Were you happy with our team selections leading up to that (before and after the Kreuzer stuff up)
Are you convinced we are heading in the right direction?
a) No. It was a poor performance. Our forwardline was terrible. No space. No one creating space. No one leading towards the ball carrier. Best at this were Curnow, Thomas and Lamb. Weitering was lost and just got in the way. Not a forward, however with Marchbank and Jones we don't really need 3 talls. Struggled for a match up, however for his development I would prefer to play him in the seniors.
b) None have really bothered me. I would have liked to see McKay play much for the same reasons as Weittering. I don't think he is ready, but the more games he and Curnow play in the same forwardline the better. Silvagni I love but I not sure what role he plays in the modern game. Not tall enough/Not quick enough. Hard to find a similar type in any of the successful sides.
c) List wise yes. I like the influx of youth, but it was alway going to bring pain. We (Carlton Supporters) piss and moan about Gibbs and Murphy, but they are class players and you can't expect the kids to step up and replace a Gibbs. He will dominate at the Crows with Crouch (x2) and Sloane. He will make dills like Spanner look silly. Yeah we are better off without Gibbs and Murphy ;(
