Good that we won with so few AFL players available.
[1] The VFL boys stood up today.
Crocker had 23 disposals, 3 goals 4 as a key forward. He may not be AFL ready, because he does lack pace, but he is no slouch and we're better for having him.
Joel Trudgeon lacks pace too, but he had 27 possessions and 8 tackles.
David Handley, who is not looking as fit this year as he did last year, had 18 possessions and 5 tackles.
[2] The Carlton listed players were OK, but not special:
Setters had 23 disposals, 8 tackles and 8 clearances. That's pretty good.
Tom Williamson had 22 possessions and 6 tackles.
Sam Philp had 18 possessions and 4 clearances.
Jack martin had only 16 possessions, but 8 clearances.
[3] I'd like to see Brodie Kemp moved into the midfield, to see what he has. He has disappointed this year both as a defender and as a forward. he was a mid at U18 level.
[4] Boyd had an ordinary game. He won't be promoted next round.
[5] We had no Hayes and no Dow, yet we did well in the clearances and kicked 5 of the last 6 goals. But our total lack of height is very apparent.
[6] I would not be drafting Zavier Maher on 1st June. He does some really nice things, but he doesn't do enough.
