Surprised that Mihail Lochowiak is still in the reserves .

Hard to get a league game when Cochrane coming in straight from 18's
Dougie can play and will be a very good footballer but to pick him after 2 average 18's games after missing about 10 weeks is an interesting call. Be surprised if that hasn't upset a few reserves players playing good footy and doing the work. Good family, good kid but not sure on this call

Yeah I agree. Especially being a bottom age U18. Not like he needs to show anything against men at this stage of his development. Some AFL clubs have him rated as the top pick in the 2026 draft - let him play 18s and go well with next year the focus for him.

Quite a few U18s playing league this week who probably need to show they're up to it to give themselves a chance of being drafted, but not Dougie.
