Round 1 Reserves Report
WAFC 13.9 (87) d. SAFC 7.10 (52)

The return from injury and illness of several players resulted in a more mature and experienced team taking to the oval against SAFC. The players were challenged to know their roles, execute those roles and take their chances. The players individually and collectively met that challenge. Statistically and on the scoreboard the two teams were in an even contest at half-time, but with determination to be harder and stronger for longer, in the second half we outscored SAFC 8.3 to 3.5. Pleasing for supporters would be the positive returns from injury of A. Anderson, Webb and Fielke. No doubt supporters are starting to ask about the composed young 16 year old playing in the backlines, Jack Agostino, and are excited about the development of young players in Middleton as a centre-half back, Dijksman and his ability to accumulated possessions inside and outside the contest, and Evans with his ability to win the hard ball in the first two reserves games of the year. A "next generation" half-back line of Nelson-Middleton-Dezylva were instrumental in this week's win against SAFC. The strong performances from the players mentioned and from several others this Reserves grade win is a good sign for competition for selection in the League side for the next game.

Statistically and on the scoreboard there was nothing in the game at half time. Second half we outscored SAFC 8.3 to 3.5
Postives
Great run off half-back: Dezylva, Nelson, Middleton, Agostino
Leadership voice of Callum Hudson.
Composure of youngest player - Agostino (one ineffective disposal in 17 possessions from the back pocket)
Development of MIddleton as a CHB
Positive returns to the game from injury from Fielke, Anderson and Webb.
Dijksman and Middleton again make strong cases for league selection with standout performances in their roles, and Fielke did enough to suggest he is ready to be considered for league selection. Webb got better as the game went on. 5 kicks, 3 handballs and 3 goals are not big numbers, but with 18 hit outs he could be considered as a FullForward-Ruck option for the league side this week. He played about 3/4 of the game, about half of that was in the ruck.
Campbell Smith always looked dangerous inside 50 and around half-forward, often competing 1v2 as he engaged the SAFC +1.
Evans another solid game through the midfield.
Spread of goalkickers - Webb, Schott, Gallard
Jennings and Anderson finding form in return games from injury

Very professional and provides great information for people who can't see the reserves play each week.    

Thanks Shane. From far away in Costa Rica, that told me so much.
