McMahon wont be with our VFL team in the second half of the season imo, think he will be snapped up in the mid season draft.
He has areas of improvement he needs to work on but kicking straight and long for goal isnt one of them and I can see a few teams wanting that conversion ability.
Not sure if it’s my eyes but I’m thinking he marks ok 1 on 1, not sure if he’ll get much of that in AFL.

@DJC I didn't see the game, were we just being cautious given how fatigued TDK looked?

Pitto copped a knee to the ribs and there was some discussion about whether he was taken off because he was restricted or to ensure that he was available for Friday night.  Either way, Lemmey came into the game when Pitto went off.

Pitto returned to the field and competed strongly in a contest before leaving and not returning, was he sore or did he show that he was ok and was put in cottonwool because TDK may also be sore…?

Apparently Matt Carroll was withdrawn from the game because he may be required for the Firsts next Friday.  If true, that seems a little odd to me.

Doc was a class above the opposition but he had plenty of time to choose the best option and generally executed well.  I don’t think that he’s played his last AFL game but that’s got more to do with our injury trends than his form.

Not odd. He was probably dropped in part because he needed a rest after being thrown in the deep end with what was probably a limited pre-season.
Rather than waste some time/energy playing in the 2's, he'll get slotted back to the 1's next week probably taking Cowans spot which needs to be covered.

TBH, thats about as smart as a decision as our collective MC has made in a long long time.

Tend to agree.
The last thing we needed was for Carroll to get injured in the VFL.

I think our senior listed guys are improving.
Ben & Lucas impressed though Lucas gives his kicks too much air.
Wilson was much improved, especially early.
Lemmey and Monaghan did some good things too.
McMahon and Philips stood up.
Duffy had a couple of good moments, particularly a spoil in the last Q.
