Agree. I haven’t watch VFL all year and I’m mighty impressed with Ryan’s development.

He looks to have put on some size which is what he needed, going ok I reckon. Give him an AFL game just for confidence against one of the lesser teams as I reckon he is close.

Such a difference from last week's lethargic performance. Lurgy and/or heavy training last week?

I reckon we should be happy with some of the Clubs VFL players today - plenty have done a lot.

Reckon our kids in the middle have done well- Ross, RCD have looked a class above, along with Sonsie early on, haven’t seen him much in the second half though - although he just snapped a goal.

Others including Mansell and Brown in the backline, Samson in the ruck and Stacks best game for the year and junior just all class as well.

Good signs, as with the seniors, it’s like you need to play against a lesser team to generate some form.

Ross hands on BOG. Great game from Stack. Thought Martyn was very solid in the backline. We look good against the weaker teams. Problem at VFL level is there's a huge difference in class between the top and bottom clubs.

Why did Street win the Cleary award?

Interesting comment we all know from Ross. He has to play wing in AFL but like mid time in the VFL, and calls himself a defensive mid. Why don't we play him there????

Much better than last week.

Ross was very good. Spoke after the game about being able to get back to the VFL and play in the middle. I wonder if we consider a chance to rest Cotch in a couple of weeks, and give Ross a crack in the middle.

Stack and MRJ were all class, though some of MRJ's kicking was a bit off today. Cumberland continues to track well, 3 goals and 6 tackles.

Bauer looks a player for me, and I think Ryan was quite good, though seemed to struggle a little at the start when he couldn't play in the ruck.

Biggie and Miller were quite good back.

Comprehensive win. Are they terrible or were we real good? We didn't have a bad player apart from Collina, who is excused.

Ross, Stack, Soldo, Martyn, MoJu the bests. Cumbers, RCD, Aarts, Young, Brown, Mansell, Ryan, Bauer all good. Parker the poor man's VFL KMac, worked like a borrowed horse.

We looked much better when we started switching the play. Opened up the half forward line and gave us multiple options
