I'm assuming Mirkov will be Captain and Monahan will be Vice Captain.

C: A. Stevens (64), K. Ferronato (63), D. Hogg (70)
HF: J. Lefroy (79), L. Nelson (57), W. White (77)

IN: K. Ferronato, D. Hogg, M. Rudd, C. Verrell
OUT: J. Binns, C. Durdin, C. Lord, A. Moir (AFL)
NEW: Michael Rudd, 19, 193cm, St Mary’s; Callum Verrell, 20, 188cm, Rowville

Michael Rudd was signed before the season started and will be playing his 1st VFL game for us. Was highly rated of those who missed being drafted.
Tyson Sruk is the same: signed last November, but could play for the 1st time.
I'm hoping Hayes is available. He is a strong, mature body who knows what he is doing.
Not sure Wilson and Lemmey will be back from Perth.
Lachie Swaney is one of our VC's but this could be his first game for the season. He's been injured a fair bit and has been an assistant coach for the AFLW girls.

INT: T. Travaglia (75)

This kid is predicted to go mid-first round in the draft.

Looked promising. Will probably start at HB.

[Baggers]

Pleasantly surprised by the effort put in by our patchwork VFL side. Only went down by 9pts. Could have snatched it in the end... 2.6 in the final qtr to 2.1. Great effort all things considered.

Thoughts of sending Mirkov packing at seasons end should be reconsidered, his progress since returning from heart troubles has been excellent. Full preseason... who knows what he might become.

Hayes really dominant.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Brave Effort...I reckon the VFL non listed players probably give more as a collective in terms of effort than when we have more AFL players in the team who dont go as hard.
re: Mirkov....probably one of our best and looks more accomplished with the ball, but Id want to see him vs some better opposition than the kid ex basketballer Hayes-Brown from the Perth Wildcats who has only played this season of football as a Cat B rookie and is even more of a newbie to the game than Mirkov.
Hayes was good but his disposal wasnt great.....Lewis impressed me down back and not for the first time.

The review of Carlton listed players will be short this week.

[Professer E]

The twos finished the well pretty well considering - need to sign Hayes up and offer him the captaincy.

[crashlander]

As expected. 2 listed players, Mirkov and Monahan. Mirkov had 17 disposals, which could be his career best. He usually doesn't do much with them, but ... I will watch the replay with interest.
Monahan had 3 possessions and isn't setting the world on fire. Still, he is a baby. Hopefully, he will be much better next year.

Will Hayes: 39 possessions, 10 tackles, 2 goals - the question is, why isn't he on a list? He's good enough. Granted that his disposal isn't great, but neither is Binns'. Doesn't look like he started in the square either.

21 possessions to Trevaglia. The kid has talent.
