Cottrell really got motoring as the game went. Boyd was full of run too so kudos to the fitness team for getting them back on the park.
Lemmey marked well but his normally reliable kicking let him - and us - down. I hope it’s not contagious.
O’Keeffe was OK and Mirkov did some nice things. It’s good to see him getting involved around the ground. De Koning was average.
Binns was a little down on previous weeks, perhaps he should have worn 25 again.
Dow flashed in to the play occasionally but went missing for too long. I was hoping for a big effort from him in the last quarter but it didn’t happen.
Plowman was good but I suspect that he was trying to do too much in the absence of Kemp and Durds. Akuei tries hard but seems to lack sure hands and awareness. I’m not sure that his athleticism will make up for that.
It was a bit like the firsts last week, too many missed targets presented the opposition with too many opportunities.

That crossed my mind too.

It may be just a tad nerdy but I have a spreadsheet of our list each season going back to 2015. Tom’s weight has stayed around the same mark for the past 2-3 years.

Being down at the ground, it was interesting to compare 2 players: Harley Reid, prospective No
1 draft pick and Paddy Dow, seasoned former No 3 draft pick. One has the presence and the body language of an AFL footballer, there's just something about him. The other, unfortunately, is a plodder.

We didn’t maximise early picks / trades for those few years. Dow, LoB, Sam, Fisher (?), Stocker, Philp.
We're also seeing some real class in the top 20 over the past couple of years. JHF, Shezeel, Ashcroft, to name a few.

Hopefully I can watch the replay in the next couple of days, because up to about 1/2-time the AFL players were less than impressive.
