Just watched the first quarter on Kayo: fair dunkum it is nice to see!
[1] Although we dominated the first quarter, there was only one listed player who had much ball at all: Setterfield. Setters got a lot of the pill, but he was the normal Setterfield. Not sure what to take from that performance, except that he was on Mathieson for a fair bit of the quarter.
[2] Our ruck issues will remain with us for a while. Young Mirkov shows real promise, but he doesn't know a lot about the caper. Give him a couple of seasons and he could be a weapon. However, at the moment, he has real limitations in what he knows how to do.
[3] Crocker was very good, and he did something few Carlton forward do well: he leads. He played on Cockatoo and tore him a new one. Cockatoo had no idea how to be a defender.
[4] Our disposal this week was very good, and mostly from the VFL types. if the seniors could dispose of the ball like that, we would have beaten Brisbane easily last night.
[5] Radovanovic (71) continued to impress after last week. He isn't the tallest, but he positions himself well and moves the ball on as quickly as he can. I was impressed.
[6] Wooller had a really good game, managing to get space, taking some strong marks and kicking well. I really liked his game.
[7] Brisbane were a rabble. They had more AFL experience out there than we did, but they did very little. Their mistakes we fed on, and we fed well.
Live Long and Prosper!

Crocker would probably kick goals in the seniors vs the poor to midpack teams and be a better bet than a few others as he is smart and kicks straight.
But would he succeed vs the better teams and be in our next premiership team?

Playing more as a specialist forward these days unlike when he started as a mid.
If he keeps kicking big bags I think someone might give him another try for half a season in the next supp/rookie draft.

The other bloke who played forward and rotated through the midfield is a better option in my opinion, Parsons. Not being able to crack it as a mid / forward at the Handbaggers doesn't mean you aren't a good footballer. He's not going to displace guys like Hawkins, Selwood, Dangflog, etc., etc..
