""He got the ball 17 times in the 50 minutes he played so we were pretty pleased with that since it was his first real run of the pre-season,"" Sheedy said. ""We played alright but we can get better - we didn't use the ball that well coming into the forward line.""
Big forward Courtney Johns left the ground at half-time with a shoulder injury. Johns hurt the shoulder when he fell awkwardly after a marking contest. The Injury isn't serious and he is still expected to be available come round one.
""Courtney has got to learn to fall to the ground a bit smarter - he hit the deck like a packet of spuds falling off the back of a truck. He needs to do some work on that to ensure he falls properly and doesn't hurt himself,"" Sheedy said. ""we just need to keep him fit - he should have kicked four goals in the first half.""
Sheedy was pleased with the performances of a couple of young Bombers - singling out Paddy Ryder and Jay Nash.
""That was the best game Jay has played with the club without a doubt and Paddy Ryder is going to be a very good player for us,"" Sheedy said.
