At the end of the game, Hall and Lake didn't look like the best of mates on the bench.

Ha ha, what happened? Missed it, 7 commentary team are harping on about it now though

Both were talking & laughing at the end of the game, nothing in it.

Shot of them showed each looking away from the other, and neither looked thrilled.. they showed them a couple of times, and at games end, all seemed OK. Bit of a beat-up methinks. As I've previously posted, they're at opposite ends of the ground, and as long as they hold up their end, we'll be right!

A "pleasing" interview with Rocket post-game - in about a minute and a half, he got it in at least 3 times I think. And did Timmy put it in too?

Jarrad Grant seems to be showing his ability

He's not AFL first team standard.

They were sharing a joke at one stage on the bench.

However Richo didn't look thrilled when interviewing Baz after the game, and neither of them made any eye contact with each other. There seemed more there than anything between Baz & Brian.

Looked better when he was without the ball pressuring the opposition than when going for the ball. Needs more of this kind of exposure though, and playing alongside Hall can only help him.

Agreed - very good signs there.

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

True, they have gone to him a lot, but it's a whole heap better than the aimless bombing into forward 50 of recent seasons, and he has made really good position.

Big change in our approach into the forward 50 compared to last year where we either went wide or bombed aimlessly with a hail mary. Even if Hall gets well held, we now have the option to go wide to the Gia, Murphy Johnston Hill, Hahn. Its a much more balanced forward line.

Re: NAB Cup Round 2, Dogs v Hawks

A great example there of what you were saying. Griff just bombed it in and unlike for the past 5 or 6 years we had a tall target to mark it in Hall.

Yeah Hall really moves a pack, doesn't he

Some observations:

- Roughead and Moles are ready
- Grant and Stack are not ready
- Cross still doesn't like kicking
- Eagleton was raw, as to be expected
- Griffen, Gia, Gilbee look better
- Hill played well, excluding the kicking yips. Will benefit from having Hall, possibly more so than Hahn who can compete physically, whereas Josh needs to come in from the side

To me he looks as if he lacks the body strength, and just seems a little lost and unsure. Looks like a kid taking his first steps. I'd be surprised if he got a lot of game time in the firsts this season.

Richo is a shit interviewer, he sounds so disinterested and as if he's reading off an autocue, or trying to remember the questions that he's been learning over the week.

Gee Moles reminds me of Dimattina.

Just home from the game and we were all commenting about this. The likeness is damn scary.

On the money there. I might be more critical of Hill, I still get the feeling that he lacks intensity on the ball.

X 1000... he was good for kicking goals (and cracking the sads)... he's a dud with the mike. Boring as hell. Would almost rather hear Kelli Underwood. Almost.
