Tilly seems like a nuggetty VFL version of Medhurst, I can't see anything wrong with his height!

A lot of good contributers on the day. Toby Thoolen did a great job across half back. JA is loving the move up forward and is still showing too much class for VFL level. The Caff is the bomb. 13 now in 3 games. Dawes is starting to impose himself on the game more and more and his confidence is building. Licca and Iles had blinders and big lanky Justin Crow is still outpointing bigger and stronger ruckmen with no back up!

Good effort for a very undermanned team. The outs included Barham, Presti, J Mac and Casey-Leigh, all good contributors over the last few weeks.

Oh yeh and #60 was good too. Dimattina of the Nick variety made his debut.

Agree with most of what's been written, particularly on Cox and Egan. Their good is very good, their not-so-good is very very ordinary. Hard to see where they could play at senior level to minimise the impact of their not-so-good.

I was impressed with Thoolan's skills. Some of his passing into F50 was an absolute treat.

Of the non-pies listed players, loved Pendlebury's game and could see him holding down a 3rd tall defender spot or even as a big bodied midfielder.

Can't understand what people see in Frost, seems to spend most of his time running around like a headless chook.

Ditto Nicholls, makes way too many mistakes.

Hogan was impressive when he was actually on the ground.

Crowe & Lica were sensational.

Tilly was impressive offensively but needs to work more on his defensive skills, too short for AFL.

Runs hard, but doesn't do a lot.
Average skills at best

Fair enough, i'll be more than willing to admit that whilst he wasn't bad on the weekend he certainly didn't have his most prolific game. And I know one other tv game this year he had an out and out shocker and that was against Williamstown. That is against the grain of the rest of his season.

However he is hard at it, strong overhead, and runs all day to provide an option and hits his targets. Easily in our best 3 or 4 most weeks this season, in what has been a poor year.
