First half review – Ben Dyer

“It was a good half-year for him from the point of view of playing against some really different opponents. There were strong opponents who wanted to wrestle; others who wanted to move him around.

“What he’s probably learned is that at senior VFL level you have to be good all the time. He now appreciates that you’ve got to be good in a number of areas to play against those forwards and it’s been an education in concentrating and applying himself for the whole four quarters of the game.”

Second half review – Ben Dyer

“Where he plays in 2016 we’re not sure yet. Down the track maybe he is a key forward, but for an induction into senior (VFL) footy, having the game in front of him probably isn’t a bad idea.

“His rehab has been going well and he’s been able to get a good skill block. We’re looking forward to see what he can do over summer.”

In the news

August 19 – Timing is everything – STORY

"The idea of having surgery on the shoulder and the foot was to get them out the way and get my body right for day one of pre-season."

May 14 – Sam changes direction – STORY

"I struggled the first couple of weeks playing up forward, but eventually I got to move down back and played as a key defender where I feel a little bit more comfortable."
