Pity he didn't take some more marks inside the 50.
Some of the balls coming in to our forward line it looked like we had too many going for the mark and spoiling each other.
There was certainly on moment, maybe in the last when Special K and Phillips got in each other's way....
Fev for a comeback?

Got it in one, I was hoping there was no need for an explanation.
Getting back to your original question, it's not going to happen obviously so we have to put up with what we have for now, which is not good enough so this is a big reason why we will finish bottom four again

I thought that he was the best ruckman on the ground in terms of overall performance. Hammer got more hitouts but did little else. However, Kreuzer seems to do better when he spends most of the time on the ball. Sharing the ruck with Phillips and spending time forward reduces his effectiveness.
As others have suggested, using the resting ruck as a forward is a work in progress and Bolton needs to do some tuning.

I have been reading your posts for many years - I thought it was unlikely you would have misconstrued my message, but I just wanted to be sure.
I think whilst there are no other alternatives, both Cas and Everitt have a place in the team. As I stated earlier, if you play them to their strengths, they both can make valuable contributions.

I'm sure Bolton will be pondering how to achieve that and will fine tune our structure until they do so more consistently.
Casboult missed two easy goals but he did a lot of good work. Seven marks, most of them contested or the result of his own efforts, is a good return for a key forward. He was playing on one of the best defenders running around, and managed to crunch him in one contest.
Everitt is not every supporters' ideal footballer but I'd have him in the team as long as he continues to kick goals.

Just don't think Kreuzer doesn't go as well when he has to share ruck duties. Reckon Casboult alot goes better when he does a bit of relief rucking, where he can run around and really get his hands on the ball. Hence why I like those two as our ruck combo, with Kreuzer being on the ball most of the day. It suits both.

A couple of tackles on Houli when he was running through the centre. One was marked by Carlton I think, and one was a turnover that resulted in a goal to us from the turnover. Not a great game but applied pressure with his tackling when he got the opportunity.

Thought our five newbies played well. Wright kicked three goals and while he dropped in and out of the game, I'll take three goals from him anyday.
Phillips rucked very well and did more around the ground in 100 minutes than Warnock did in however many years he was at the club.
Lamb put on great forward pressure even if he didn't get much of the ball.
Weitering was fantastic. Lost his man a couple of times, but was so composed and assured down back.
Kerridge faded in the last quarter. Got plenty of hard ball, and had some great moments, but his kicking wasn't great. Still liked his hard nut play.
Murphy, Simo and Cripps were magnificent. Yes Murph and Cripps struggled in the last, but one is in his third year and the other was under prepared. I adore Cripps.
Everett dropping that mark and Bolt's easy miss were the killers in the end.
Was listening to the game on the radio and we had one rotation left with 7 minutes to go and Richmond had 6 or 7 although not quite sure if that is an accurate number. The last interchange was Murphy coming on for the last 5 mins. So may of contributed to the fade out in the end.

From memory I think Buckley was much better earlier in the game but tailed off a bit as he fatigued. I noticed him later in the game chasing one of the Tiger mids and he was struggling to put one foot in front of the other. He should get better as the season progresses and his fitness improves.

Agree with all this. I would think this issue would be something of a top priority for Bolton.
EDIT : As something of an aside, when you consider :
a. that our forward line is either dysfunctional or non existent (depending on your POV)
b. it was our first serious hit out with a new coach and lots of new players
c. we were playing a finalist from last season with the current AA full back as part of their defense, and
d. missed some easy goals
I guess 83 points isn't a terrible effort, is it ? I know the Tiges were undermanned, but still..........
