Can any one there confirm Skinner deserved BOG?
I sure hope so!

I thought Markovic was BOG, Skinner played well, but faded at times.

I know the report can't always tell the full story but..

MC: Bringgggggg Markovic innnnnnn.
Shame Vez not in the best. Maybe bring Sammy in for DJ

I agree. Having one genuine tall in our backline is fraught with danger.

Skinner was not BOG, thought Hill was. If he puts in a few more weeks like that he may get to wear the jumper again.

The whole bests are out of whack really; Howard and Vez were also really good, and I thought Reid butchered the ball with most of his possesions.

Markovic was really good too, if Lake continues to do whatever it is he's doing at the moment, I don't really see how there isn't a place for him in the team.

Speaking of Lake, he copped a big whack in a one on one contest, where I'm guessing he did his eye. He also looked to have dislocated a finger in that same contest. He would have played about 10-15 minutes, but wasn't particularly good in that time. Played down back and took one strong mark, but got beaten on the lead a few times too.

Prato played the best game I've ever seen him play, he really looked like he might be something. He consistantly won the hitouts all day; its just a matter of being able to put the ball to advantage that he needs to work on. Also took a strong pack mark in the 4th that was particularly impressive.

Haven't seen Prato play at all. What is he like around the ground? Is he agile for a big man or lumbering?

He was very good the previous week as well however, he's not a great decision maker. I'd say he's very agile for a big man but lacks a strong fitness base. Looks capable of being able to be used as a forward which is just about a requirement for a ruckman now.

Do you think we will promote him next season?

He's still a work in progress as far as I am concerned but every now and then he does some thing that catches the eye. Against North Ballarat he grabbed the ball Kouta style and went for a run before kicking it to a leading forward. If he keeps playing well for the balance of the season it would be a difficult decision especially with Roughead, Cordy and Tom Hill also waiting for their chances.

Could Prato be a forward similar to a guy like Tippett?

I wouldn't have thought so.

Is Prato similar to Hampson from Carlton?

Agile for such a big guy, but still has much to learn about the game?

Probably a fair comparison, although Hampson is obviously much further ahead.

He really needs to build his fitness base; he was rotated a lot, and buggered every time he came off.

Re: Williamstown vs Frankston

Hill best on ground against Frankston?

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
Hopefully Williamstown play some tougher opposition in the near future.

He looked like he was trying really hard on the weekend, lots of running to provide link-up, second efforts, etc.

Now to see if this mentality lasts more than one week.

Re: Williamstown vs Frankston

Skinner BOG = lol. Not even close. Sure they just pick a random number.

Thought one of the umpires deserved a vote. In the third the Dolphins had a freekick in the back pocket. The umpires called play on twice then gave a 50 m penalty against the Willy player. Fair to say much of the surrounding supporters were in disbelief also.

Thought Reid, Vez, Markovic, Hill all made strides to getting selected.

I got to the ground and thought the scoreboard had malfunctioned at the end of the ressies.
