Fighting for a spot with Cotch and Graham I think. They would be our defensive midfielders right now wouldn't they? I don't think he plays in place of either right now, but a possibly option if we decide to rest Cotch in the coming weeks.

Ryan definitely does his best work in the ruck and around the ground.
Does have forward craft but not particularly strong or powerful on the lead.
Definitely competing with Soldo who looked good in the ruck and up forward
Jack Ross BOG, very good game.
Rioli Jnr and Stack also had very good games, in our best.
Matt parker seemed to be everywhere and fought hard, just needs to use the ball with more care.
Super impressed with Tom Brown getting better each week. Good over head and a good ball user.
Collier Dawkins worked hard as did Mansell. Ben Miller was also impressive in the back half.
Cumberland just looks so dangerous in the air or on the ground, 3 goals.
Dow had some good moments, very clean with the ball in hand. Sonsie looks all class didn’t have a heap of it but when he does get it uses it well.

Ryan doesn’t look like he has an AFL body yet to me. Rioli does now - taken 2 years but he’s ready.
Category B rookie. Hardly costing us much. Might not work, probably not likely to work but if it does.......
Calling it as I see it. To be fair Soldo looked pretty much the same when he started & now he's a premiership player.
Sounds like a few in the VFL side are starting to make advances in their careers so who knows we could be in for a surprise later on in the season when kids start taking established stars positions at AFL
We don’t know because Soldo was actually playing vfl development league at the same stage and that option doesn’t exist now.
Jeez there is a stark difference between that sort of VFL game and the AFL.
Great to win and some encouraging performances, but big gulf between that and AFL.
Ross & Aarts always look too good for VFL. I'd expect them both to get another crack if they are let go at end of this year (doubt that happens BTW).
Love to see Stack get a call up, he did a lot of little things, pressure/tackles/spoils.

If some weren't able to watch the ressies today, check out the 12 min highlights reel.

I disagree. No player will be picked if their skill isn't at a minimum level. Constantly missing simple handball targets is not acceptable. Castagna's clangers this year 2.9, last year 1.3. Turnovers this year 3.7, last year 2.2. Defensive pressure is well down on previous years as well. That is why he's not in the 1s. And if he doesn't improve those aspects of his game at VFL level, barring injuries, he won't be back. 1st quarter he was abysmal, he did get better. Right now for both skill and defensive pressure I would have both MRJ and Cumberland ahead of Castagna atm.
