Player Managers - Round #1

Re: Player Managers - Round #1

I was at the game and thought that Callan Ward's game was very good. He stood out to me with his clean possesions in traffic and his willingness to get in and get the hard ball. I wasnt looking out for him and he definitely was one who caught my eye.

Harris played a lot of the time as the spare man in defence but also followed Pavlich around a bit when Morris had peeled off. Having Williams and Everitt in the team just gives us so much more flexibility and options down back. Harris playing as a free man or on a less dangerous forward really is great as he drops back and takes marks / cuts off plays very well.

I was at the game down the Subiaco end (Freo's goals in the 1st and 3rd term). From my recollections, Brian played predominently on Grover, Everitt was playing on McPharlin in the Third when they got a bit of a run on, I thought Williams went to him after he scored two quick goals.

I think Boydy's performance was close to his best ever. He looks to have improved another 5%. Specifically I loved the way he consistently made quick fire decisions, often NOT handballing to the first option but changing his mind, was very Scott West like in the way he scanned his options and then took the best one, all in the blink of an eye.

He was very, very good

I am hoping in 2009 that he can reach a consistently high level influence of output similar to that of Joel Corey from Geelong.

Akermanis

Not his most explosive match. He wasn't sighted too often early but when he did get the ball he appeared to use it well. He was used once or twice in the midfield but as usual he mainly played up forward. With his interrupted pre-season his game wasn't too bad and should continue to improve. A candidate to be rested this week depending on how he pulls up.

Everitt:

A tough game to rate from Everitt, did some nice things but let himself down on a few occasions as well. Played predominantly in the back half but also played on a wing. Hard to tell from the TV but he seemed to be matched up on Ryan Murphy and he did a good job but let Mcpharlin get away from him in the 3rd quater and was moved into the midfield.
His run and dash was on display on a few occasions but too often he let himself down when choosing the wrong option whether it be by hand or foot.
Experience will be the best thing for him IMO as on a few occasions he went when he should have been tight on his opponent and let him slip away, this is not a necessarily bad sign IMO as it shows he has the confidence to run and attack the footy.
I would give him a 6/10, the signs were good but there is still vast improvement there.

Stats:
8 kicks
9 handballs
17 disposals
4 marks
1 tackle
0.1 score

With Boyd finishing 3rd in the best and fairest would indicate to me he reached that level last year.

That's perhaps a fair call,

I guess like a few others though I wonder how much he perhaps dropped away as the year went on.
