Re: 2017 Rd 1 Post Game Analysis: Carlton vs Richmond - Lods - 03-23-2017
The problem I'm seeing here is that some folk are looking at last nights game and thinking....
"That's it! That's as good as it gets for 2017. That's just about our best possible side."
but....
Inexperienced players will develop as the season progresses.
There will be a development in terms of combining as a team. That was the first game together for many under match pressure conditions.
On all lines (forward, mid, back) players will start to work out each others limitations and strengths and play to them.
Our starting 22 last night wont be our starting 22 at the end of the year.
Bolton will learn a lot too.
Actually on reflection, there were aspects of last night that suggested that we finally have the framework/skeleton of a decent side with the forward line looking much better...and a few youngsters showing a bit back.
Now to put some flesh on i!

We were far more competitive in the back half that the W-L tells you. Granted the Essendon game was a disaster.

We increased the number of kids out there, we looked small and weedy compared to Nthmond and they aren't a big side by any stretch of the imagination.
Neither team I saw last night will have any significant impact on the top eight sides, they'll be treated with disdain.
Don't be surprised to find out we have injuries to three or four key players out of last night. Cripps, Murphy, Kreuzer and Weitering all managed to hurt themselves. I reckon Murphy has hurt his back, he might have to carry that injury for the rest of the season.

Dusty aside, the Tigers are woeful.
Pity we didn't really come to play....our leaders let us down, again.

Not acceptable to lose like that to an average AFL team like Richmond with hacks in it like White, Armfield Thomas, etc al. Ed Curnow is a tagger and that's it. He MUST ONLY go to the best onballer each week and annoy the heck outta em!
I can handle losing with kids - we had some - which was great, but please BB play Cuningham, McKay, Fisher, et al. Rotate them if need be.
Gee we have some spuds. I do not want to replace spuds with spuds (eg. Thomas for Kerridge).
Some positiev signs, but I am sure all of our bloeks are better for the run and getting the cob webs out of the sytem, and getting some hometruths,. We'll see how they reposnd now!
Weitering great! He's a CHF see......

And how many poor, poor, poor cheap turnover did we deliver on a platter to the Tigers - 12, 15, 20?
That's not (in general) a youth thing. That's just poor footy.
Bolton's coaching last night - 1 out of 10. Simply didn't see anything tried after Plan A proved to be an abject disaster.
Conceding 83 points in a half to a team like Richmond. Shocking, embarrassing, laughable.

Same story of skill errors and turnovers. We were blown out of the water in Q1 and that's pretty much how it stayed. Good to see the young guys get their chance and some promising signs there. Pretty much as expected as one small step of a long and painful rebuild. Next week will be a bigger challenge.
Re: 2017 Rd 1 Post Game Analysis: Carlton vs Richmond - Baggers - 03-23-2017
Interesting that both the seniors and NBs lost their respective games early/slow starts.
Re Daisy I find myself sitting on the fence - and I don't like splinters in the @rse. I, wrongly, expect him to give us what he gave Rottingwood and when you're on serious loot that expectation is justified. But, the bottom-line is that he aint the player he was. That ankle is problematic. He can't jump and he's lost a yard.
So, time to see him in the same vein as Palmer, Kerridge and Smedts ability wise. His upside is no doubt his leadership and experience and that is valuable... to a point. I really hope he improves as the season progresses. But if his on-field contribution falls short, no 2018.

The blooding of the young kids is all good and well, in fact it is actually perfect.
The thing is that we still have too many players getting games that have NO FUTURE at our club and to me that has to stop (and the whole rant about trading etc).
Play just kids, lose to Richmond by 65 instead of 43, both are embarrassing, but one gives more games to kids to give them a chance to prove themselves.
All of my anger about last night isn't the result or Bolton or anything, it is at our clubs inability to build a list.
