    Werribee this week

    I notice Steven Tiller, Travis Baird, Josh Hill and Damian McCormack are all playing seniors this week, along with regulars Will Minson, Wayde Skipper, Dylan Addison, Cameron Wight, Malcolm Lynch, Marty Pask and Cam Faulkner.

    Only 11 listed players in the squad so no-one was left out due to the quota (don't think it applies this week anyway).

    Power and Walsh are still injured.

    McDougall, Stack, Hughes and O'Shea are playing reserves.

    Good to see Tiller earn a game in the seniors side, and hopefully Dmac can show a bit too.
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

      I could be heading down to watch this game. If I get there I will report back on both games.

        I will be interested in how Tiller goes, he has kicked a couple of goals in the past few weeks. I think he has potential.

          Hopefully D-Mac & Tiller can get through unscathed. Both have shown a bit, despite injuries.

          I guess McDougall in the 2nds still isn't a great sign.

            Doogs????

            Just can't work out what to think about him.

              Very happy for Tiller too. Very happy.

                Went to the game today and while the 2nds had a impressive 100 point win the 1st's were very disappointing.

                For the 2nds all the Doggies players performed well. Doogs was quiet in the 1st quarter but did well alternating between forward and ruck duties. he was probably at his best on the ball and kicked a couple of long goals.
                O'Shea mainly battled against Stefan Marin and was pretty good. Got injured in the last minute of the game but was hobbling around OK after it. Stefan Martin was one of the real smokies at last years draft
                Hughes was very classy and is too good to be playing in the 2nds. Stack moved very well.

                I'll write a bit more later on but the firsts were a long way off playing well.

                  Skipper was very good today and was holding his marks. Without Pods, Tiller was played at FF alongside of Barham however, it wasn't long before Barham was sent back to try and curb the rampant Zebras.
                  Minson was just a bit better than average today and gave his customary 50mtr penalty for mouthing off.
                  Faulkner was solid in the midfield but was a lone hand in there. The Bees players often missed him when he was out by himself or put him under a lot of pressure with poor handballs. He battled hard though.
                  Hill was classy at times but didn't do enough.
                  Tiller was OK in the forward line but was undersized.
                  Baird was quiet in the first quarter but got into the game better each quarter after that.
                  Wight tried hard but was beaten by Sautner before moving forward
                  Pask was undersized against Holland but tried hard.
                  McCormack was decent across half forward and on a wing.

                    Doesn't sound good at all.

                      Doesn't sound like anyone wants to get promoted.

                        Baird's form is pleasing, considering where he was at little over a month ago. Skipper has been trying hard all year in vain it seems.

                        How did Wight look up forward?

                          Surely you're kidding about Minson giving away a 50m penalty! For such a bright young man he's struggling to learn from that particular behaviour.

                            He's an academic though, book smart.

                              Tiller undersized physically or just not a key position player GVGjr?

                              Thats not good for Wight, Sautner is up there with Essendons A-Welsh & H Slattery as my most hated opposition players.

                              Sautner just strikes as a kn_b
