I'd agree with this comment. He is an inside mid and not much else and we weren't really killing Geelong at the clearances.I think he should have had more midfield time whilst Beams and Treloar should have rested up forward more.
I agree with Beams but while Treloar's ball use and fumbles were horrific, we needed his energy around the stoppages. The others seemed to be just waiting back for things to happen.I think he should have had more midfield time whilst Beams and Treloar should have rested up forward more.
At 20 years of age and 39 games, I still think that is too small a sample size at AFL level to determine how good the boy is. I predict the next year or two he will really come along at AFL level, cherry ripe if you like.Really depends who is not playing if Callum is in.
Sier, Greenwood for me are both far superior to what we’ve seen thus far from Callum.
Whilst different he reminds me of Paul Tuddenham. Looks fine in lesser grade but in seniors seems a peg or two below the grade to be a permanent fixture in the team.
I wouldn’t have Treloar rest there as much as Beams but just more than what he did.I agree with Beams but while Treloar's ball use and fumbles were horrific, we needed his energy around the stoppages. The others seemed to be just waiting back for things to happen.

Some of the stuff he did last night was really good both in traffic and that crumb and goal. We just need to see more of it.
Already averages similar disposals per game as Mayne and Greenwood have the past couple of years. With similar opportunity this year Callum will move past both of them.
Sorry my bad.Are you talking about Callum?
He's only played 14 games
I hope so, but not on that performance last night. It’s back to the VFL I’d say, though I agree with those who say he should have had more inside minutes. Bucks relies too much on the old guard in the centre. Especially when things get tight. Adams back will help though.
It was a great snap and good positioning to be at Cox’s feet. Equally good was Cox perfectly palming the footy down to him.Some of the stuff he did last night was really good both in traffic and that crumb and goal. We just need to see more of it.
He just looks so balanced and good when over ground balls in congestion. Hes going to become very difficult to shift off a ground ball. I reckon he'll become a ripper.At 20 years of age and 39 games, I still think that is too small a sample size at AFL level to determine how good the boy is.

64% game time is really tough on him last night IMO.
I get the coaching staff wanted to back in our “star studded midfield (sic)” but what people forget is 64% was f all time on the ground and he did put us in front in the last.
The players that the coaches backed in failed in the centre......find another scapegoat people for that pathetic game.
And youth.Maybe that's a result of his fitness?
Actually Maggie, he was easily our worst along with Varcoe.Far from the worst and not his fault we lost.
Varcoe ran harder than anyone. At the ground it was obvious. The mids did not move the ball fast enough.Actually Maggie, he was easily our worst along with Varcoe.
The goal in the last qtr allowed him to save face a bit but he was terrible.
A midfielder and he only managed 9 possessions.
His effort and intensity were definitely there, just didn't seem to have much of an influence.Varcoe ran harder than anyone. At the ground it was obvious. The mids did not move the ball fast enough.
I can tell you mate there were multiple times in the game when he was clear. He also hits bloody hard.His effort and intensity were definitely there, just didn't seem to have much of an influence.
Watching on TV we obviously don't get to see the bigger picture that those like you at the match do.
Maybe that's a result of his fitness?
I would like to see this more often. Not fit enough for extended time but could work on the burstOr maybe it isn’t?
Why did Bucks roll the dice with De Goey in the centre in the last?
He definitely wasn’t match hardened Kappa.
Actually I didn't mind Varcoe's game.Actually Maggie, he was easily our worst along with Varcoe.

Absolutely agree with you regarding our top level players. They were pathetic.Actually I didn't mind Varcoe's game.
The bottom line for me was that our top level players didn't stand up. They are the ones that bring others in.
