Michael Jamison got picked up on good vfl form and that translated into afl form...albeit over a pre-season and a change of clubs

Cottrell then, was probably the last player to bring some good form from VFL to AFL, but it didn't last.

We have a habit of leaving the players to overripen, and by the time they are picked it's too late!

Exactly what I meant, apart from the one Crash and Thry listed, typically ours play well in the 2's and seem lost at sea in the 1s.

Often they play well in the 2s in completely different positions, we don't bring them into AFL in a preferred role.

A lot of the issues being discussed are MC based issues, I think for decades now or MC has been one of the poorest performers in the AFL, and I've no reason to believe that has changed.

If you go and watch Geelong or the Filth in VFL, players play in the VFL in the same role they play in the AFL, and when they come into the AFL they know exactly what they are doing. At Carlton players come into AFL and look lost!
