Still out injured - was there cheering on his team mates instead.

Great to hear Roarke Smith had a good game. Hope he can continue on with a few more good games for Footscray and build his confidence for possibly his last tilt at senior level.

Gardner used to be on the Cats right? Remember him kicking a lot of VFL goals, we could do worsee.

Irrespective of how he actually played, seeing Lukas Webb actually play a game of football is cause to celebrate in itself.

I'm so glad we persevered with him.

He's trained with us over the off season and I think he had 3 years at Geelong so he could possibly be a good replacement for Picken at the mid season draft. Given the doubts on Boyd's fitness and that he's also 198cm and mobile he could be a decent fit for us.

Not yet - has some handy skills but a bit slow still. Shows promise at least.

Were any player's game times managed with a view for them in coming on this week against Collingwoood? They must have considered that with only a five day break for the Senior team?

Surprised no R.Smith or P. Lipinski in the best players.

The only player to finish early was Greene at 3/4 time and I believe this would have been to cater for the emergency player role for Sunday’s game.

As it was, this game was played Friday night anyway, so all players will have a 7 day break for the AFL game vs. Collingwood

How was Greene for the first three quarters?

He was ok - his role/position doesn’t lend itself to a lot of possessions, but he did enough to stay in the frame for a possible AFL call up.
The key will be who the match committee deems needs to go back to the VFL for a spell this week. I believe that will heavily influence who comes up, regardless of form.
