Well, we stuffed that up, right in front of their goal.

Still roves out the back of a contest inside 50, keeps it low, but misses!

21-41.

Very poor second quarter.

So far, on this performance, only De Goey deserves to be considered for the seniors.

I don't think we'll be seeing Fasolo any time soon.

Yep, needs to pull his finger squarely out of his arse. Has been terrible.

Of the senior-listed players, only Marsh, Moore and Young look close. Witts, Freeman, De Goey, PK, Maynard and Goodyear all disappointed me in that half.

The optics for Fas are rubbish, he just looks terribly uninterested. He should be dominating at this level.

Not sure why De Goey disappointed you he at least has some vision.

Moore has elected to lose his feet on couple of occasions at least one of them directly costing a goal.

On a separate note, I am appalled by the quality of the stats in the VFL Record. Eg, Fas with a date of birth of 9 June 1996. So, he was drafted at 14. Plenty more the same. Quite shameful - and they charge for it.

Has anyone got a view about Freeman? He just seems off the pace. He looks like a footballer when he gets the ball but does not seem to be working hard enough.
