For those that watched, would you go Cumberland or Castagna in the forwards?
Depends. If you want defensive effort, go George. You want goal scoring potential, you go Cumberland.

Brown is obviously on the fast track up the pecking order and will rise through the rankings as he is a quality prospect.

I think the club sees his progression and development as a priority.

I'm a George semi-fan he won't be loosing his spot to Cumberland any time soon even though Noah was great today.

As someone at the other end of the axis, why not?
Because George is a triple premiership player has had another good pre-season has the aerobic capacity to run up and down the ground even if it can be chaotic. He is a good mark for his size and kicks goals as well as misses them.
Cumberland has had two good games that i have seen, he also is a good mark and can tackle hard but he can be a bit undisciplined. I reckon his kicking can also be hit and miss similar to George and doesn't have the aerobic capacity yet to get up the ground.
It is George's spot to lose and I don't think he does.

I have edited my initial post Caddy deserved to be in my top 5 today but no longer the AFL side IMO.

Great assessment…at match committee I don’t think George is one of the ones they are discussing if he keeps his spot…he had a bad patch last year and got dropped what was it for 1 week?

We do seem to have some solid depth that we will no doubt need over the season... Pickett, Sonsie, Stack, RCD, Dow, Cumberland, Parker are more than capable of filling out the bottom six of our first 22.

I was there and saw whole game, my best in order:

1) Sonz
2) 100% Effort by Syd today
3) Cumberland
4) Parker
5) Dow

**Edit: Caddy deserves to be in my top 5 today but no longer the AFL side IMO.

VFL player number 14 is a ripper.
Great Work Caesar ....Hail

Caesar how far off do out think Sonsie is from an AFL debut?
First match I have seen Sonsie play so too early for me to really say after one low level VFL practice match, he is further advanced than I thought considering his delayed preparation.
He get's to the right spots, he was continually in chains of play, but I still think they will want more miles in his legs before being considered?
**However : Balmey apparently said Sonsie could be in the frame before the weekend so his performance yesterday would have done him no harm.

Miller was a little disappointing for mine, Dow started a bit slowly but worked into the game and was my 5th best, Riley was reasonably quiet.
These 3 need to step up this year for us to go places.

George is flying this pre-season.

A three-time premiership footballer who is only 25 years old that is an absolute lock to start.
