Yes, Billy Gowers impressed me against the Box Hill Hawks. He wasn't quite as good yesterday but I think he has a future and is worth persevering with.
Glass-McCasker is another who was a bit down on his last game but was still among our better players. I recall that there was a question mark over his kicking when he was rookied but his disposal by foot is pretty good.
Apart from some glimpses from SOJ, the Carlton-listed players didn't really show a lot. Viojo-Rainbow did some good things and kicked goals, Buckley had a dip but needs to do a lot more, Jones took some nice marks but was missing for long periods, Jaksch was ordinary, Smith didn't enough, Dick was good, Sheehan showed a bit but had injury problems, Graham was OK but really should be dominating at that level and Wood was average.
Korcheck was too easily out-bodied by smaller opponents. Whoever is working with him needs to instil a desire to impose himself on opponents and the game generally.
Is Whiley injured? He was OK in the last game.
