43# Andy Moniz-Wakefield - Progressing nicely in the VFL might need to get a bit more of the football.

42# Judd McVee - Struggling to get a lot of the ball. Needs time.

41# Fraser Rosman - Improving slowly since he's gone down back.

40# Blake Howes - Looked promising early a foot injury has hampered his progress.

39# Deakyn Smith - Progressing steadily down back.

38# Daniel Turner - Injured early has come back and looked impressive in the VFL.

37# Taj Woewodin - Has shown good signs on the wing.

36# Oskar Baker - Good form in the VFL but doesn't look like he has the abiltiy to turn that into good AFL form.

35# Majak Daw - Been solid in the ruck for Casey. You know what you get with Majak.

34# Jacob van Rooyen - Has shown promising signs in the VFL with a 6 goal haul against North.

33# Bailey Laurie - Shown promising signs in the VFL and been close to selection

32# Kade Chandler - Hasn't had a real run at it this year the suspension cost him dearly.

31# Jake Melksham - Cooked at AFL level but trying had at VFL level.

30# Michael Hibberd - Been injured for most of the year. Starting to find some form at VFL level.

29# Adam Tomlinson - Good form in the VFL but it's not transforming to good AFL form.

28# Mitch Brown - Excellent form at VFL level. Worth persisting with at AFL level

27# Sam Weideman - Good VFL form not turning into good AFL form like Tomlinson.

26# Joel.Smith - Was really starting to find his feet at AFL level until he done his ankle. Injury prone.

25# Luke Dunstan - Been a disappointing recruit. Accumulator but doesn't hurt the opposition.

24# Jayden Hunt - Been really poor the last month. Needs to find some form. Doing the small forward lockdown role.

23# Trent Rivers - Disappointing year not up to the lofty heights from his premiership year.

22# Ben Brown - Disappointing year. Last month has been putrid, needs to find some form.

21# Toby Bedford - The super sub. Showed promisng form has pace to burn and could be dangerous in tandem with Spargo and Pickett.

20# Tom Sparrow - Struggled of late needs to find consistantcy.

19# James Harmes - Been ok but needs to find a bit more of the ball.

18# Christian Salem - Been injured most of the year. Showed good signs against Sydney

17# Luke Jackson - Not putting his stamp on the game liek he should be time to step up.

16# Jake Bowey - Early in the year he was a rising star favorite struggled a little bit of late.

15# Harison Petty - Missed the whole pre season starting to play some good footy.

14# Alex Neal-Bullen - Not hitting the scoreboard but still playing his role.

13# Charlie Spargo - Similar to Neal-Bullen.

12# Tom McDonald - Strugled early but really started to hit his straps before he got injured.

11# Kysiah Pickett - Electrifying at his best the best defensive player in the comp.

10# Jake Lever - Not as good as last year.

9# James Jordon - Revelation on the wing this year.

8# Jack Viney - The heart and soul of the footy club still playing some great footy.

7# Ed Langdon - Best wingman in the comp.

6# Bailey Fritsch - Our only consistant forward.

5 Christian Petracca - Controversial most people would have him in the best 2 or 3 but I don't think he has had as good a year as he did last year.

4 Angus Brayshaw - Has been a revelation down back in All Australian form.

3 Steven May - Showed his importance with his absence. The rock of the back line.

2 Clayton Oliver - Never puts in a bad game.

1 Max Gawn - The best player in the league.

  

Pretty fair positioning for Trac. His first two weeks were sublimely explosive but a possible knee injury and/or other niggles and illness have certainly taken away a lot of his power and explosiveness.  Seems to have tied himself in some psychological knots around his set shot goal kicking too. Hoping the bye freshens him up for a strong 2nd half of the season.

Lets cut to the chase, Trac is out of form or injured. Watch his game Saturday night, he fumbled the ball more than anyone on the ground and that is a sign that his touch is just not there. Its actually symptomatic across the team, key players are desperately out of touch.

Ben Brown - cant get near it, when he does, missing easy shots, some not making the distance.

Lever - exposed badly without May and not the intercept player he was last year.

Jacko - Just going to be honest.

 

Laurie - not demamding selection

I think you’re harsh on Tomlinson. And I think Mitch Brown has shown on Saturday what he showed us in a game or two last year – that is, he’s just not up to AFL. He gets brushed aside too easily and has no presence in a pack.
