The not so good:

[1] Lewis Young: after getting leather poisoning, 13 possessions in the 1st quarter, he went off injured. The way he was playing ... Don't want to go there. Hope he isn't done for the year.

[2] Flynn Young: 5 possessions, backing up after last night. Considering that he kicked the first goal, it was a very disappointing effort.

[3] Harry Lemmey: 10 disposals, but kicked 2 goals.2 clearances and 3 tackles, and 1 tap. Considering our kicking, I guess we can't complain, but I was hoping for more. We were an extremely short team today and needed our couple of talls to stand up. At least Lemmey kicked 2 goals. Cox (Coll) only kicked one, and that was from a really dodgy free. he just dropped to the ground like something dead and the umpire fell for it.

Lewis Young was just an ankle in the end.

He looked great in there. So many clearances.

Question is, the way things are, does he want to play in the seniors....hahaha.

Maybe the question should be....do we want him to play in the seniors.
Of course the answer is, "yes"...we need to be exposing them to senior time.
Not sure about Brisbane but definitely Melbourne.

But there's a part of me that would like to keep these young guys playing together for the rest of the year and developing a bit of a connection and understanding.
It won't happen, but there's a bit of spirit there that seems to be lacking in the senior side.




Was just saying that to someone else. Right now, more than.happy to.keep.them playing together.

DGB kicked abysmally but has something.
Reilly needs some gym time but is worth getting games into.
Monaghans best game.
Campos are building.

Great perseverance from the team tonight, I can only hope it’s contagious.
Binns comments when asked about Voss’s spray last week were encouraging.

Great wins by the VFL boys and the VFL girls. 2 out of 3.
Indeed, 2 out of three, and two damned close ones that we stole. May it happen every time we play Collingwood: we owe these maggots a hell of a lot of pain!

Carlton: 12 - 11 - 83
Meat Pies: 11 - 13 - 79

We turned the clearances around totally: 40 to 24! That is a huge change over the first half.
We had so much more of the ball: 400 possessions to 327, but don't use it well. I wonder where we've heard that before.
At least the youngsters have a bit of ticker!

Jaxon Binns: 28 possessions, 2 clearances, 3 tackles and a goal: a much improved effort. But, he still makes it hard for his team mates with his kicking.
Will Hayes: 26 possessions, 6 clearances, 4 tackles and a goal. We miss him when he doesn't play.
Ben Camporeale: 26 possessions, 8 clearances and 4 tackles. Ben seems to play better in the 2nd half of games. he often starts slowly, but come home with a wet sail. His brother tends to do the opposite.
Lucas Camporeale: 24 possessions, 2 clearances and 4 tackles.

We lost the taps, but really came home with the clearances.
