Whoever assembled this VFL list should be genuinely embarrassed.

Small, slow outside players who can’t kick

TBF, we're missing most of our top VFL players. No Younan, Harrold, Dunkley, McLarty, Tynan and Baker (who has apparently left).

It's 50/50

I was fully expecting most of our latest draft pick to nuture thier way through the seconds this year. Think of Perko, Reid, Cox all at seconds level.

Injuries and chances, so off they go into the ones. You then ar ebehind the eight ball trying to fill gaps with suburban players just not up to standard. Like country cricket - for the 3 champs you have in your team, you're also compensating for the battlers in the same side.

This is pretty much our seconds right now.

Maybe I’m being harsh, but the contingent of VFL players are absolute dross and the same kind of dross, none look either draftable or developable or up to VFL standard, none looks like immediate impact players and none of it compliments what is on the AFL list.

Baker had it 30 times for GWS yesterday, definitely gone

Ah, fair enough. Still, we're missing plenty.

Durham really the only one doing anything so far of our AFL listers. McBride has nice hands, Reid looks like he can read the play well (pun not inteded) but he's turned it over a bit. O'Kearney is probably leading the BnF right now

It’s disappointing to see Bryan being used as the 2nd ruck. He should be given every opportunity to develop.

He should be developed in both positions IMO. He's still spending a decent amount of time in the ruck.

McBride with 3.

Callow looks like a flog, happy we don't have him
 
Ooof McBride you had so much more time.
 
Gleeson, Phillips and O'Kearney have really lifted this quarter. Just haven't put it on the scorebard.

Our match fitness is shocking for a team with supposedly 10 AFL listed players on the field at the moment.
 
Big thing that quarter is that we didn't really let them out the back and we were more composed coming out of defence. Phillips also huge with 3 or 4 contested marks was important.

Look at the names rather than the number.

Gleeson
Phillips
Durham
Reid
Brand
Hird
McBride
Bryan
Johnson
Eyre


Only two senior players on that list. We know that most of these blokes are still going to be working on match fitness, the fact they haven't played in about a month hasn't helped.
