I thought he could hold his head high. Showed a few flashes of what may be capable of in time. Showed composure, stuck his head over the footy and, best of all, tackled well - he showed great defensive pressure for a midfielder/forward.
Pleased with his efforts - he will get a run early in the main season.

No, because the real Ronnie has moved down from Queensland so that his son Dylan can play for the Western Jets this year.Northern Pie wrote:Should we nickname the Kid Ronny!
If he's good enough, he'll be ours, and it'd be kinda strange having a Wearmouth at the club, but having ANOTHER kid nicknamed after his father...

Daisy has a long way to go to be a Ron Wearmouth. Ron played in 4 GFs (inc the draw) and numerous Prelims and Semis and was a Collingwood champion through and through.
He just has that 'Ronnie' energy about him.
I thought he coped well with the pace of the game.
The key to his play is that he considers what he is going to do with the ball when he gets it. Not unlike Bucks. He doesn't just blaze away he trys to create opportunities for his team mates.

I was really impressed with Daisy's attack on the ball and his opponent, given how light he is. I reckon Lonie and Leon could learn a bit from this kid.
Overall I thought it was a great spirited performance by our team, who can only improve. It was important for confidence and self belief to get a win on the board early. The 3 Clokes all played well and look set to form the core of our team. C1 is looking in great shape, and has picked up some speed, and C2 was really throwing his weight around, which is how he plays best. As for C3, we're in a dilemma as to where he plays best, as I thought he looked great at CHB in the first quarter, but then he helped turn the game around at the finish at CHF, where looks like he naturally fits. The only problem I see with him playing at CHF, is that makes it hard to fit C2 into our forward line, with Pebbles and Tarrant.
Speaking of Taz, apart from one really good mark and a great tackle near the finish, I thought he looked his usual uninterested self for most of the night. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on the guy, as I know he cops heaps from disgruntled fans, but I reckon he is lazy much of the time, which is not what we need. Also, I thought Caracella was a waste of space, while the much maligned Chad Morrison, put his body on the line when it was needed. It was also great to see Lockyer back to his best.
Josh could be a smoky for the brownlow if he can maintain that sort of form, but Guy Richards needs to make an impact pretty soon or he'll finish the year at Willi. Rocca was a bit Rusty, but his mere presence straightens up our side and he will only improve from here on. I'd be interested on others thoughts on a few of these players.
