Re: VFL 2017 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Collingwood

From what I've seen of Cuningham in the NBs, he doesn't lack opportunities but doesn't always make the most of the opportunities that are presented to him.
I'm not sure that VFL games are meaningless; developing a winning culture has to be embraced at all levels.
Totally agree with the latter.
But not so much the former, Cuningham has been given a couple of opportunities at senior level and has gone missing. The bottom line is that he should be creaming it at NBs level but looks like a good seconds player with flashes of pure class. For example I've not seen him show the desperation with body in the contest as Daisy did at this level, as does Palmer, Kerridge, Graham, Smedts and co. when playing at this level... even Boekhorst has improved his desperation in contests (pity about the disposal!)...
