R2: The young (and the rest)

Round One saw the unveiling of some shiny new talent, some others who look to have taken the step to the next level and the recycling of some older, maybe damaged goods.
I watched new cat-dudes Ratagolea, Kelly and Fogarty all impress while Fristch provided the sole Demons highlight on a bleak day. Impressive starts too from Crow Darcy Fogarty, Saint Hunter Clark and #1 pick Cam Rayner. All kicked at least one goal and get a gold star.
Charlie Curnow, Christian Petracca and Riley Bonner all look to have made the next step.
And some recycled players did alright too. Watts had his best game since 2016, Motlop, Stringer and Smith did enough. Charlie Cameron had a ripper for BrizVegas and Jarrod Garlett looks a handy pick-up for the Blues. Conversely Jake the Snake Lever was pretty much a liability for the the first half, but started to get a little bit in the second half.
In other news we saw a show-down between Buddy and T Mitchell for player of the round.
