensity is amazing!

Alright boys, here we go:
In the 3SER box, I was the only one to tip Sandy, was accused of being biased before the bounce, but justified myself in the end! Hope you guys enjoyed the call (btw, the online web stream is a bit dodgy, sometimes you have to refresh the site and reload it to get it working again)
Thoughts:
Armitage: Brilliant game. When the match was there to be won, it was Armo that was the standout. Was runninng hard, tackling with ferocity and finding alot of the ball. Kicked a team-lifter in the first quarter from outside 50 as well. Best game I've seen him play. 28 touches, 7 tackles, 9 1%ers.
Steven: Did a lot of good things, but went missing from time to time. Worrying when he failed to make the distance from 40m on two occasions in the 1st and 3rd quarters. I really like the way he applies pressure and has good hands in close.
Dempster: Encouraging signs! Seems to be finding his feet at VFL level, and is on track to be pushing for senior selection in coming weeks. Was quite polished and wasn't rushed in his decision-making.
R Clarke: An OK game. Raph should be dominating at VFL level, but was only solid today, collecting 17 touches. One glaring error which resulted in him being caught holding the ball. Don't think he'll be in line for a recall next week.
Lynch: Super impressive. I gave him a vote today in my 3-2-1 for the station. Had 22 touches, 11 marks and 3 goals. Works extremely hard, and always seems to make the right decision with the ball in his hand. Applies good pressure on the opposition also. He is definitely a likely type.
Stanley: Another decent game from Rhys. Only 8 possessions, but was clean with them, and also gathered about 25 hit outs (level with the Coburg team's total). Really impressed with his agility and ability to make a contest once the ball hits the deck. Good 2nd efforts and intensity.
Heyne: Had a really good patch during the middle quarters, but was virtually unsighted in the 1st and 4th. Did some very neat things, and kicked 2 goals, one of which was really clever. Laid one really really great smother, which impressed me because I didn't think he was renowned for his defensive work.
Smith: Will be a player. Gradually came into the game the longer it wore on. Had a knack of finding space, looked to be quite quick and had a bit of penetration with his kicking. I liked the way he had a dip in the contests as well.
Gaertner: Wasn't too bad as a 2nd ruck option. Picked up a few disposals around the ground, won a few hitouts, and laid a couple of strong tackles, although playing out of position. Seems to be quite a versatile player, and a decent rookie pick.
Miles: Was really good before he came off. Came off in the first few minutes of the 3rd, but by then had already accumulated 15 touches and kicked the first goal of the day. Seems to be more of a flanker type, as opposed to a long-term replacement ofr Max as some have suggested.
Simpkin: Did a decent job in defence without being spectacular. Seemed quite neat and assured when he had the ball, and displayed some really good endeavour at times. Could develop into a handy player.
Goose: Again, solid, if unspectacular. Took a few strong grabs, and showed some of his characteristic runs and booming kicks up field. On a couple of occasions, was guilty of trying to crash his way through tackles, and probably should have been pinged. Is on the comeback trail, and will be back playing senior footy soon we hope.
Begley: Liked his game. Displayed some really good skills on his left foot, and applied really good defensive pressure. Played mainly half-back, running through the middle a bit, and my opinion of him has been changed. Is a very handy depth player.
From the reserves (saw the 2nd half)
Connors - Didn't notice him do too much
Howard - Again, found a lot of the ball, but on a couple of instances, was guilty of blazing away a bit without looking. Needs to develop a bit more awareness and composure - he has more space than he thinks sometimes.
McGrath - Likely type. Got his hands on the ball a bit, and seemed to have a good presence. Is still developing!
McGarry - Liked his game. Should be playing in seniors for Sandy. Runs hard, tackles hard, and seems to have good skills. Impressive prospect for a rookie pick.
Tungatalum - Did a few neat things, including a really impressive chase that resulted in his goal. Played up the ground a bit, and seemed to be quite composed when he had the ball. Got caught trying to do too much on a couple of occasions. Actually spoke to him at half-time during the seniors, very shy, but nice enough, don't think he's used to being recognised. He reckons he's put on 3-4 kgs, mainly in the legs since he's come to the club!

great report
awesome to hear that armo was busting a gut and getting to lots of contests. Suprised about steven's kicking not making 40 as he is a lovely kick.
Really impressed with the result and fantastic to hear that the kids are developing well
Just a question, had LJ done enough to justify a full spot on the list or wil we do what we did with howard and rookie him.

Thanks for a great report TBS....
Looking at recent form it would seem:
Armo pushing for Selection. One suspects that if mini was not playing capably that Armo would have played some senior footy this year.
Dempster looking good to force his way back in by seasons end
Raph...sadly has been my No 1 disappointment for the yea. I realy thought that he turned his career in the finals last year and that this year he would continue on at a higher level. sadly he has not and is struggling.
Lynch looks to in time to be a future third tall forward for us. He is a "footballer" that can read the play and very importantly for a forward knows "when" to lead and move.
Stanley looks the good for the future...but no this year.
Steven continues to shine...probably not quite ready this year...but watch out next.
Miles....seems to get mixed reports. but on the whole his games seem ok....could be a future BP...
Howard...days would seem to be number as there are simply too many players to recruit to continue for him to stay on the rookie list without showing more.

Eddy was very good. Runs hard to space, as we all know, and had about 25 touches. Was consistent across the four quarters. He's another bloke that is struggling to get a look in, but would be close to nextt cab off the rank if a midfielder/forward goes down. Impressed with his intensity and 1%ers.

Was named on the extended bench for the VFL seniors, so must be close. Continually being named close to BOG for the Ressies. I admit that I thought he looked too good for VFL ressies level, very physical and hard-running player.saintly wrote:went to the game,
enjoyed how the saints played. It would be difficult for Lynch to dominate too mcuh with Saunter in the side. but still he is going quite well.
will sam Mcgarry get a look in the VFL seniors or not ?
