Macreadie still give the impression that there is something to work with.
Cottrell didn't show much
Stocker has football skills but doesn't go out of his way to created defensive pressure
Cuningham = invisible man
Fasolo = waste of space
Owies might develop but ATM he only seems to play with intensity when he has a chance to score or set up a score
LeBois was one of our better players and did his share of tackling but should be showing more after 3 years
Lobbe isn't likely to improve
De Koning could develop into something special in a couple of years but not there yet
O’Dwyer looked lost
Polson doesn't seem to have anything special
Silvagni will play many more games in the VFL before he is ready but at least he seems to have talent
Garlett has AFL talent but doesn't put his body on the line and and seems to try for the spectacular instead of playing the team game
23rd man was a skinny kid named Quirk. I don't know if he is related to Bryan but this kid showed more endeavour than most of the listed players - got caught with the ball too often but A for effort.
re: Quirk, think he is the grandson of Brian, might be another younger brother too...
