Was at game, saw first half:

Balta was magnificent early, marking and kicking great.  Shouldn't have been dropped, huge mistake

Soldo was great in the ruck, deserves a go at some point

Ross was BOG, he's ready and should come in this week.  Tough and composed

Towner is just what we need along with Ross, these 2 are tough hombres

Bolton was good and played in the guts, like him there, very evasive

CCJ is going to be very good when he fills out.  Kicked 2 nice goals, marked well. 

Garthwaite.  Comes in this week.  Balta also. 

Moore, dangerous and also could come in.  Kicking looks to have improved

Chol.  Just needs to be more engaged all the time

RCD, Turner, English will all be good I think.  Gut runners just need a pre season or 2

Stack didn't do much from what I saw. 

Menadue & Naish were solid

That is all

Didn't Garthwaite get injured again?

Agree with most of this.
Menadue was fantastic in the first 2 quarters played - gave Goldsack a bath. Naish got into the game and did some nice things - kicking was off.
Stack was solid but gave away some silly free kicks due to being too aggressive. His decision making is great!
Moore should get his chance over the coming 4 weeks and deserves it. Play his out of the square as no defender can match his pace (poor mans DeGoey?)
Ross should play as he is a wrecking ball, good leg speed, gets clearances and kicks the ball well.
RCD didn't get a heap of the ball but gee he looks good.
And Aarts continues to impress.

The Pies played the same game style as the seniors however due to poor skills (our pressure) they turned the ball over often. Soldo also dominated the ruck contests.

I only saw the second half again and Bolton was very good. Always had X factor but does heaps more now than just flying for screamers. Should come in for mine. Play him on ball or a wing.

Ross was quiet I thought in the second half but going off what others have said, did all his work in the first half. Just hurts blokes when he tackles. Will be a player.

Moore will get an opportunity with Jack out and deserves another chance. He was pretty good too.
Just needs to get some confidence playing at AFL level.

Baker is just a natural footballer and is a level above VFL. He is clean and kicks it well. Should get a gig too soon.

Nash also did some nice things.

Definitely some options going forward to replace guys at AFL that are not preforming.
