Had the pleasure of getting a look at the VFL game, missed a lot of the first quarter but gee what a belting. Carlton far too strong. Last time I dropped into punt road and watch us play Richmond it was very much the other way around.

Boyd - Fast and super competitive, looked too good for VFL.

Number 71, not sure who he was but played in defence and caught my eye.

Carroll - Got better as the game went on and was involved in everything. Playing on the ball, just a natural and quality footballer. Looks a bit light for the big time at this stage but he's showing a lot.

Cottrell - kicked a few goals. Seemed to be getting lose forward of the ball a lot and providing some good overlap run.

Philp - Kicked 3 in the first but not sure he was out there much after.

Curnow - Was out there early in the first quarter, knee heavily strapped and unsighted after the first or early in the second.

Dow - Dow played on the ball and was outstanding. Played against (not on) his brother. He seemed to be playing with higher effort and energy than usual. Didn't notice much in the way of poor defensive efforts as has been in the past. Thought he was great.

Fogarty - He looked busy. Really involved in the midfield and competes pretty well.

Kemp - Played half forward, took some nice marks but the ball didn't follow him a great deal. He's a talent, you can tell and his speed is a real weapon for keeping him in the contest.

Motlop - looks physically mature, faster than everyone out there and a natural footballer. Gets up the ground a long way and adds an extra midfielder but on the break going forward he's a real weapon running back to goal. Next cab off the rank into our senior team IMO. Talent galore. He's not a one trick flashy forward, he's happy to get physical and able to get up the ground and find it. What I really like is his reading the game at half forward, gets in space and gets on the end of the short kick, tells me he's reading the game really well.

Mirkov - There is talent there, he's very tall and a good tap ruckman but a development project. Would like to see him get better at general play and his overhead stuff but we should be patient here. Needs to fill out a bit too.

Newnes - Another player who is too good for VFL. Strong in the contests and played a nice game.

Parks - Thought he was really good. Reckon he's improving as a player and has put on a bit of size. Would have him in at this stage is McGovern went down.

Plowman - Just looked a quality AFL player out there. Noting flashy, just got to the right spots and was neat and tidy.

Young - general at full back, was able to sit on the back of the zone and pluck it off and even break free for a run. He's a good footballer and a good mark. Would like to see him play with more confidence but if we lose a tall defender we know we have a good backup to come in.

Thought all our players played well and looked good. Most looked like they could step up and be at least competent AFL player. It was over 100 points at one stage but a few late goals to Richmond brought that back, hell of a game from our reserves.

Appreciate the insight! Do you see anyone from the VFL game pushing for round 2 or 3 based on form?

I usually finish up reading a gbatman post thinking to myself... nice post, but could have perhaps been a little more succinct.

That post up there could have been a little more detailed, tbh. Great work.

Kemp
Motlop
Carroll
Boyd
Philp
Dow
