VFL 2021 Rd 1: Carlton vs Southport

[kruddler]

I was there. Stocker was the best listed player by some margin.
Cunners was good early, but drifted out of the game. Not that surprising considering how we were thrashed in the ruck.
We had a young kid, Alex Mirkov, as our only real ruckman. He has only been training for a couple of weeks and doesn't have the fitness yet. When he got the tap, and he got most of our taps, we got goals. He is very raw, coming from volleyball (?), but at 210 cm he had more than a little idea of what he was doing.
The only other ruckman on our VFL list, from memory, is Aaron Gundry, who has been struggling somewhat with injury in the last few weeks.

Mirkov sounds promising. How old is he? Worth a mid-season draft spot? 210 blocks who can jump are hard to find. We can teach him the rest.
