As for the VFL listed players:
Sam Russell: I didn’t see a lot of Sam this week. He is the brother of former rookie Fraser Russell and hasn’t had the injury woes that made his brother retire. He often gets the small defender role and he is steady rather than spectacular. That was pretty much how he was yesterday; he didn’t make a lot of mistakes and he kept his opponents in check, but he didn’t get huge possessions either.
Cameron O’Shea: An excellent pick-up to this point. Unlike Russell, O’Shea does know when to zone off and get a kick, He has fit in nicely to the team and has added more pace and more stability to our defence (as has Alex Sivagni), Making his opponent be more accountable for him has worked pretty well for him so far.
Luke Russell: Like O’Shea, Russell has been a good acquisition so far. I don’t think he has played as well as O’Shea as yet, but his presence in the middle shows that having a few Carlton boys missing does not reduce the pace and effectiveness of our midfield.
Glenn Strachan: Strachan has been a survivor at the NB’s. Most of the guys who started with him since he transferred from Collingwood have gone, He will remain for a while yet, as his kicking and marking are good.
