Thanks to those watching and sharing thoughts.

Marchbank needs a few games in the ressies.. has barely played any footy all year and had a badly interrupted pre season. I want him back in the seniors but with form, touch & confidence.

Looks like Binns Carroll & Fantasia are stuck in the awkward “too good for VFL, not quite at the level for AFL” position.

Expected Cunningham to rack it up in the ressies. Disappointed to hear he hasn’t. I’d keep him there until he does.
Both Cuningham and Marchbank have had it 14 times. You wouldn't be too disappointed with that from a key defender or half forward.
 
They’re definitely managing players. Sam Durdin has barely been sighted. Neither has Cuners.

Casey win by three points.

So, if I’ve worked it out. Moir rested the third quarter and then replaced Cuners.

Durdin rested the last quarter.

Or they’re injured. But I don’t think so. It looked like player management because we had many of the same players.

Binns had 42 possessions. I said he’d rack up 40.

He deserves a game even if it’s as the sub.

How does an umpire wait and wait to blow his whistle for holding the ball. Then change his mind and give them a high free kick. Umpiring looked worse than last night. Complete bias one direction. 14-25 free kicks in favour of the team that had as many tackles as us.

Oh, the umpiring was rank.

But — we’re clearly using the VFL to manage our young kids and AFL blokes. If we were serious, Cuners (assuming he’s not injured) would have been in the guts in the last.

Marchbank played the full game. But Durdin didn’t (we were clearly too tall down back).

Or I’m wrong.

Orazio got plenty of the pill, but often his ball use was poor. No composure at all.

Carroll was good. But he’s depth at the moment.

Wilson will be a player. Can take his time in the reserves.

Moir needs a year in the AFL system. Has the silk but can’t get near the ball.

Binns had leather poisoning. Coughed it up a couple of times, but you will when you have 42 possessions.

Cuners showed silk, but he’s out of form.

Marchbank got better as the game went on. But needs another run in the reserves.

Young. I mean… he’s depth at best.

Akuei and Mirkov - both had their moments. But… it ain’t happening. Having said that, was Mirkov’s best game since coming back.

Monahan shows glimpses. Interesting to see how much he improves over a year.

O’Keefe much better game than last week.

Lemmey - he’s an enigma. Very much not ready yet. But you can sort of see what he could become.

Sam Durdin - wasn’t sighted in the second half. Might have been injured. Or the player management I mention above.

Thanks Mondy,

I glad to her Fantasia got some of the ball, he needs a few games to get his touch back and build some confidence.

Cuners should also spend a few weeks building some belief in his body.
