Hopefully I will make the Prelim

Recently on air Johnno was asked about the Dogs finals hopes and how important it was to get through and at least win one. He was non-plussed and replied that he'd like any success but he wasn't worried as he saw the next two years of development as the most exciting and where we're really going to shine.
I know today's game wasn't against a great challenger but its very easy to see why he's enthusiastic and untroubled.
Dolan, Sellwood, Jaques, Walker, Arty-beginning to fire on all cylinders, Smith, Hynes all showing sleek skills and game sense. Kennedy solid but a tad behind the other draftees for now.
Croft, Freijah, firing, Sanders having another pre-season. Buss peeping through. Cleary on the rise. Davidson classy. These guys plus the established players and a couple of experienced defender reinforcements in the trade and we're in for some invigorating play, especially if we can tweak our systems under pressure.

Anyone see what Dolan’s injury is?

[kruder]

I only got to see the third but Liam Jones looked to be moving the best he had all year?

Hopefully I wrong on Walker I've seen him a few times looks very vanilla to my eye not sure how the hell he has kicked 4. I will have to watch him more closely in the prelim.

Arty Jones for mine was the highlight. I’m certain he plays 15 plus AFL games at least next year.

If he backs up his form in the PF and hopefully the GF he will play all games.

Shame we lost Dolan and Scott before half time. Someone said Buss was sick and I wonder if Croft was in concussion protocols?

Selwood has some size and agro in him, can’t wait to see him next year at afl level.

Any guesses what position Jacques will settle into?

He could’ve had six or seven.

He could’ve had six or seven.

Im in shock, Ive been looking for an AFL trait I haven't seen one yet but maybe the forward line is his go!

I'm guessing he played forward due to injuries? I'm not sure we need another forward at this stage.

I’ll comment on the afl boys later this evening, but my word has Will Lewis improved. When he first started at footscray I didn’t know how he got a game. He seemed to **** everything up he touched!

Now he is a barometer. A real team player. His defensive pressure is huge. Couldn’t be more impressed with his level of improvement at this level. I reckon he could be the next Brodie Miocheck if a team picked him up.

I keep saying this, but CCP should also be on a list. Consistently top 5 players in a strong team. Does everything well. I think he has enough toe for his game to translate well to High Half Forward role at AFL Level.

I agree CCP is an AFL level footballer to my eye, still wished we got Shaun Mannagh he is so good at that role.
