Good VFL side the Doggies , see why they are undefeated . Buku Khamis is a real talent, to good for VFL.

Excellent games from
McAullife - easily our best player
Bauer- Definitely a better option than a number of our tall defender playing AFL or as a forward. Just launches at every marking contest and is an excellent kick
Tresize, was rock solid down back. Excellent contested player in the air and at ground level. Won’t be available unfortunately due to concussion protocol
Coulthard, everything he did was classy, just needs to get it a bit more
Ryan was ok and smith solid
 
Kmac played a big third quarter, but the reality is he’s not going to it take to the next level anymore.

Only promotions would be KMac2
and Bauer should also walk into the side
Trezise would’ve been a definite, but will miss bc of concussion.
I’m not sure if Coulthard, Smith and Green did enough.
Ryan was good in the ruck, but really limited around the ground.

Koschitzke - battled on after rolling an ankle and was noticeably hampered by it. Still finished with 2.2 for the day, but has to be questionable for next weekend.

Naismith - spent the first 3 quarters up forward while Samson rucked, went into the ruck in the last and was beaten by Lobb.

Coulthard - quieter day than previous weeks, had his moments though where he did something special, including a lovely snap in the 2nd quarter. Not sure he gets elevated off that game.

McAuliffe - pretty strong for 3 quarters and ran out of legs in the last in what has a hard contested game for him. Got his hands on plenty of footy at the clearance and was defensively strong. Finished with 2 goals as well to put his name in the mix for next week.

Ryan - rucked the first 3 quarters before being sent forward in the last as he tired. Had the most hitouts on the day with 43 in a good battle with Smith and Lobb. Hasn't done his chances of a call up any harm.

McIntosh - quiet first half before being shifted into the centre square after half time. Had 15 disposals & 6 clearances in the 2nd half, could very well find himself back in the seniors due to injuries.

Trezise - was strong again as an interceptor inside D50. Constantly won possession back for us and used the ball very well coming out of the back half. Unfortunately hurt his neck/possible concussion early in the last quarter due to an awkward landing. Hopefully it's nothing too serious and he only misses a week at most.

Bauer - like Trezise was strong in the back half winning the ball back with good work in the air. Ball usage helped set up counter attack opportunities. Was pulled in the last quarter as he was on managed minutes as he played his first game for the season. Will be better for the run no doubt.

Green - not a big day possession wise, but laid 10 tackles which will surely please the coaches. Will be in the discussion for a debut having been close the last few weeks.

Smith - didn't play the type of game he had been playing this year, but was still solid enough. Has probably been our most consistent AFL listed players at VFL level this year and will get an opportunity eventually at the next level.

Davidson - picked a good time to put in an eye catching performance with the MSD 2 weeks away. Would be a real smokey selection, but Morris has raved about his running ability and he certainly would have garnered some attention with his blond hair and ability to fly for his grabs.
 
Tresize, McAullife, Bauer all showed good signs.

Bauer is too undersized for a 1 or 2 KPD/KPF but would be quite a handy 3rd tall at either end in the AFL. Strong mark and good kick, reads it well in the air.

Tresize also very good at this level, can see why they played him in the AFL earlier same as Bauer, he's only a 3rd tall / Vlastuin medium sized defender type.

McAullife deserves another shot soon too. Would play him ahead of Dow for a spell atm for a few games.
