I am disappointed that neither of the Irish boys came up again. Nor did Hendo or Walker. And I am very disappointed that Kreuzer didn't come up.

Here's hoping that Foster can start to emerge as a genuine FF

Imagine Foster ends up a gun the Doggies will be spewing! A bit like the Pies and Stewart for GWS.

I wouldn't give up on Jaksch ending up as a very good tall forward for us...

With Warnock having played last night and Kreuzer missing (again!), our ruck stocks are looking pretty thin. Not sure what we can do about that at this time, but it does not bode well.

Northern Blues 9 - 14 - 68
Essendon 11 - 10 - 76
We couldn't hold on after having a 4 goal lead near half time. Very disappointing.

Goals: Gowers 2, Johnson 2, Watson, Wilson, Walsh, Wilkinson, Ellard.

DISPOSALS: Graham 21, McGuinness 20, Whiley 16, Walsh 16, Boekhorst 13
This was at 3/4 time. Final stats haven't come through as yet.
One thing it does prove is that Nick Graham can get the pill.

Just reading through the comments for the last half, it looks like their 3 ruckman had a significant role. But we can only play what we have available. Still heartbreaking.

It looks like our better ball getters had a pretty quiet last term between them. Doesn't help that they didn't have a big man to help them out. (I know I harp on about this, but if I state it often enough, someone at Carlton might even pay attention!)

Pity McGuiness isn't a rookie, otherwise he'd seriously be looked at for a game at the higher level.

This is actually he 'retirement gig'. He came over to be an assistant coach as much as anything. That he is a wise head among a young group is a bonus.

ex Footscray player who went to the SANFL and became a good player for Norwood......bit undersized for KP and relies on being a wiley old fox on the field.
Plenty of courage but lacks pace and would struggle at senior level, as Crash said has come here to retire and pursue a assistant type role coaching career....
There a couple of backman in the SANFL who could be looked at but I reckon the Boekhorst experiment might have subdued interest in the state leagues for senior spots and these type
of players would be rookied....

Did Laverde play today? If so, did he rip Boekhurst a new one on the wing?

Laverde did play, but he doesn't appear to have been that good. Boekhorst got 17 possessions, but that is just so so.
