NAB CHALLANGE MATCH v ST KILDA

Re: NAB CHALLANGE MATCH v ST KILDA

I disagree about Harbrow having pace. Dont get me wrong, he is not slow however I would not say he has pace. In fact I wish/hope he has gained a yard with the new conditioning guy.

I would say that Harbrow IS genuinely quick. His closing speed to tackle defenders in our arc is probably his best weapon, as is his foot speed to get away from tacklers himself.

I wasn't at the game so I can't comment on it directly.

But a good mate of mine works for St.Kilda and pretty much said there wasn't too much to be worried about or to take from the game as far as how the teams would go.

He said all our regular midfielders were on a rotation of 5 minutes on, 4 minutes off - regardless of what was happening in the game (eg. leaving opposition not manned up etc)- and the changes were being run so quickly that most players had no idea who they were on.

He said Eagleton and Ray played on each other - but typically didn't go near each other all day.
He thought Higgins was our best, but other than that nobody settled in long enough from either team to play well.

If we're terrible in rounds 1 & 2 - then maybe get worried guys...until then I wouldn't be too phased.

Thanks for that info Ozza, much appreciated.

As an interesting side note to this discussion,

At the start of the match the umpires didn't have a coin to toss to decide the ends.
So have a guess how they did it!........

yes that's right.

That's gold! They should do that every game - it would be hillarious!
