Oldy,
Where was Nathan Jones? I thought he was picked to play. He will give your onball brigade some grunt.
Batram was okay first up. Like several of our young kids he will have to work long and hard on his kicking. Always a question mark with him but otherwise he ran hard all game.

Jones was in the 25 and is exactly what we are missing, we should play him for the remaining 21 games subject to monitoring burnout.
McLean will make a difference there too but it's a sad state of affaurs when we are relying on a 21yo and an 18yo to provide the grunt.
Bartram is very promising and even tho he was played in a run with role on Stevens he can get his hands on the contested ball. I thought Stevens did a lot better when Bartram was off and McDonald was on him, altho McDonald did contibute something for us. Reading Wisbey etc Bartram's kicking is the query, is that your observation also? That showed up with 2 terrible turnovers that resulted in Carlton goals. It will be interesing to see whether he can overcome that or whether he's going to be permanenetly handicapped like say Godfrey.
Bruce was very good considering 1/2 a game preparation and Green probably shaded Kouta. Sylvia was OK and will be a good AFL player but "superstar" predictions by MFC supporters are ridiculously premature.
Ferguson was better than I expected and altho I supported the move of Miller onto the dangerous Waite in Rivers absence he was terrible. And PJ in his place was worse than terrible.
I thought Lance was good and I supported our push for him in the off season. He would have been very handy last night at CHF or CHB but then we would not have Jones and in the long run he addresses an even more crucial deficit.

I just tend to take it for granted that he will do well.
