Jack looked a little uncertain at times which is understandable in your first game but he does seem to know what he's doing. 15 possies 6 marks and 4 tackles. Really should have had 2 goals as well. With him and Charlie and Harry our fwd line looks like it will get better. That lets us move out underperformers like Everitt and Walker and maybe Casboult, none of whom seem to be able to get enough of the ball on a regular basis. Lamb and Sumner can fight it out for the other small fwd spot. A bit of competition between them wont hurt. Also need a really lively goal sneak who can make a goal out of nothing. I'm not going to dwell on how we lost Eddie, we don't have a time machine, but he is the sort of player that would round that fwd line out.
The back 6 looks fairly settled although it is a real shame about Byrne.
We need more toigh and hard running quality on the ball.
A bit more time into the young talent, a couple of good mids, and a quality small fwd and i think we'll have the core of a competitive side. A little bit of skill and luck required at draft and trade time and we might become a finals side in the next couple of years. But for now we know where we are at. I can see some promising green shoots and that was always what this year was about.
