I was very happy with the way we played, we're a few years behind Collingwood and it showed today but our application was first rate.
Dow Walsh and Setterfield all look like very good players but they came up against some class and experience today, Pendlebury, Treloar, Sidebottom and Beams are hardened and classy and our kids struggled a bit, in a couple of years it will be a different story.
We're right on track as far as I'm concerned.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Polson cannot hold his spot IMO until he learns how to hit a barn door with no pressure. He kills us every time
He goes near it as he 9/10 butchers it.
Yep he runs fast and chases well and even lays a few nice tackles most games. So what !! If we want to accept being a bottom team then we could argue his stats are worthy of another game. Jack needs to show more imo yet is still streets ahead of polson. At least jack has some smarts and can execute when going inside 50. Polson has neither of those attributes.
Cant have those sorts of player not up to it against a top team like tigers. If the MC is serious about giving us a chance the a half fit Fasolo is a big upgrade on Polson.
No problem Shawny but I think that's what is getting him games atm - he's doing stuff that the coaches want. I know we need better. The Faz would be a different proposition in that he's more of a marking, goalkicking type rather than a defensive type forward. Be interesting to see how this plays out. Today we struggled a bit to move the ball forward for a lot of the time so it is very important I guess to keep it there when we do achieve that.
Reality always wins in the end.

Only saw the second half and for mine;
Negatives:
Charlie is playing badly and has to stop trying the low percentage superstar stuff. Stop reading the press and do the team thing.
Our gameplan appears to be, bomb the ball long into the forward line and see what pans out.
Garlett, Polson, Thomas and McGovern.
Our backline is struggling with quick entries and on kick ins.
Room for improvement:
Setterfield. Kicking for goal.
Positives:
Midfield. Kept at it until the end. They seem to be manning up a lot better when defending.
Think we have heaps to improve on.
Really happy with how Weitering is playing.

It's a scratch match....we're trailing by 3 points.
What a bunch of Richmond supporters...(pre recent success).
I tend to agree FB. We finished last, our team is full of kids and we’re playing seasoned finalists. :-\
I wonder how many “supporters” will retract their comments about Simmo?

I guess folk see what they want to see but, if Simpson’s game was crap, I’ll settle for more crap for the rest of the season.
I thought that he started slowly but worked his way into the game and was probably second only to Cripps in our best players.
