I thought all of our kids are showing good signs in either firsts or reserves. Made me wonder why Austin and Agresta got the flick?

Williams handballs were like kicks and he also kicked big moment goals.
Ben has one string to his bow only and that's being a good extractor.
Maybe he can add being a tagger to his game if he can't impact offensively, I just think being an extractor only is a throwback to the past. Libba is about the only player I can think of who still plays that way...Tom Mitchell was probably the other until the speed of the game caught up with him..
I'm not confident he'll be on our list next year, he needs to show some point of difference to other's vying for similar positions.
So far we're not seeing it.
Lucas with his serious injury is probably more at risk because time is running out for him.
Williams handballs were like kicks and he also kicked big moment goals.
Speaking of Williams...he had about 500 more handballs than he did kicks over his career.
He averaged 12.5 kicks to 14.5 handballs
Ben C does similar...he's averaging around 11 kicks to 15 handballs.
Disposal accuracy is less of an issue when he's handballing as opposed to kicking.
He may be more of a weapon developing that area further in the short term.
We need to see him at senior level soon and the best opportunities are in the coming weeks.
Otherwise there may not be a 2027 for him.

I thought Lord did well and is unlucky to be out of the seniors imo, Ben Campos problem is his use of the footy and the depth in the seniors with regards his position. Not sure who is tutoring Ben but he needs someone like Greg Williams to put a bit of polish into his game and have the confidence to take his time a bit more, always looks rushed when taking his kicks and sprays them.
Interesting seeing Bowes and Worpel in the twos for Geelong, thought the former was very good and surprised he isnt in the seniors, didnt see much of Worpel... re: Riley.....I was happy with his game vs Stanley and he only needs opportunities to learn the game more quickly at the higher level.
