Just starting this post to talk about things we have learnt about teams and positions of players in team.

I will start it off but just letting you know that i dont have foxtel and havent seen any of the games live, but listened to Cats v Coast and Swans v Roos.

GAJ - Killed it, ball magnet, must get for all teams
Bock - Played up front and looked good, may stay up there all year if rumours are true
J Bartel - Still loves the junk time, scored alot of points just hanging around the ball like a seagull and kicked a couple of goals.
Hogan - Will take Ling's spot as the tagger in the team
Big O - Looks to be No 2 behind West, and could be on the slide out of peoples teams
J Bolton - Still a tackling machine, 8 tonight and topped the swans list.
Morton - Looking more and more like not starting round 1 for the swans, Jetta may get in front of him
HMAC - Started slow and then milled the 2nd half when Goldy went off
Devon - Stats looked good, got alot of ball, unsure on efficiency, tackled well
Coniglio - Living up to pick 2 in last years draft
Hawks - No comment, they played GWS and Bruce did well in the stats
Cox - Beaten by Redden in HOs, but clearly didnt care about NAB
Q Tip - Started with a bang, then faded like a kero lantern
The eagles midfield of Kerr, Gaff, Priddis, Masten fired on all cylinders
Koby - Played well after a slow start
Redden - Out rucked cox in HOs and will maybe included in all teams here on in but will he be No 1 ruck for Port???
Michelle - Played well with 18 pos and 4 tackles
D Swan - Still doesnt give a shower about the NAB
Heater - Started the year yet again on fire, just watch out for when he falls in about 12 weeks
Magner - Ball magnet, will be elevated by the Dees. A star of the future

Fell free to add more or discuss my views

Added Lions v Crows
Golby - Starred for lions, as a back?
Goose - A worry that 2 of the top 3 lions scorers are backs??
Rocky - Leading mid for lions, no surprise there
Longer - Better then the burger
Dangermouse - 33 disposals, and ran the mids
Porps - Made it through a half of footy
Berger - What happened there??? Bad stats son

Morton was always going to be depth unless he really put the hard yards in

What about couch? He played well.

Couch did play well and should also get elevated, they even beat the pies

Who cares about that, just as long as he picks up the possessions!

if he gets 20 kicks a week and kicks all of them to the opposition, as a coach of GWS would you pick him week in, week out??

Probably, seeing as they are a very young side and the only way they are going to properly develop is by giving them game time on the big stage.  I do see your point though.
