Overall our tackling pressure was very good, but the Ruck issue was a major problem with Boyd dominant. Also thought Rokhar was damaging.

We lack the polished footballer, not helped with quiet games from leaders such as T Schiller, Weaver and Grace.

Carpenter was the latest youngster to get a game at the Senior level; he has certainly grown over the last 12 months and is a solid likely looking prospect.
I reckon Lewis Cowham might be next in line for a league debut.

I'm a big fan of Tyson, have played alot of cricket against him and played with his old.....amazing family. Tyson goes alright but he is indicative of our issues (no fault of his own) but in football terms he is a midget trying to play as a key forward...………..186cm.

Is he every really going to be able to make it as a key forward at that height......you feel if he is ever going to be a gun league player its going to have to be as a half forward flanker type who can play 'tall'.

On that note we are such a small side..... based on the sides from Friday night Centrals 6 blokes under 180cm and only 4 blokes over 190cm. On the other hand Norwood did have 7 shorter types but also had 9 blokes over 190cm. We might have had a ruckmen had there been one available but that probably would have meant Buechner played at full back and Carpenter wouldn't have played.

Im going to presume the grandfather was an extremely talented cricketer as well.....talent oozes through the family.

I'm surprised there's no plugs to buy his book on the scoreboard - or the LED advertising boards for that matter
