Only saw the second half, so can only comment on a side that was 6 goals down going into the break.
Better effort all around, but the same issues that have beset the side for years, namely poor kicking and a lack of run.
Cripps, Curnow and Bell did well around the packs, and Docherty gave some run, along with Simpson.
Jones went missing as per usual, so no surprises there, and Henderson was underdone as expected. Everitt looked better up forward, and may be a better option than Jones around half forward as he seems to be better at meeting the ball directly. At least he moves a little more. Casboult did ok and his kicking is getting better. Hope Yarran's ankle is allright for next week.
Still, a black cloud has been lifted from the club and we can look forward to building something better. We have so far to go but things can turn around quicker than expected. They all need to work on the little efforts such as getting onto the mark, shepherding, and the like. This is what limits scores against rather than one on one heroic efforts. Bring on next week.
