Josh Fraser's player appraisal:
Quote:26. Matthew Dick
Stats: 23 disposals, nine marks, six handball receives, one goal
From the coach: It was another solid game in defence, who was more composed with his decision making and skill execution against Collingwood. He put in a good shift and a four-quarter performance.
20. Andrejs Everitt
Stats: 27 disposals, six marks, seven inside-50s, four clearances
From the coach: ‘Dre’ worked really hard up and down the ground. He set the tone with high-speed running and he found plenty of the ball playing between the arcs and up forward.
31. Jayden Foster
Stats: 18 disposals, four marks, nine handball receives
From the coach: Jayden continues to improve in one-on-one contests, and he was another defender that found plenty of the ball and used it well. He continues to work areas of his game that need improvement.
56. Andrew Gallucci
Stats: 11 disposals, seven handball receives, one goal
From the coach: It wasn’t the four-quarter impact that we were hoping for, but it was a much-improved second half. He kicked two important goals in the last quarter and offered good presence at ground level.
18. Daniel Gorringe
Stats: 11 disposals, five marks, one goal
From the coach: His second half was quite impressive after a slow start: he played on a wing at times and made Jesse White accountable, and he certainly got better as the game went on.
48. Kristian Jaksch
Stats: 11 disposals, four marks, four inside-50s, one goal
From the coach: There was some inconsistency from ‘KJ’ in competing in the air, but he had some pivotal moments where he marked the ball forward of centre. He had a much-improved second half and got some exposure at both ends of the ground.
27. Michael Jamison
From the coach: ‘Jamo’ started really well, with some brutal efforts in the contest to spoil in the air: we certainly missed his presence when he went off with concussion midway through the first quarter.
80. Matthew Korcheck
Stats: Four disposals, three marks, 14 hitouts
From the coach: He continues to learn the game and get valuable experience, while he took a couple of marks and had a shot on goal. He’ll grow in confidence as the games go on.
65. Dillon Viojo-Rainbow
Stats: 18 disposals (12 contested), six handball receives, one goal
From the coach: It was another solid game from Dillon where he played in a variety of roles and used the ball well. He got back to support in defence and got some exposure in the clinches as an inside midfielder in the second half.
36. Cameron Wood
Stats: 18 disposals, six marks, four inside-50s, six clearances, 34 hitouts
From the coach: It was a really good game from ‘Woody’, who set the tone with aggressiveness around stoppages and worked hard on spread to create another option in offence.
If the coach knows his business, Jamison (subject to concussion), Everitt and Viojo-Rainbow would be most likely to get a call up.
Unless it's just the coach pumping tyres up (and I doubt that it is), it's good to see improvement in the performances of new blokes and players who didn't seem tp make progress last season.

From reading that I get a strong sense that Fraser is making it very clear to players what they need to do to improve to the required level and earn a senior game. Very encouraging.

Better to fully evaluate them there rather than sticking them in the seniors before they're ready I guess? Sometimes we may have no choice due to injuries but best avoided. Some will improve and those that don't will go no doubt - all part of list building.

Been wondering this too. He's not listed on our injury list either. Is he playing VFL reserves or does he just not exist. :o

I was looking at it the other way - DVR really improving this year. Foster played his first half decent game. Dick showing very strong form. Jaksch kicking goals. Seem to be a few guys finally coming good.

Agree JEZA. It might be a bit frustrating that for some the improvement is slow, but better that than backwards! I really thought that for the first time I saw signs that Foster is improving on Saturday... it was really encouraging to see, especially his disposal - good stuff. Dick has probably been the most consistent of our boys playing for the NBs. Jaksch is still a little inconsistent for mine but good to see him at least working on second efforts.
What's encouraging is that you can really see the boys are all on the same page and when they're not lapsing, they actually put together some good footy. Hopefully the first qtr from Saturday is something they'll never repeat.

That's a bit more encouraging I guess .
Some of the reports on the guys read a bit similar every week from Fraser.

He's now shown on the latest injury list as Hip, 1 week away.
