First half review – Ben Dyer

“He’s really been concentrating on his ruck work and particularly in at centre bounces. When he goes forward it’s about his ability to win shots on goal to round his game out. He’s pretty raw and he’s come a long way since the start of the year

“It’s about being strong with his follow up (around the ground) and being a presence when he contests is a thing to work on. He’s a big body so to use that to your advantage is important.”

Second half review – Jarred Moore

“Even the rucks like Goldy at training find it hard to move him just because he’s such a big bloke.

“By mid-year I think he started to get a little bit tired and he needs a strong pre-season.

“He hadn’t played much footy at all so he was always going to tire at some stage. But the positive is that he got through a full year without any injuries, and we’re hoping he can take the next step next year.”
