I thought the skipper was pretty good. Not as effective as he could have been but still got us going the right way.
Ive stopped looking at numbers and started looking at effectiveness. Zac Fisher and Liam Sumner were not far off either.

Yes, Murphy was good, not as good as he has been, but then again opposition clubs can't just let him run riot and he would certainly be attracting some attention at the moment. I've noticed in the last few weeks his tackling has dropped off, I wonder if that a sign of an injury, or maybe that Aints shit has had a real effect.

Still he's a bloody good player.

I thought Bolton's 8 man defence changed the game but it is a taxing game plan and I think we ran out of legs in the final quarter.
This may work for a full game when the youngsters have a more pre-seasons under the belt but I am not sure if it will win us too many games playing this way this season.

I'd hope that the lesson learned is work harder earlier and we won't have to run you into the ground at the end!

I agree.
This is the first time I had an opportunity to go to a game this year and despite the loss and the 1st quarter, it was enjoyable. I like the look of the youngsters.
I am still somewhat concerned that we are so reliant on our aging players like Murph, Gibbs and Kruze in the midfield. Hopefully we have a strong focus on recruiting quality midfielders in the off season.

I don't think we can afford a stay at home small forward and Wright provides value wherever he plays. He really was a great addition to the list.
Samo and Sumner didn't have much impact and I guess that means we missed Wright's presence in the forward 50.

We should be able to play him forward more as we improve our midfield. Whether that will be this year or next I guess we'll see.

You play 9 kids 22 or under and it is tough, but they are seriously having a go and I think there is a lot to like. I don't care about wins, it is far less important to me that we win games, than to see all players having a go and improving, which I think is obvious.
I want to win, I was screaming at the screen, but there is a lot to like about the way we are doing things this season.
14 Kids 22 and Under
lol at SPS comment.... Stop trolling. (not you MIO)
Kid had 0 Pre-Season --- 0. Draftees don't start till December anyway and have a break come Christmas. He was injured for 4 weeks and played round one.
has dropped off a little and running on the spot. Had 10 tackles last week and 5 this week. So he's still impacting the contest....
Why is he like Yarran? Plays a completely different style of game than Chris did. Is this a racial thing? A Pick 6 thing?

Agree he is a great addition to the list and one of my fav players but when he doesnt kick goals we usually struggle and he is one of the very few who can kick straight on a regular basis.
So I find it odd we are using him up the ground as much as we are and as Cookie pointed out I found the half back flank a strange place for him to be playing....
