Cowan had a decent game.
O'Keeffe looks to have more potential than Lemmey, who looks very stiff in his movements.
Akuei has athletic ability (plus the skinniest calves in the AFL) but doesn't seem to have much football nous.
Honey doesn't do enough and, if he can't kick goals, he doesn't even rate a game in the VFL.
Fogarty has his limitations (especially in the pace and acceleration department) but I think he has more to offer than Dow - especially in the way he uses the ball and fights for it.

I like Lemmey's kicking though which was elite at U18 level but seemingly being dragged down to Carlton level as the weeks go by. He shows a bit in the ruck to suggest he could develop into that KF/relief ruck we crave. Also showed ability to swing back at U18 level. All in all plenty to work with. O'Keeffe I am not sold on. Akuei great athlete, great tryer but zero footy nous. Honey just goes missing far too much even at this level. Fog as you say is limited but surely deserves a shot at the firsts for consistent performance at 2s level.

H2 is 19, lets not forget that. He is beautiful kick of the footy and kicks it a long way. He and OKeefe are keepers for sure.

Surely Fog has to get a game next week, at least he tackles with intent.
Ed was picked to do a role, didn't even lay a tackle. Running around like a headless chook and endlessly fumbling is not AFL standard Epic fail in my book. That's the kind of rubbish effort that has left our club broken.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

EB...Jaiden Hunter was drafted out of Perth FC over here. Been on the list but missed nearly two years of footy with injuries. Started this year and played 3 reserves games and then kicked multiple goals in 3 league games including 5 in the win over South Fremantle a couple of weeks ago....he was plucked by Essendon 5 days later. He's a really likely type and reckon he'll take over from Weideman in the Essendon AFL side before the year is out.

Am I to presume Binns was held out as an emergency for the one's? If so what are his chances of a debut next week?
