no details as far as im aware on the extent of young's hamstring injury. but it is great to see the vfl team winning. our senior players are probably the difference and hudson in the ruck is dominating like you'd expect. the younger guys are working hard though and doing well. thomas and mooney have been really good. paine has taken a few marks ben richmond has provided an option up forward too. i'm not liking how we're over possessing the ball at times and are sloppy with possession.

Dids Watch:
Dropped right off. Not a factor, though he was involved in one or two passages of play in that qtr. Will likely go up on the blocks for the final term.

Daisy Watch:
Subdued for the first 15 mins or so, then ended up sucking in the deep ones as he ran, got into position, intercepted kicks, set up chains of play, bustled in at the centre. Getting very close to the seniors again.

Krak Watch:
MIA that quarter, needs another couple of weeks for mine.

Dasher Watch:
Tapping says it's his quad...

Faz Watch:
Better that term. Became more of a link-up player. Had one beautiful pass that found Witts and set up a goal. Needs a few more runs in the VFL before he comes back into the frame.

Beard Watch:
Scaled back a bit, let Witts do more of the rucking. Still a beast, though, and covering the ground quite well, dropping back into defense to help out. An inspired pick-up!

haven't liked krak's game at all. seems flat and lacks pace. defensive pressure has been poor too and yes I know he's missed a lot of footy but he needs to lift if he's going to be considered for the seniors.

Besides Young, all the mature aged players seem to be offering great value. Some inspired recruiting
