Little kid Sanders kicked some nice goals and Dow, Fogarty and Stocker lifted in the last quarter but I didnt take much out of the game in terms of senior potential from many of our listed players.
Without Crocker up forward we looked a bit rudderless and it probably messed with our system....as I said before there is progress with Mirkovs tap ruckwork but his lack of around the ground game is holding him back but you can see the potential for the future.

Hope we draft tall forwards.

I haven't looked at the game yet, but I will, with interest, even though we lost.
[1] We may have lost the game, but we lost little else. We have so many injuries, and, while a couple of guys returned for this game, the list is remarkably short of matchwinners.
(a) Of the 4 named emergencies, only Sam Durdin played. That means we missed contributions and goals from Honey, Setterfield and Hayes, who are all real contributors at VFL level. That is probably 70 possessions and 3 goals we missed, just with these 3.
(b) Crocker has been the focus of our forward line all year, and he didn't play. That is probably 3 goals there we missed, and a lot of shots on goal.
© We have had very little from Josh Cripps, who has gone backwards in recent weeks.
(d) Brodie Kemp, who has been the senior fullback these couple of weeks and done reasonably, wasn't there either. Just another one of our huge injury list.
(e) We scored 6 of the last 7 goals with half a side.
(f) Durdin, Fogarty and Curnow were coming off extended absences.
[2] Dow might not have done much early in the game, I gather he was tagged, but he really lifted. He had 12 clearances from 24 possessions. He had only 4 tackles, but we know he has areas of his game that need work. 12 clearances is pretty damned good; we rave about Cripps when he gets 7 - 9 clearances.
[3] Fogarty wants more senior footy. When he has been fit, he has been a great contributor. It is a pity that he does so poorly at the job we want of him, small forward. 29 possessions and 6 tackles must put his name forward.
[4] Stocker had a great game, with 30 possessions from defence. Not many of those were from kick-ins; he earnt them.
[5] After a couple of down weeks, Mirkov stepped up, especially in the last quarter. he had 43 taps and 6 clearances himself. It has been said that he is carrying a niggle; that is quite possible. But when things were dire, he really stood up. I am glad, because he was really struggling.
[6] Carroll disappointed this week. He seems to just draft out of the game at times. He has the guts, but he really needs to consistency.
[7] Jesse Glass-McCasker is really disappointing me. I expected more from him, I guess. But I don't think he has had 10 possessions in a game this year. He does take some reasonable marks, sometimes, but he really doesn't take a lot of contested or pack marks.
With Josh Cripps giving about the same each week (less than 10 possessions and not a lot in the ruck), it does make our forward line a lot less possessing than it could be.
[8] Dom Akeui is a long way off it at the moment. he has the athleticism that could get him somewhere, but it still looks a long way off.

Crash....with Pittonet still a week or two away, do we take a punt on Mirkov and throw him into the seniors....maybe against the Giants?

I'd still be trying for top 4 and would want my best team on the park each week.

I have a theory regarding Paddy Dow......while there are others ahead at the moment and he's playing such good footy in the twos, he is now starting to get tagged every week and learning how to break that tag, which he seems to be succeeding at. He's learning a whole new skill set that will no doubt help him when he gets his next chance (hopefully) with us!!
