I only saw the second half (and I guess that the commentators had learned the players' names by then) but there was a lot to like.
Paddy Dow was outstanding, as you'd expect from a bloke who has been close to a regular in the firsts. Williamson was good, but he generally is. Motlop is going to be a player, as is Mirkov; they both showed very promising signs. Young was clearly the best defender on the ground but just needs to add some polish to his game. Kemp had a difficult evening but I think that it could be classed as character-building; his best is a class above VFL-level. Newnes must have done OK in the first half because he didn't do a lot in the second half. Finally, Glass-McCasker, who I liked when he was a rookie, showed that he is better and more versatile than your average VFL tall. Perhaps he'll get the last spot on our list.
You can see that the VFL side is trying to emulate Vossy's boys and they're not far off. I think we're going to have a pretty good season in the VFL this year.
