That was a sublime pass to Everitt. The vision to spot him was impressive just by itself. Can you imagine Bell, Robbo or Grigg doing that? They just would have bombed it as long as they could.

Indeed, it showed real poise and composure..... This lad has the gift of 'time'.

It was a great kick, but don't forget the lateral movement and pace that gave him the time and space to spot Everitt and deliver the ball so precisely. I doubt whether Bell, Robbo or Grigg could get clear of two opponents with the ease that Boekhorst showed.
He's still a work in progress but the signs are good.

Yep, it must take time for first-year players to deal with the pressure of AFL footy. He might be fast but he would have quickly discovered that many others are as fast or faster. Just the numbers around the ball would rattle a youngster. He's starting to develop the confidence that he can find space without worrying too much about who might be behind him.

The fact that we did require a rebuild but were too arrogant to notice it back then and make the trade is the reason why we are paying the ultimate price now and are behind clubs like Melbourne and St Kilda.
Must have struggled with the Captaincy.... when's that being announced again?

The only thing that irritated me slightly last night was the ease at which some of our guys got stepped around.
So many guys overcommitted.

our game plan around the ground has changed but i noticed a couple of 2015 traits such as the long bomb into fwd line and kicking straight to opposition i think happened to much last night but overall we heading in the right direction.
