POulter, Rantall, Bianco, Daicos, Quaynor, Noble, all gave glimpses of the future.
Lynch battled manfully in the ruck, but was outclassed- still give him another three games to get a decent sample size on him.
He is on one fifth of the wage of Grundy and probably delivered about one quarter of the output. I will let others do the maths on that.
Was thrilled with Callum Brown's cameo in the middle- 11 possessions and 7 tackles showed what he is capable of- I had pumped him up in the pre-game and was rapt for him that he played such a key role.
Pendles and Sidey showed true leadership in the heat of battle.
Roughead and Hoskin-Elliott continued to return to form.
On SEN yesterday, it was mentioned that Greenwood, Mayne, Cox and Thomas are out-of-contract at season's end. Given that the club would not get much change out of $1.8 million for their contracts, there should be some respite in terms of salary cap (although it would be prudent to re-sign Moore and De Goey one year early).
My understanding is that North are still keen on De Goey- if so, straight swap for number one pick would do the deal- that way we can jag the best available mid and then Nick Daicos in this year's National Draft.
If we were bold in selection this week, we may see
INS_ Cox, Johnson and McReery Callum Brown
OUTS: Sier (injured), Thomas and Madgen and Lynch.
Would like to see McRae as the medical sub- our kids need to play against the best which, sadly, is Melbourne at present...
Just a question on Browns 11 possessions. How many times was he tackled and lost possession in those 11? They same time stands still when Pendelberry gets the ball the same as. Down does but for a different reason. He just stops and all momentum dies. There was a perfect example late in the last term. Good team you picked WB but Brown isn’t in mine.

If North are still interested in JDG, then would want both their first and second round pick.
Use number 1 for second best player, and then match for DAICOS and let the 19 pick as part of the Daicos points.
Wright has been around the coaches box, talking to Bucks at the breaks etc, all year. I'd suggest is a forensic audit of every player each game, how they are in pressure situations, contested situations, uncontested etc etc [that's what I'd expect in his role]. Of course there is an element of coach monitoring if change is mooted or expected, but my guess is that that decision has already been made one way or another, and it's more about player potential going forward. But that's just a guess.
Should he keep working hard on and off season, Poulter may well turn out to be the best winger we have had since Mr Wright himself hung up the boots.
Surprised at the division on how Brown went, he set up many more than he butchered, and was the reason we were winning more contests as the third Q wore on

Yep, he’s a keeper. Has guts and a footy IQ - obviously needs more development and belief but will be a beauty.
