Box Hill did not play any Hawthorn AFL players so the result needs to be seen in this context.

Schache had a very good game I thought - moved very well and his kicking was again a highlight. Difficult to understand why he is not in Mackay.

After being virtually unsighted in the first half, Dickson's goal kicking accuracy was all apparent in third.

Greene looked good up forward with his long gadget arms netting him some fine marks and score involvements.

Roberts had a faultless game down back.

Cavarra got into the game more when he went into the midfield and he moves well with ball in hand.

Lachlan Young looks a solid, defensive type.

Lewis Young very good in the air but still prone to howlers with his kicking.

Smith was busy early but seemed to fade out of the game.

I hardly noticed Lynch with only rare flashes of his dash and run.

West was disappointing and had no real impact on the game; a long way off AFL level at this stage.

Sweet and Vandermeer did not play from what I could see.

Our best two shots got goal in a VFL praccy match. That explains 14.2.

Ominous for tonight in FNQ.

Perhaps Schache & Dicko are all but locks for our first choice set-up but we'll use the JLT - and ideally lesser opponents - to trial a plan B.

God knows we need one.

I'm guessing that means English gets a lot more time forward today - we have nobody else.

Thanks for the report Prince Imperial. So would you think Schache will play in next week’s JLT and Round 1?

We tend to like Dunkley up forward.
I heard his brother was number 75 for us.

Was very good going forward last year Dunks. One of our better players last season.

I will be surprised if he's not in next week's JLT; but maybe our forward line will really click later today and keep him out!

Will wait and see. Schache really improved in the latter part of the year. Crozier another who did get better as the year went on after a slow start.

Thanks for the report.

Some good news, and some opportunities. Good we had a few players who will keep those playing in Mackay honest.

Well that was very much wishful thinking. Has to be a certainty to play next week.

Anyone at the curtain opener in Ballarat?

Qt Dogs 3.3 to Sandy 1.1. Prettt blustery at present. Sweet clearly best big man on ground, but not sure who is opposition is. Lipper worked hard the qtr as well and Roberts solid in the Backline.

Sweet making a good fist of it, might snag a few games this year as injury back-up

He's not overly mobile but he is competitive. Certainly a learning year for him.

Great mark by Greene ends in goal to Lynch. Sandy got first two goals of the qtr however

Poor play by Le Young hands a goal to Sandy.

Goal to Dicko. Dogs 5.4 to 4.1. It is cold here and wind blowing across ground affecting game.

Smads57
10-03-2019, 01:31 PM
HT Dogs 6.6 to Sandy 4.1. Lipper would have to be one of the best on the ground playing in the midfield. Our back up ruckman when Sweet is resting, is not much taller than Lipper! Dickson getting into the game more that qtr as did Greene. Roberts easily best defender. Too cold to type anymore!

Great goal by Tory from the fwd pocket. Dogs 7.6 to 4.1

Plenty of the ball that qtr, but didn’t show up on the scoreboard. Dogs 7.11 to Sandy 5.2. Greene and Sweet missed relatively easy shots directly in front. Rain has been constant since half time. Likely to mean the main game will be affected by slippery ball. Lynch stationed in goal square most of that qtr, but I dont think that move worked

Smads57
10-03-2019, 02:28 PM
Dicko to Greene for first goal of qtr. 8 mins gone Dogs 8.12 to 5.2. I reckon Lippa brought his own ball!

Another goal to a Footscray VFL player. Pretty p***ed the club hasn’t bothered to advise VFL players names and numbers

Go go gadget mark by Greene and follow up goal. It’s stoped raining and clearing up now. Ground in amazing nick. Dogs have absolutely dominated this qtr. FT Dogs 10.14 to Sandy 5.2.

Cavarro didn’t play seconds footy, so maybe a late inclusion in the firsts

Thanks Smads, apricate your efforts under trying conditions.
I hope frost bite doesn't hit the finger tips.
By the way it's 36 degrees were I am in QLD and the sweat is rolling off. :)

Thanks for great updates Smads. You deserve a piping hot pie and coffee to warm yourself up. Feeling cold just reading your updates. Brrrrr....I really hope Greene makes it as I think he has potential to be really good and a little bit different than our other forwards-quick thinking, go go gadget arms and a decent shot for goal (geez I bet I have put curse on him now). Great to hear Dickson, Lippa and Roberts going well. Good to have some depth. Hoping Cavarra plays a bit in next match.

Its actually not that cold at the moment but I suspect it will cool down a bit later.
I'd like to echo the thanks to Smads for his efforts in keeping people informed.

Lipinski has certaintly put his name forward for a call up.
