Happy with the lads young Jack is a player.
Jaksch can do better than that
Graham was really good
Buckley was amongst it and gave more than Daisy
Charlie like Jaksch perhaps needed that game to blow out some cobwebs maybe.
Play Weitering forward and bring McGlasker in the team. Weitering is an elite talent in the Buddy Franklin mould.
Whooo there Pinot, bit over the top.
Weitering while a excellent player is no Buddy Franklin, but we haven't seen Weiters unload 60m+ goals yet and I know he can from watching his junior days. But he is 3 yards slower than Franklin and at the moment Weitering is 1/2 the strength.
Not sure Jaksch can do better than that, he delivered exactly what I expected from his VFL form. He doesn't work hard enough and that means the ball has to find him, he doesn't find the ball. Excluding injuries to others expect him out next week, Casboult in and maybe Jones in. AFL coaches will forgive most things except lack of work rate / effort.
Buckley was OK, not better or worse than Daisy, and didn't work nearly as hard as Daisy does. He needs to spend more time getting into opponents and less time winding up team-mates. Personally, I thought the Buckley/Armfield mix didn't work, Armfield was wasted and never got enough time to make his work ethic deliver.
Agree on Charlie Curnow, he looked rusty but got better as the day rolled on, should have been awarded for a great mark in front of McGovern.
JGM is not ready.
The form guy I think they should be promoting is Gowers and letting White be the swing-man. Having Gowers surrounded by the in-form Docherty, Plowman and Simpson makes it an ideal time to be blooding the kid.
PS: Is it ironic that our best forward was one of our defenders, sort of tells you something!
