It was a very even contest. Even at the start of the 4th.
We ran out of gas....not surprising in the circumstances - no kennedy, Kreuz down, Dow a bit lost in his first real game....
Anyone who thinks Dusty had a better (or more influential) game than Cripps, well...need I say?
That said, can't fathom why Daisy wasn't paid more attention by someone on our team...
Guys like Lamb and SOJ found it hard to get involved but that happens sometimes. Like others, was a good chance for Bolts to throw Jack in the guts, but alas.
Didn't think Weitering or Murphy were bad at all.
Some of the turnovers we coughed up, nothing the defence could have done....
Portends well for a great season.
Very, very impressed with Cripps, Marchbank, Plow, Garlett (of the young/new guys). Charlie too, of course...
Kennedy too had a real influence before being injured.
Need to win next week!
That's where we should be focused. Clean up those mistakes and put a bit more tempo footy into our game, periodically defend and focus on closing down the opposition. We played into the Tiger's paws a bit by trying to go all out attack for too long. They love the rebound style and are good at it.

Bolts spoke of our need to vary the tempo in response to the flow of the game. An area we need to experience and practice as a new team. That's our first game together following massive list change. The tigers on the other hand have been doing it together for some time. Save the odd addition of a role player. With some match experience and guidance from the older guys, I expect this will come together this year.

I think you're right LN - we got a bit of a schooling from the Tiger's game on the value of this for sure.

Dusty has that ability to lift his teammates with a big play...think thats what makes him so dangerous as he actually changes the momentum of a game...Cripps is super consistent but Martin has that game changer gear.....

Agree EB. Martin has just had one of the best seasons ever by any AFL/VFL player. Not sure why we're comparing him to Cripps. Cripps is a clearance machine with good leadership who can drift forward and kick a goal. Dusty is the whole package.
Re: 2018 Rd 1 Post Game Party: Carlton vs Richmond - cookie2 - 03-25-2018
At this stage, even though Cripps is an excellent player, Dusty in my book is far more dangerous and damaging. Dusty has that sheer animal presence that Cripps doesn't and he makes other players think twice when they are near him! A huge advantage in my book.

Agree..no one wants to tackle him and I feel Caddy is his partner in crime in this area, like to see someone drop Caddy and put him back in his place, he gets away with plenty due
to his physical approach but I dont think he is a great footballer like Dusty is...Caddy just annoys me more when he throws his weight around and we back off...

Stick Dusty in our side and he'd be back with the pack very smartly
Comparing Dusty and Cripps is the quintessential apples and oranges comparison. Dusty is a forward/midfielder as his running patterns show; half of his time on the ground is spent in the forward 50. Cripps, for all the talk about him going forward, is a midfielder who excels in extracting the ball at stoppages and outmarking virtually anyone who goes against him.
Dusty has great strength that he uses to advantage and will continue to do so until opposition players learn how to counter his stiff arm. Cripps is also a very strong player but he is more subtle with his use of strength and prefers to put a step on opponents.
I don't believe the hype about players not wanting to tackle Dusty; Samo would smash him into the ground if he got the opportunity. It's more about learning how to deal with an unorthodox playing style. If I was coaching, I'd have a couple of League players as tackling dummies in the week leading up to our next Tigers game.

As I said Dusty has an animal presence that I don't currently see in any of our guys, Cripps included, and it's very powerful, almost intimidating. And btw, I actually saw Dusty sweep past Samo with majestic ease without using the fend off. I was quite taken aback. I agree, we do need to work on our tackling, Dusty or no Dusty.

@DJC "Samo would smash him into the ground if he got the opportunity"
As Samo smashed Caddy >
Unfortunately he got done for slinging if I recall correctly.
One thing's for sure, Samo showed no fear of Dusty. I think we've got Gibbs to thank for that.... remember when Gibbs backed away from the thundering Dusty, encouraging young Samo to "go get him son"
Samo has an unorthodox box of tricks himself. Just a matter of time before he smashes him IMO ;D
