Lemmey looks a better player down back and maybe a chance to make a Key defender, won the ball well and used it ok for a big fella although his opponent from the WAFL who has a famous VFA name in Jimmy Miller had a decent game too. The other player who looks a class above most is Moir, dont reckon he will ever play too many four quarter games but everything he does is classy even when he tackles(laid a great one in the last quarter) and he knows where the goals are and plays with a bit of maturity.
Binns can hit a target and runs hard, but lacks a bit of physicality when tackling and also can hang back a bit when he needs to be attacking the ball. Cincotta was ok without being great and both Okeefe and Mirkov lowered their colours to the Port ruckman(Flockhart?) who was impressive.
Xavier Maher was BOG but for me remains a good VFL player only....

Calista got a fair bit of the ball but he and Miller were thumped in the ruck by O'Keeffe and Mirkov even if our midfielders couldn't capitalise.  But, a good ruckman needs to do more than just win the hitouts and our two need to improve their marking, linking up, positioning and being a presence around the ground.  Flockhart looked to have done his knee but came back on and picked up where he left off.  Miller did a good job of the key forward second ruck role.

I wonder if Lemmey is playing back while Sam Durdin is out (suspended?) or if it's the direction his career is now headed.  If he can play CHF with the same energy and application that he's showing at CHB, he could be a genuine key forward option.  Perhaps he's just one of the many key forwards who play better footy in defence.

We didn't have that many AFL listed players out there, but I think that Moir showed the most potential.  He works hard off the ball he will be rewarded for that.

Showing your age Jim😉🤐...yep Frosty Miller did play for the Blues and went on to be a star VFA player for Dandenong and has the goalkicking award in the VFL named after himself. Left footer from memory who kicked torps and along with his little leftie mate Pat Flaherty made my life as a Preston supporter miserable as a kid...

Id persist with Lemmey at CHB in the VFL.....and Id be looking to give Moir a senior game or two sooner than later as the sub initially. Lemmeys blonde mate down back in Lewis also played an ok game and looks a solid player.
Not sure Id be keeping Mirkov or OKeefe.....

Was a Dandenong support even though I lived in the Northern Suburbs near the Preston ground. They were the good old days, VFL on a Saturday and the VFA on Sundays.

I think the Mirkov experiment is coming to an end but O’Keeffe is worth persevering with.  His last VFL game was very good and he can pinch hit as a key forward.

I wouldn’t be rushing Moir into the seniors but I’m sure he’ll be demanding a game before the season’s out.  He did OK in the pre-season games and should adjust to the tempo without too many problems.  He has been a bit wasteful with his kicking for goal so let’s hope he gets his radar aligned.

Moir's first goal was like he was a natural left footer, and the next goal, like he was a natural right footer. His defensive game is coming along well, also. Obviously a focus. Reckon we might see him a little sooner than some may expect.
