Another round down as we now only have 4 more weeks until finals start and we start to rely less and less on rookies. There are still rookies putting their hand up to debut or return but others seem destined to remain in the reserves this season.

Verdict: Stephens played his first game in the VFL and showed he is a standout with 28 touches and a full stat sheet. Evans played well with 2 goals and 19 touches as did Dempsey with a goal and 21 touches. Knevitt was quiet again and I haven’t seen any news on an injury.
GOLD COAST

James Tsitas $102.4k MID – 17 disposals (7 kicks), 11 tackles, 5 clearances and had 5 inside 50s – 83 (92/8)
Verdict: Hollands still can’t get a game and for those that don’t have him are hoping he doesn’t until next season but I am sure he will play at least 1 this year to ruin his price for next season. Moyle did his usual thing with 37 hitouts and some good work around the ground as did Tsitas with 17 touches and 11 tackles.

Verdict: van Rooyen kicked 3 goals from 17 touches in a decent game while Laurie kicked a goal from his 21 touches. Chandler played well with 20 touches and 2 goals as well as good work around the ground, if he’s not the sub he should score okay in the AFL.

Any chance Luke Cleary gets more games? (Still in 10% of teams)
I don’t think we’ll see him again this year, not fr an extended period anyway. He looked good when he played though
Nice work again Alza.
What happened to Jai Culley?
Expecting Hollands to get a game very soon and also have an eye on Carmichael.
Culley had 14 touches (7 kicks), 3 marks and laid 5 tackles. Not too bad but most of the other Eagles had big days as they won their first game in the WAFL
Any news where K Dawson is at the Roos?
He played, had 13 touches (7 kicks), 4 marks and laid 2 tackles
