Agree with you on Graham.  Agree mostly in regard to Boekhurst, though he did try and get in the game.  And Polson, I think, should be playing instead of Thomas based on that performance.

I though Fisher played better than you did.  And I really liked Sheehan's game.  He was out muscled by Lisle at one point but overall he was our best defender by far.  Again could play seniors - offers more than a White.

Totally agree, I thought EB1 was too slow, especially in the 3rd  Sorry Mondy, couldn't resist.

Seriously though, reckon you're on the money with Boekhorst, you couldn't knock his effort, he really did do his best to get into the game. And also agree re Gus, he was our best defender and looks the goods... the bloke who out marked him in the last is also about 3 metres taller so we won't blame Gussy for that one. Fisher is coming along nicely. Polson, yep.

Glad others got to see the Cuningham conundrum. The bloke is all class, but only for guest appearances. Does some really good things then goes missing for extended periods. And he's been that way since he arrived...

Graham is a very good seconds player 

I was slowed down as usual by having to carry half the team...... especially Graham and Boekhorst.....

Left at 3/4 time but thought Cunningham was very good especially in first half.  Found a lot of the ball and used it well and also competed hard. Has so much pace wish he would use it more.

Polson and Fisher show a bit and so did Harry but agree it will take him a while . Did not think Graham was as bad as some others do.

jaksch is a complete spud.  Would have to be really desperate to give him a game in the seniors........

He's gone 4, 3, 1, 3 and 2 goals so far this year through the practice matches series and today. No reason not to play him. Tough days for forwards at our end of the ground in the conditions.

Numbers are one thing, watching the bloke play is another. Clearly not up to it.

Exactly. One-dimensional. Yes, runs in straight lines well and can take a grab... the end. He'll be handy for the NBs though, along with Jones.

Gussy Sheehan will play senior footy this year, if he stays fit. He has the right attitude and strength. Injuries probably have hurt his pace: he was quicker than Tuohy.
The one we miss is the other Irishman, Ciaran Byrne. He has the PACE and the willingness to RUN out of defence. But it will be next year before he is really back to what we need.

Something of a disappointment, considering the number of Carlton listed players available. I cannot gainsay the above comments: they saw the game and I didn't. However, it is the first time for the season that we have played this poorly. Even in our loss to Richmond a few weeks back there were good signs.
