I really enjoyed the game yesterday. So many positives. Not least was the performance of Dempster, McVeigh and Eski. That is the first time I've seen the future of the club on show quite like that.

McVeigh is really playing well IMO. Can't believe he is only 21 as looks about 40 and seems to have been around forever. Perhaps I have been a little harsh in my judgement. Who to drop for Davo/Matthews is a conundrum for he coaches but a nice one.

My votes for the game:

1. Goodes - awesome/incredible display. Lions inability to find a decent match for him meant he roamed free all day.
2. Bolton - another find game for Jude. Seems very switched on at the moment.
3. Crouch - he seems to bring something very special to the table when he's on Aker.

Honourable mention to Chambers. He did some very very good things yesterday.

Phillips needs a few weeks in Reserves. H
