Rowe was probably the best of the AFL listed players, in conditions not suiting talls, Phillips likewise. De Koning rucked against Preust and did OK, has plenty of aerobic capacity but lacks strength and weight.
I thought Shaw was OK today as a rookie, Kerridge got to a lot of contests, but didn't do much in conditions that should suit his body type.
Kerr was quiet after a great first quarter.
McKay didn't do much at all early, was a little better later, but for a guy with his unique size and mobility he was ordinary at ground level, almost non-competitive compared to Phillips and De Koning.
Polson got plenty of football but keeps getting pegged not taking the first option, he'll be the Murphy replacement but it won't go down very well.
