Re: Footscray v Richmond Final Practice match
I only saw the 2nd and 3rd quarters but my observations were
*Thought Stevens had a solid 2nd, won or halved contests got his hands on it and used the ball well, which was pretty much the opposite of his poor 3rd quarter where he didn't get enough and butchered it a few times.
*As mentioned the most impressive part of Hrovat's game was his repeat efforts. Was as strong without the ball as he was with it.
*Disappointed in Redpath's game. Didn't impose himself forward and I'm not seeing the point of putting him in the middle at the centre bounces. Can't find the ball and doesn't use his size when he's in there.
*Dale and Hamilton are both similarly smart players who use the ball well and put themselves in good spots. Both are a long way off physically and Hamilton struggles with his tank but they've both got a lot of upside. Wasn't super impressed with Maclean's game, looks to be the furthest away. Took a solid hit in the 2nd quarter too.
*Roarke Smith didn't play but walked across the field at half time. That hair is tough to miss.
*Hamling definitely looks a guy who can play a role for us. Can see him in the 1sts soon, although tough to break into the backline the way it's travelling.
*3rd quarter was pretty poor across there board. Let Richmond have their way a lot which shows we can't afford to drop off the pressure element of our game against any side.
