Like the idea of both of these guys. O'Farrell has the height and the shut-down ability, Berry has the ability to get a goal or three. I'd prefer a mid with express pace, but ...

Very disappointing, but when you're playing a team with so many AFL-listed players, it wasn't going to end well.

The 2's play on Saturday at 10:25 at Carlton. As usual, the team sheet is unavailable. We can't be favourites, even though we went up one spot last week, even though we lost.

I like what Leek Aleer brings. He is only going to get stronger and he has an enormous upside.

Interesting. Like others, I can't see a role for him in our present defence. Saad and Boyd do pretty well on the small forwards. If he wanted to come to play VFL on minimum chips, I'd take him, but I wouldn't be hunting him. His best has passed.

We were the 2nd bottom team: they were above us on Percentage. I think we're firmly entrenched as 2nd bottom now. :( That said, yes, we have players who need to step up, especially taking a few clutch marks. The number of times our players get their hands on the ball and fail to complete a...

We usually have a late out. Don't be surprised if Maher plays. Our side is also somewhat tall, so a small would be a good thing. Phillips, I haven't been overly impressed by. He hasn't supplied a lot of leadership as yet.

A really quick mid and a guy to smother the oppositions' quick mids would be useful.

Nice to see Sruk named. Hope he can show something. Good to see Mirkov back. He gives our mids first use and we need as much help in that area as we can get.

That's a damned good question!

Indeed. No Marchbank in the seniors until he's had some match practice in the 2's and got through at least 3 games without something new happening.

Fair enough. But considering how young the AFLW is, and how few players have played in yet, it makes some sense. I was always irritated when the rules changed for the men and we missed out on decent players, Lloyd comes to mind.

Indeed, but a promising one. I'm looking forward to seeing how she goes in the next couple.

Not the result we wanted, but we couldn't have had many senior list players running around. Who was playing?

I've still got a few of those myself. 1979 and 1981 well used.
