Watching the remainder of the game. The second quarter was pretty terrible, but the rest of the game was good for the youngsters.
[1] Setters had a good game, with 25 disposals, although he had 18 in the first half. His opponent was Mathieson, who got 4 goals. For that, Setters had a lot of tackles and leads the competition in that category.
I find it a hard game to judge as far as Setters went. I like that he has started making more tackles, but I still have real questions over his intensity.
Paddy Dow, on the other hand, I was quite pleased with. He did nothing much when we were on top early, but his last 3 quarters were solid and he was a part of a lot of clearances. His disposal worries me.
[2] In the second quarter Brisbane got well on top in the ruck, hence their scores. But other than that, we ruled in the ruck. Mirkov shows promise. Delany did a bit of ruck work. he is a nice kick, but he isn't quick. He can jump, though. Wooller did a lot of work and was a very solid player. If Wooller had a weapon, like extra height of extra pace, he would be a senior footballer. But at his height and pace he isn't going to make the impact or take the big pack marks. I like him as a footballer: he works himself hard. But he isn't a ruckman: too short and can't jump enough.
[3] Crocker was very good, and he did something few Carlton forward do well: he leads. He has had issues with chasing, and it is clear he moves faster towards the ball than after an opponent, but he did chase and tackle. He is a chance to get a promotion, as he is kicking better now than he did as a junior. He has an excellent pair of hands.
[4] I mentioned earlier how good the VFL guys were with their kicks in the first quarter. They made a liar out of me in the second quarter, but redeemed themselves later on. Honey made fewer mistakes as well and his kicking was excellent.
[5] Radovanovic appears to be a good pickup. he doesn't tend to panic. I like Parsons' game as well. if Parsons had that extra yard of pace, he would be worth considering for the seniors. But, alas, he isn't that quick and needs to be at his height. North is the same: if he was that bit quicker, he'd be a good pickup. He has a very nice left foot that goes the distance.
[6] I was a little disappointed in Ramsey this week. He didn't have the same impact as he did last week, although most of his possessions looked good. Owies was also not at his best, although I was pleased with his tackling. And one things about the kid, he does know where the goals are.
