Reconstruction last year.

I've seen it so many times before. Guys don't have to kick 30 goals a game at VFL level to be able to step up. Garlett and Yarran could never get a kick at VFL level yet they could pick up their form at AFL level.

You can see KJ is doing more than enough to get selected in our barren wasteland of a forward line.

Silvagni - not saying he has to get picked this week but he's certainly not too small.

Maybe go have a look at the magoos rather than making selections off edited highlights.

Stats from the game:

17 possessions to Foster was a serious improvement over what he has been producing recently.
9 possessions to both Gorringe and Everitt bodes poorly for their futures. Everitt won't be getting back into the seniors with performances like that. Smith also had 9, but he does chase and tackle. Hard. I don't think he is doing enough, but he does try this year.

Tom Wilson just rocks up each season and gives his best, even when we get beat  he is always in our best...27 possies with 5 tackles, come along way from the little kid I saw playing basketball at Nunawading..
Be great to see him get rookied but he maybe doesnt have enough tricks at senior level..could be our Caleb Daniel?
Matthew Dick must be getting close..another 26 possies....

I like Willo's effort and production but we failed to rookie Lambert or Marcon - both of whom had shown much more than Willo.

Haw did DVR look? He struggled last year but seems to be putting in some very consistent performances. Uses the ball well which will suit Bolton and I feel he could slot back in the AFL side with some good payers around him.

I am not a Tuohy Fan and see him as his replacement (or Simmo's).

2E is right off the boil this year.....perhaps he's a winger/HFF or nothing at all.

I've never been a Tuohy Fan. gets out positioned too easily, cannot read the play all that well and fumbles to many times.

Coaches rated him last year and he would be at the top of my list as trade Value. I reckon you could sneak into a late first round/early second round for him and would easily be replaced.

Still has a fair way to go but has possibly edged ahead of Clem Smith in the pecking order.

I don't believe he has earned promotion so if that is the main criterion, he might be waiting for a while yet.
