Gee we made errors in that last qtr. Charlie's brain fade, Kemp's stuff up, and very late 2 Carlton blokes flying against each other that nearly bounced in to Bolton's hands.
21 down in contested possessions. Just didn't seem switched on. Like the cricket team, they find a way.

It was a good win because they got the win with all the errors they made and a well deserved break
I am missing (Doc, SOS) Weits, Walshy, Martin, Marchy,
We need them back or up for selection

Personally found that tough to watch - we had opportunities and just stuffed them time and again. Very frustrating. No composure way too many times.
Gee their pick ups through packs and run always were very very good.

Still unsure why we picked up Fantasia. Been a passenger two weeks running, adds nothing, last chance next week.

Only side to be 2-0 after Round 1.

He went off injured didn’t he?
Let's hope little Durdin and Motlop are ready to take their chances

We may yet be the only side to win 2 games by less than a kick after R1 ?

No.40 on the list. Worth a punt. Get better as the season goes on. He might miss for the other Holland's next game though. Having a few runs in the 2nds will help Orazio get his touch back after the long lay-off.

Seemed to get dragged down to Richmond's level playing a messy scrappy game style that was error filled and we lacked cohesion even though we had control of play for most of the game.
Happy to take the win and add another 4 points like I said in the preview thread, didnt think we had that many great players and probably got lucky the Tigers racked up some injuries and ran out of fresh legs and man power.
McGovern played one of his better games , Newman was reliable and credit to Voss for moving Charlie down back in those last critical minutes and he helped us hang on. Lewis Young looked vulnerable and Richmond probably wished they had two Baltas so they could play one at each end.
Rucks I thought were even and TDK did ok vs a rusty Nankervis who was also competitive......Harry was handy again in his new role and I thought Cripps was a good player in close and was my BOG.
The small forwards were non events for both teams although Owies kicked a couple of goals and did his job from limited opportunities....Fantasia was 44% DE until he went off and he doesnt do enough or use the ball well enough at this stage to warrant a game IMO.
