Report from BomberBlitz
Dont have all the match ups sorry.2QIK4U wrote:Nice work Gossy. Two questions.
1. Do you have the match-ups?
2. Who won?
Chartes played on Hille.
Mckinnon was generally against Laycock.
Bradley and Ryder had a go on Lucas.
Michael was on Johns.
Fletcher was on Gumby.
As far as the midfield went im not 100% sure. Dempsey might have been on Lovett but they werent exactly looking after each other. Someone else may know about this.
2nd question- Reds won by about 10 goals i would say.

Yeah he looks bigger. I got a few pictures of the huddles so when i put them up this arvo we can judge if he has.
He certainly did seem to do a lot better in the one on one marking duals around the ground, he was very good at positioning himself and getting his hands to the ball with good timing i thought.

Glad that most of the players are looking good but as Lloydy pointed out on SEN last week, if you aint looking good by now, you will have a very long season ahead.
We are still starting from a fair way back but if the kids are going along nicely and Sheeds plays the attaking football he says he will, then thats a good start.
The defence looks stronger with Michael down there and hopefully Gumbleton* can hold a spot there for a while.
The forward line looks very very dangerous.
HF: Hird Lucas Johns
FF: Lovett lloyd Davey.
However, the forward line will be nearly useless if the midfield cant carry the ball and deliver with some sort of precision. We have a decent team on paper, maybe even a very good team. But we are starting from a fair way back.
I also hope the club has learnt from Sydney and Adelaide last year. If someone has an injury and arent up to scratch, play them in the twos at the start of the season. We messed up bad with JJ last year and it hurt both him and the club. Sydney got off to a poor start last year (2-5), but hit form at the right time and made the GF. Adelaide got of to a flyer, everybody said the fla is in the bag and they didnt even make the GF.
* On gumbleton, I am really worries about this guy. Normally a bloke who gets picked in the top 5 should walk into the team and play well, but all reports suggest he is really struggling at the moment and not doing a thing. Is he injured?

You would have to swap CJ and Davey Ross and wheres Gus....midfield?
yes, has been for several weeks. This is why he was wearing the different top yesterday - he wasn't kicking. He took a really good grab at one stage out in the forward pocket but had to hand it off for someone else to have a ping at goal.Rossoneri wrote:* On gumbleton, I am really worries about this guy.

Great, our 18 year #2 pick has injury concerns already.Koala wrote:yes, has been for several weeks. This is why he was wearing the different top yesterday - he wasn't kicking.

Im sure it is nothing to be concerned about or else he wouldnt have played at all yesterday. He might just be feeling the increased pre-season training which his body has adapted tooRossoneri wrote:Great, our 18 year #2 pick has injury concerns already.Koala wrote:yes, has been for several weeks.

Young blokes often get injuries when they start in the big time. He's a BIG young bloke and will take some time.DYSON#2 wrote:This gumbleton business is concerning.. hopefully he just needs more time to settle in..
This year he'll get a run, but don't expect him to be a gun by June.
He will take 3-4 years to reach potential. We shouldn't be too hurried in our expectations this year.
This year we should be hurried in our expectations of CJ and Kepler, Dyson and Licha.
