Finally some common sense! That's four very good players taken from the team. All would have been very handy.favourites 2008 wrote:It was always going to happen when you take out Lonie, JA, Toovey and Reid our best four players from the previous week.
Dawes impressed with his attack on the footy and he didn't get much from the umps given the number of times his arms were chopped in a marking contest, Clarke was impressive but still making errors, Cox does some very good things and then balances that with some very ordinary and he can be a little slow, Cook and Isles were consistent, Holland, Egan and Bryan need to do more to justify promotion. Dyas, Thoolan and Casey-Leigh showed some promising signs but are still a fair way from senior selection
All in all, I didn't see anybody performing to a level that demands a spot in the senior line-up.
Of the VFL listed players, Walsh was the stand out. Frost, Nicholls, Colbert and Carmody were all disappointing. Sadly Lica showed why he waqsn't retained on the senior list.
Cloke was impressive with his attack on the footy, particularly his contested marking but I still didn't see anything that would justify having hiom on our list ahead of any of the kids we currently have.
Rose clearly BOG!
Barring injuries, you would imagine that this team will improve over the winter. Add the four omissions, Rusling and McCarthy to the team and you'd imagine they will be very competitive.
