Alex Pearce

A Grade:
Plays 20+ games
Makes the AFL best 22 under 22 team.
Makes us say 'Macca who?'

B Grade:
Plays 20+ games
Makes us say 'Dawson who?'

C Grade:
Plays between 10 games-20 games?
Makes us say 'Silvagni who?'

D Grade:
Barely cracks into the squad
I think he was tracking for an A grade season. Would have certainly made the under 22 squad.

If it wasn't for him breaking his leg I doubt Collins would have got the opportunity to show us what he's got. So a sliver lining at least.
 
Michael Walters

A Grade - > 20 games; > 50 goals; Plays Finals; Top 3 in B&F, Leadership Group.
B Grade - > 15 games; > 30 goals; Plays Finals; Top 9 in B&F
C Grade - > 10 games; > 15 goals;
D Grade - Season cruelled by injury. Doesn't figure or impact in-season or finals.

B to date. Behind Lachie in the Doig but up there. Averaging just under 2 goals a game. Spending periods in the midfield giving rise to more disposals, meters gained and inside 50's. On the negative side, like many others his turnovers are up.
 
Oops I forgot to make my buddy expectations but safe to say he wouldn't have made it this year anyway :(

It's interesting reading back on them based on how unexpected our year's turned out to be. Young kids going a-grade and senior players not even making d's.
