Weitering has gone backwards also. Interesting that he has started to look much better over the last couple of weeks and I'd say is nearly back to Weitering of old, seems to preform better when he's the main gun down back.
OBrien is lacking any real influence on games at this stage. Is just a kid and has improved on what we first saw, right attitude and has a high football iq will be outstanding in years to come and if you can't see that ....
McKay is showing potential, but is lucky to touch the ball a handful of times in 2 hours of football. Is very young and is developing, needs a few more years to really match it with key defenders, but again took 8 marks on the weekend.
Cunningham has plenty of question marks on him. Has some question marks on him but the best of him is what we are lacking, straight line attacking player with pace and a willingness to get his own ball
Jack has just been moved to his 3rd (of 3) part of the ground in an attempt to find him a role. How many 4th round picks make it?
Kerr is having very limited influence on games How many 4th round picks make it
Polsen is far from convincing and lucky to get a contract extension. Played his best game against Hawthorn and may have needed that block of games to gain confidence, is fast, tough (knocked out and still played on) and a very willing tackler, under 10 games.
Macreadie and Williamson have question marks on their body. This is laughable - Williamson is still growing much the same as Harry did in his first season and was doing weights putting pressure on his spine. 15 games in his first year and a hot spot on his back so the club did the right thing and shut him down. Macreadie again was young and possibly still growing while doing weights and has been having hamstring problems which again are connected to the back and if still growing will create problems.
DeKoning and Schumacher haven't fired a shot yet. Schumacher was BOG in the 2s and in his first year DeKoning is a big man playing behind other young bigs.
How you could write anyone off yet, or even suggest it is beyond me. That being said I hold fears ATM for Jack and Kerr and would think that if they weren't who they are they wouldn't have played half the amount of games they had.
Fisher and Curnowfides, definite hits.
Dow is looking good without looking great.
I'd lock in 3 out of 15 at this stage.
The other 12 will most likely give us some players, but i guarantee some of them will be a bust.
