Jong looks a good pick up, for a kid with limited football experience he's already having a big impact at VFL level. I would think he'd be ahead of where the club expected him to be.

Agreed.

He is very hard, good when the ball is in the air and has a bit of pace. I think he is a good decision maker with his hands but struggles with he needs to use his foot skills. Still, definitely a great start for a project rookie pick.

His marking is good as well. To me he is a bit like Mitch Hahn with his skills. It will take a while but he is worth keeping on the list.

Yep, that's what I meant about being when the ball is in the air, should have just said he was a good mark! He is great at even creating a contest.

I have heard a few of German's talks during the breaks and it seems to me that he really rates Jong as an important player to Willy.

Named in the top 2 bests the last 3 weeks.

Great to have another game at the Whitten Oval, the Pound certainly appreciated the extra custom.

Howard impressed me, as did Wall and McHarg, and Hill moves very nicely around the ground, and was good with his hands when the ball hit the ground.

Couldn't get out for the game. For anyone at the game today, how did you see both Talia and Pearce's games ?

Pearce didn't play from what I could see.

Talia was solid down back, seems like a bit of a general down there. He played within his limitations and mainly hit up high % short kicks. He's destined for a good AFL career IMO.

Hooper really disappointed me today. He looks like a guy that knows he's on a knife edge and just went ball chasing to impress the higher ups. His skills by hand were sub standard and tried to be too cute by foot. Hate saying it, but his AFL career seems over.

3rd tall defenders need to be able to take the game on when needed and my only knock on Talia at the moment is that he is far better suited to switching play rather than creating it.
Hargrave can run and carry the ball down the field and drive it long with his kicking but Talia's first thoughts are about moving the ball sideways.
He's young, tough and dedicated but we must look at ways of improving his offensive approach from the back line.

Do we think Jong will be given a second year on the rookie list, or elevated at the end of the year?

I haven't seen much of him, but he's been mentioned in the bests most weeks.

Might even get elevated later this year, if we get our defenders back and Austin returns to the rookie list.

Pretty hard to make play when you cant kick.
