Brain looks like he could play midfield as well
Jimmy Tunstill gets a lot of the ball at VFL level but he never seems to stand out with weapons.
Kalin Lane has looked pretty good the last 2 weeks.

Well, that went from grouse to shouse in record time.

71 pts to the Suns in the first half makes it hard to win.

Searching for positives - Ryan showing some skill handling the ball below his knees. Also seems to be covering the ground well.
Hard to know with Lyons. Working his a*** off. Clearly our best but we are being killed for pace on the outside. Not all his fault of course.

See you on the 9th green at 9
That is my concern with Jimmy. I'm not sure what his strengths are. It looks like his attributes should be disposal rather than speed/breaking lines - but his disposal has left a bit to be desired. I've no doubt he has the capacity to massively improve though which is a good thing. And not even 21 yet!

I think it’s pretty clear in the reserves we look to get the ball in Lyons hands as often as possible inflating his stats. Doesn’t get the same help in the seniors
As others have said Harry Sharp and Bruce Reville out is having a massive impact on this, we just can not cover their absence.
How many of the VFL top ups can train regularly with our team?
According to the QAFL board, QAFL clubs only get notified on a thursday evening when we're calling up players for the reserves.
So fair chance a few of the top ups get their role explained to them on the morning of the game, and may not have trained with the team at all during the week.
Agreed - no point getting worked up about it, it is what it is. There are only so many players on the list and expecting top-ups to perform to the standard of a listed player is unrealistic.

I agree to a certain extent. I think his work rate has been better this week, in that he has been finding a lot of his own ball on the inside.
That was always the knock on him. Likened himself to Cerra in his draft year, but doesn't have the same quality of disposal. Sometimes he knows what the kick is to open up the game, but is not capable of executing the kick, and turns it over.
Yep, it is all about the AFL team, as long as we are developing players for senior footy all is OK, evidence is pretty good that we have players developing well in the reserves eg. Sharp/Reville/Brain/Morris, also can not expect the whole list to be potential AFL regulars, history and percentages make that obvious.
VFL Premierships are well below development re reserves goals.

Do the Suns operate under similar conditions?
This could really blow out
This game is over, Suns way too good, could end up being a percentage booster for them.
Prior seems to have stagnated if not regressed unfortunately.
The difference between their forward line and ours is particularly stark.

They are all over us, damn...
For context, last week GC only just beat Port Melbourne, who yesterday struggled to beat Preston.
Jaxon OOC this year, think his AFL journey could be over.
No.
They have an extended rookie list. Have far fewer listed VFL reserves, as they rotate their academy and NT kids through their reserves.
Plus, they're not so top heavy with KPP's.

Why the heck is Budarick on Day and Moyle?
