[masoncox]

30 disposals to Parish.
What a joke

[masoncox]

Why is Cameron preferred over Cox.
At least Cox has the occasional good game.
I know Kruger is off but I can't see much in him.
Our forward line absolutely stuffed.

[Big T]

Today's game. Cameron far more valuable.

[RudeBoy]

Bianco is the real deal. Surely, he'll replace Callum Brown in the seniors next week.

I just wish we had an in form big man to replace the injured Krueger. I notice that Kelly took 7 marks, so maybe he should be given an opportunity to show something for us. There don't seem to be much else in the big man department worth considering, at the moment at least.

Just watched the reserves and not sure who comes in I expect it must be Henry & Cox for Kruger and Grundy but neither were banging the door down.

Tyler Brown was probably the best AFL player.

Will Kelly played his best game "from my view" which was still modest I am not sure there was a contested mark in the 7 he supposedly took most seemed to be on the switch or the short kick in. I hope the kid makes the grade but surely he could not be selected on that performance where his previous performances were not VFL standard.

We also need to remember that the Bummers reserve team have lost all games this season/
