VFL 2017: Rd 5: Northern Blues vs Casey

[crashlander]

Exactly crash. Really all about performance now.

Others in the same boat include - Armfield, Boekhorst, Jaksch, Jones, Kerridge, Graham, Buckley and rookies Gallucci and Sheehan. Talent is there, but another piece might be their bodies. If they can't get on the park each week, and perform, then that will also be taken into account IMO.

FWIW, I'm really liking Liam Jones form and output at the moment. Let's see how he goes for the remainder of the year, indeed the others listed above also.

Like you, I have been impressed with Jones. In 2015 I could not possibly considered writing that. He was an embarassment. Not now. He is very unlucky not to be n the side. In fact, last year or the year before, had he played like he has this season he would be among the 1st picked for the seniors.

I think this will be Armfield's last season. He appears to be headed towards coaching. I think he would be a good one.
Sheahan: if he can actually get through a few VFL games he'll be given a senior game. His kicking from defence and smarts will be tested at senior level.
