The Campos are not deputies to our senior midfield yet based on what im watching. 

Lemmey doing well at taking contested marks.

In a follow up to what i asked you the other day....

Who ARE our deputies?

IMO, i think its a position of biggest need at the moment, along with genuine mid/HBF and mid/hff options.
if i had to pick any players to elevate based on today, pittonet, Evans and Darcy Hogg have been amongst the better players. 

Might explain why fantasia is getting a game.

That's not to say others aren't going to be good enough, but they aren't going to be setting the afl alight this year.

Lemmey a couple in junk time. Still, 4 goals are 4 goals.

Watching Lemmey makes me think we might be able to cover a tall trade.  I'd like some afl level data for that choice though.  He hasn't really had an opponent today.

Billy Wilson can't be that far away, especially given our need for speed.

Carlton : 18 - 14 - 122
Preston:  4 - 12 - 36
86 points will probably be our biggest for the year.
Jordan Boyd: 30 possessions, 9 marks & 3 tackles.
Billy Wilson:  27 possessions, 10 marks, 3 tackles.
Ben Camporeale: 24 possessions, 4 tackles, 1 clearance - not his biggest day.
Marc Pittonet: 20 possessions, 3 tackles, 41 taps and 10 clearances.

Boyd
Wilson
Pittonet
Lemmey
Ben Camporeale (20 possessions in the last three quarters)
even Frankie Evans

Then you look at the opposition and.... ::)  ::)

(We do need to see both Wilson and Lemmey for a couple of games at senior level before the end of the year)

Hogg was probably my best player, Lemmey did what he had to do vs undersized opposition and reminds me of Robert Dutton who was a blonde key position forward who did well in the reserves but was always overlooked for senior footy and only played one game from memory.
Wilson carries the ball ok and is a decent kick but Id be concerned about his contesting ability but you never know until you try players. Flynn Young kicked a couple of goals but also shanked a few kicks and doesnt do much in the defensive aspects of the game which might hold him back at senior level. He is purely a finisher and probably has to be a bit selfish and look to kick more goals to stand out. Evans shaded him today with three goals and is more active when he doesnt have the ball but again the opposition was minimal so I wouldnt be rushing to put Evans back in the senior team either.
Lucas Campo was hardly sighted and Ben had a few moments but didnt have a great game overall imo and his kicking is a real issue as he butchers a lot of kicks going forward. He played well last week and deserved a senior callup imo but todays effort wont be getting him any senior game time.
Pittonet won the ruck duels easily but didnt feature around the ground much and is playing that backup ruck role well but you wouldnt be picking him to share the ruck duties with TDK anytime soon.

Can you be a beautiful  mover on the football field and still have little impact-Ashton Moir.
Moir was one who I was really hoping (and somewhat expecting) to really step up this year. I was thinking maybe 10 games for the year. Not looking too promising at this stage.

Evans 15 possessions and 3 goals.

Wilson is probably close to earning a game, and they seem to be working on him as a HBF
I'd like to see him given a try.
A word of caution though, while he has 25 possessions half way through the last (and Boyd has 28) a lot of those are passes between the two of them.

A lot of Boyd's are kick ins ... but he still played a pretty good game!
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

I do wish it was against someone other than our old friends the Bullants.
