Sumner and Lamb were a worry today.

I think Phillips will become a very good ruckman. All he needs is a few extra kilos and some time. I see good things ahead. The next draft is crucial.

Or was it all a showcase of our exciting game for the US Vice President
No matter what we make of it, it should help the club's rebuild for supporters, staff, and players alike.
Gutsy performances don't do us any harm. Compare it to our last outing with WC and you've gotta be happy.
The young fellows in particular were exciting.
Go Blues :-*

Jaksch isn't good enough at AFL level.
Sumner did well to earn that shot late but small forwards have to nail them, his ball to Curnow earlier was good.
I think he shows enough to persevere with, I'd replace Lamb with Boekhorst for next week, and Jaksch with Jones.

I thought Jaksch was better when he was moved in to defence and Weitering forward. I always thought he'd make a better defender, just doesn't have the presence to be a key forward. Worth keeping on the list as depth in defence for another couple of years IMO.
On another note, I can see why we were willing to get rid of Menzel and didn't go real hard for Ben Lennon. SOS is better than both.

What's that got to do with it. I saw it.
Like I said, first game in, only key forward in a side that was terrible with 3.3 at half time. A thing called confidence. Gets mistaken for many other things.

Jaksch wasn't good but we need to give him at least another 3 or 4 games on the trot to get a better look at him.
With you about Boekhorst. I'd like to see him in next week if he's fit.

B4L is always quick to write players off.
While he struggled today I think he was better in defence in the 2nd half. Wouldn't mind Weitering forward with Casboult next week with Jaksch given a chance to gets some confidence in defence. Might give us a chance at opening the forward line up a bit more.
Maybe we can put him on Buddy...lol.

Name one I've written off who has made the grade.
A blind man can see his limitations, what our list management people saw in him to trade pick 7 is anyone's guess but the same people signed Jones for three years.
