That was Paddy's warm up RSN performance
There were certainly some lackluster patches in the second half. All in all though a solid run against quality opposition. Only jlt and all that but a win for a young side is priceless. We had more players out than Saints yet we held our own. I love that we lost the turnover stat too and de remained reasonable. I hope these are all signs of the effectiveness of our preparation.
I hope Garlett is OK. He had a few flashes of brilliance and will be better for the run. I thought Kennedy was solid and Byrne worked his way into it.
Jonesy just continues to impress in defense. I hope the Carlton shop's got plenty of #14 merchandise. I also noticed how many of the guys looked (on tv) like they were giving instruction. Perhaps our leadership density really is increasing. That will make for a super learning environment for our newbies and youngsters.
Enjoy the tiny wins bluebaggers
Garlett is a bit light and plays a WAFL brand of footy, talented for sure but might be a horses for courses player on dry bigger grounds....

First run in the big time for quite a while. He’ll pick up the pace as the season progresses.

We held up though in the end and maybe gained a lot from the experience? I thought, to our great credit, we had a resurgence in the second half of the final quarter to gain the win.
Me too cookie. My biased view was that we've trained the q4 fadeouts effectively.
Interesting how Bolts limits rotations during PS. Clever little bugger :

Will easily be our best defender in a year or two.
Liam Jones still making simple errors
Who would you play Weitering on vs Richmond, given Jones will most likely get Riewoldt and the other Richmond Forwards will
of the small to mid mobile pressure types? Butler, Costanga, Caddy, Rioli, Edwards, Lambert etc, Martin....?

We don't have 5 small defenders either way.
I think you play to your position and zone and perhaps if anything you play Weiters loose in that game zoning across half back.
But anytime you play a team with so many smalls you are going to struggle to match small for small, so you try and take marking options away from them and clog it up with zones

St Kilda were shocking tonight. And it was only JLT.
Those 2 caveats aside that was a great win. We seemed to experiment quite a bit during the game also with the midfield especially.
Liked how we saw off the challenge and pulled away at the end to make it comfortable. How often did that happen in reverse last year?
Dow.... gun. Delivery into the forward line outstanding. Rove off the pack with clean hands. Lot to like.
Felt a lot better than this time last year anyway.

If he is loose are you playing another man back to pick up his man or are you allowing Weiterings nominated opponent to also be loose? the latter is a dangerous tactic given Richmonds
entry rate and ability to rebound quickly which doesnt include bombing the ball, rather they hit up their smalls on the run and look to burn you on the break by creating the overlap.
