A few things from yesterdays trial at Elizabeth.
Centrals gave away I think four 25 metre and one 50 metre penalty for diisent. Perhaps the umps will be tightening up on this.
The Centrals recruit from Port Broughton Dylan Hewett looks to be a bit raw but talented. Pacy and with confidence probably will hang on to more marks.
Ground in excellent condition and I thought a healthy crowd.
The reserve trial was very one sided. Centrals looked to have fielded a very young and small side.
The league trial was quite an evan contest at times. South tended to kick short to contests too often when there were longer options with the same advantage or disadvantage.
Of the AFL players, Mckernan did little, Otten did a bit more, Hartigan was servicable, Shaw started slowly but dominated late and Dowdell rucked all day bar one two minute break against two opponenets.
Of the new recruits, McDonald had the ball a lot and used it well, Ah Chee played forward and is like a bulked up version of Froggy Davey, Seccul sustained a calf injury after one quarter, Jordan Taylor was quiet and Eddy was good.
South have not had a side with this much height ever. There is competition for key spots which bodes well.
