Agree. Would be interesting to see how he would fare in the seniors this year.ToraToraTora said:

Round 2 v Port Melbourne

DES has had a nice game. Great composure.
Lots of positives but i like the fact that we have young midfielders being groomed in the VFL and not being intimidated by the bigger bodies of the stand-alone clubs.
Happy with RCD but I don't expect to see him in the seniors this year.

Thought he was ok.
A few thoughts.
DE-S is coming on beautifully. Really liked his work from the back half. Naish good too.
Turner knocks up getting the footy. Might get a snr game yet this yr.
Chol was excellent in the last term after a lazy first half. When will he put together a complete game?
Butler was a standout at the level. His run from HB to set up Aarts for a goal was top shelf.
Good win considering those out.
No player banging the door down but I thought soldo, markov, garth, eggs, Moore, butler, turner, rcd were ok
Chol was hopeless as a key forward early, but played well as a follower
Rcd shows promise but will need a stronger body to play afl
I disagree with most re Naish’s kicking ability. Missed 2 sodas.
First time I have seen English. His disposal was poor.

Enjoyable game after a weird first quarter, which didn’t even run for 20 minutes by the scoreboard. Port are clearly a much weaker team than the one that beat us in the GF, but you can only beat what’s in front of you.
Chol was his usual frustrating self, really didn’t use his body well in marking contests until the final quarter when he was able to take advantage of tiring part-time defenders.
Butler is a class above VFL level, which is pleasing to see considering he played all his football there until two years ago.
RCD just doesn’t get very involved for an inside-mid. Time’s on his side though.
Naish is coming on nicely, combining quick thinking with his lovely kicking.
CCJ is also coming on well, though he needs to tidy up his hand-passing. There were a couple of times he took nice marks, but then tried to dish it off quickly and messed up.
The Garth and Miller didn’t have a lot to do, though the latter kicked a lovely goal with an intercept mark and then a 50m roost that would still have gone through if he had been 10m further back.

This kid seems to have become our ghost. Barely known, no news, no information.....
Have you seen him progress from nothing to something or just a one-off game?

The couple of games I saw eggs play last year, I thought he was the least likely to play a game on our list,
so glad to hear he's improving

He missed most of last year and when he came back looked soft. Was probably hopelessly underdone.
He's looked very silky so far this year, though not prolific, but in fairness our backs have had very little to do so far.
Markov and Menadue haven't taken their senior opportunities this year so that will eventually fall to Naish (this year) and Eggsy (probably next year).

Yep. Why couldn't our next game against the Egoheads be a curtain raiser on Anzac Eve??

Saw him play in a practice match v Cartoon and struggled to pick between him and Stacky - now it may have been all Stacky and he didn't get near it, but reckon it was both of them that were impressing me at the time. No surprise to see Stacky do what he has done as both showed good composure and used the ball well. DES has had a bad run with injuries so given a good run may develop into a useful player yet.
