1. Jones is a core player right now, he played every game. He MAY get overtaken by 2,3,4 of these younger players but they havn't yet. Why can't we deal in the here and now, not predictions.

2. Bennell kept wonna out because wonna was injured unfit or wasn't performing. Bennell has never been a core player for us, useful because he is quick. Not core. Jones' good games were better than Jamie's and his worst ones weren't as bad, which is why he played 22 games and Bennel didn't. Bail wouldn't have been dropped "for matchup purposes" if he was as a core player (or better than Jones for that matter). Morton has had a bad year and got dropped because of it.

3. Gysberts has played 3 games. There are no players at any clubs who can play 3 games and be a core player. He is a teenager who has had 3 good games, that is all he is.

4. PJ is no star, but he is the clear 2nd choice. If there is daylight between Jamar and PJ, there is at least as much between him and Spencer. Too risky geting rid of him.

5. Warnock might get a 3rd round.

6. There are several VFL players who have outperformed maric, probably several Casey players who have.

There are plenty of players in school ranks that would have been better than Maric & many AFL stars. They always are, & yes there is players at VFL that are currently better than Maric,,, just as there was plenty better than Jamar, but not many with better Upside. Maric is still developing & it's too soon to say how far he will go, only that he needs to get the Lead out. He's started to this season, show some exciting form,,, but equally has been frustrating to, but thats the problem of he,,, who's frustrated. He'll make it, or he won't, but it's a year too soon to say, yet.

You didn't think Jamar is very good to elite?

As mentioned, he has another year like this year he goes becomes the A grade, but this is one season of very good football, he needs to back this up next year.

We all have our pet players that we like and players no matter what they do we dislike, Cam Bruce is one you either like him or you don't, if you don't you see the negative if you like him you back him, Jones is also getting this. I think looking at our list you need to assess as developing players. I assess our list as per below

....

B Grade Potential

Blease, Gawn, McNamara, Petterd, Tapscott, Aussie, Strauss, McKenzie

...

Absolutely laughable - I'll use the above bracket as an example:

Blease, Tapscott & Gawn have not played a single AFL game; Strauss & McNamara 2/3 each

Good grief.

West Coast want a small forward, Carlton want a key back and Kirk is retiring at Sydney.

brisbane have lost rischitelli.
