Did a pretty weave through traffic once but gee for a virtual first round draft pick he aint telling us why through his actions. His game today reminded me of the pre season game against the Dons where he was expected to be influential in the midfield but was lost...
What is going on with Cuningham? The pre-season reports sounded like he was flying. Is it nerves? Is it personal issues? Or is he just so far from being a footballer this could be the biggest drafting blunder ever?
He was team mates with Jack, so surely SOS knows something we don't.
I'm really hoping he makes it but haven't seen anything to suggest he'll even make it in the VFL. :-\

Ditto Jones over Jaksch.
Not sure about Jones over Jaksch. I prefer Jaksch as he is alot better mark. Has had games of 3,3 and 4 goals and other gamesin defence like last week where he got 20 touches and 6 marks. Jones has done ok though and certainly enough to hold his place so he stays. Right now, with Casboult out, I'd play them both.

He is 19.
Drafted in November and behind majority of players with smaller pre-season.
Played his 3rd game of VFL footy coming off injury.
He was pick 19, outside the Top 10, so hardly rated as high as Oliver, Parish, Keays
He is 19.
Have we become that impatient as supporters?
Harry McKay hasnt played a game yet... Pick 8, not been sighted...That looks as a bigger Drafting blunder*....
*Of course the statement above is not a serious one.

Hmm, seems like it.
Oh well back to the drawing board! :
You never know how you will be quoted, that is word for word as you wrote it, just not all the words!
Next thing you'll be posting our plan was top 4 for 2016!

I thought we were a club in a hurry.

Not worried about McKay, Cuningham and SOS.
Let them string some good, consistent footy together and get some confidence in their own abilities first before even considering them for senior selection.
Re: VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg - ElwoodBlues1 - 05-23-2016
Cunningham is going take time and we need to be patient, he isnt very big and isnt playing with a very good NB's team who can make life easier for him.
I'd be slipping him in for a few senior games at seasons end along with DVR.....
Problem I see is that we have Buckley, Sumner, DVR, Boekhorst, Tutt and Cunningham who all play the same spots...you need pacy ball carriers but we might have a
slight over supply and need to get a few bigger bodies who can also cover the ground quickly....ours as a group are too lightly framed IMO .
Sumner is a keeper but I dont know about the others...

Curnow has him covered for aerobic capacity which is one of the main requirements for the role he plays, neither of them have better than average skills so I think Curnow gets the nod.
Jaksch wouldn't need to be much good to be better than Jones, neither of them would get a game at North or a few of the other good sides.
