I thought both Chatfield and Kellet (57?) were very good.

I didn't watch today's game but Chatfield has been very solid for Footscray all year, definitely become a main stay for a bloke that was in and out of the side last year. Yep, Kellett is #57. Also just a lazy 38 disposals from Sullivan, he'll have a good crack at the league best and fairest this year.

I think so but as an in and under. He doesn't have the zip he used to.

I’d love to be wrong but I don’t think he has the size to develop into an AFL standard in and under.
He’s lost his point of difference which was his agility and leap. Unless it comes back, it will be hard for him to find a role in the seniors.

TBH I'd rather have Sullivan on the list than Toby McLean, or McComb or McNeil for that matter. He outshines them week after week at VFL level.

No one can replace Libba but I can see Sullivan being a good backup if he was to get injured. Further, he may well be good enough to play as an AFL midfielder in his own right. He'll be 26 next month but compared to some of the other players who we have rookied in the past, he stands head and shoulders above them. If he wins the JJ Liston Trophy he may not last to the rookie draft. What have we got to lose?

Dominant third quarter yesterday. I felt the strength of our Footscray depth took control more-so than our actual AFL-listed players.

Clarke was more involved but still looks a fair way off AFL at this point. Cleary was disappointing with a few errors when North had the ball forward. Buku, Baker and Sweet were all decent but not knocking the door down for selection

I think Clarke will develop into a goal assist player like grymers, had some nice touches yesterday

Every time Gilbee plays they think that he is Lindsey's son and not his nephew.

Sweet is absolutely annihilating these AFL ruckmen today, really hope he gets a shot somewhere at AFL level, won’t be a star but I could see him having a really solid career somewhere and being a bloody good centre square ruckman.

Obviously prefer he stays as depth for us but think it’s unlikely
