The number 1 thing you forgot is Frasher can't coach we play to much like our senior side did under boltsToday has taught me:
- Schumacher has finally twigged on the intensity level required to play AFL football, but he's not good enough to execute it consistently, so he should not get another contract
- Polson is starting to twig once again, but he needs to find better ways to conserve his energy and manage his mindset in games
- Macreadie is on a thin ice for similar reasons to the other two, but he's had a fair slog of it over the last 2 years with setbacks
- Fasolo is done, but at least he's learnt a lot about himself in his time at the club
- Stocker's acceleration is just starting to show itself at this level
- Fisher has been more impressive with time on these faster tracks, but faded badly as the game wore on
- Kennedy looks like he's running in glue, and it's a huge problem given he cannot outbody most of his AFL-grade opponents at stoppages, as shown today... a contested mid should not be having a 20 kick match because they've probably got an arm on them for more than half of them
- Dow is handling his form slump manfully, and will hopefully use the off-season and pre-season to reset himself a bit after a season that tactically put him through the ringer
- Cottrell is taking advantage of everyone's fitness levels tailing at this point of the season, but Fraser Turner is just a much more exciting footballer to me, and was within our grasp
- De Koning is an elite junior CHF we're trying to transform into a ruckman, and it's horrible to watch
- Owies, Finbar and BSOS are trying to finish off the season strongly, and it's nice to see
- Phillips and Lobbe don't drop their heads readily, but they are surely done
- Hill, Stavrou and Strachan need to go, our VFL contingent just lacks so much professionalism in retaining and supporting such players
