      Solid 1st quarter by Williamstown. 6 goals 2 to 2 goals 1.
      Liked Everitts and Rougheads efforts.

        Minson 8 kicks in the first quarter! Couple of them havent been great but good to see him getting involved!

        All the big blokes doing really well despite the conditions

          I totally agree mate, just don't think Eade/MC rate him.

            Real shame but I tend to agree.

              Don't agree that they don't rate him. There is more to it than that.

              He needs to lift his intensity, which I think he is starting to dot. The MC are really not sure where to play him. He isnot very good in defence and he hasn't set the world on fire in the forward line. We must all remember, tall guys mature later and I believe he will be very good in the next few years.

                I guess 'don't rate him' is very relative.

                I find the needing to lift his intensity an interesting point. Overall, I do agree but I think confidence can play a big part in someone's intensity, especially someone who seems naturally more of a quiet type like Dre.

                I totally agree with your tall guys maturing later comment but I doubt whether Eade and co. will have the patience with Dre. I fear his very good days will be with a different club.

                  I would love to hold on to him and hope that happens.

                  Any way, he is playing well in this game and lets hope he continues in the second half.

                    Yep he sure is, perhaps I should have just posted all that in the Everitt thread!

                        Hills stats must be 1 kick for a goal. Has he even touched it in the third quarter? Very disapointing when you consider the dominance of Willi.

                          3 quarter time. Williamstown 17 goals 4 to 5 goals 3.
                          Dominant display.

                            We must hang onto Everitt for at least 2 more seasons. Kid will be a very good player.

                              Stack playing better in the second half, has three goals now.
