It's a shame that GC put up such a poor performance, particularly as the game wore on. It's difficult to assess our key defenders when they are hardly put under pressure. Nonetheless, I think Maibaum is going okay without standing out, while AJ often looks the AFL champion he once was, except that he doesn't see much of the footy.
Despite being out of the MVP votes this week, I think Robbie Fox looks most AFL ready of the ressies players. He has a solid all around game: good skills, pace and physicality. Doesn't make many mistakes and can play several positions.
We do have a good benchmark for the ressies in that we know what players like Towers, Newman and Robbo can do at senior level. On that basis, it's fair to say that COR looks ready for the big time. He's quite a proactive player, always trying to make things happen. He can have a fair few errors in his game, but I suspect that will work its way out in due course.
Cameron continues his strong form, although I can't say his GC opponents gave him much of a challenge.
James Rose also keeps producing solid performances. His kicking was a bit off this game, but his efforts remain strong. He has a well rounded game now. He's a tough physical player that's hard to contain. Excellent mark, even against taller opponents.
Reid and Melican named but with 5 emergencies also named, I don't think they are certainties to play.
