Carlton vs Freo in Freo Practice Match

[ElwoodBlues1]

Ball use by foot was terrible as was some decision making, thought Jones and Weitering  were reliable and Walsh got some footy but it was hard to get excited about too much else. Martin had some nice moments until he went off but we really looked slow and out of our depth vs a lot of no name Freo players. Schultz was all over our small defenders and Bailey Banfield(who?) was too much for Williamson who looked like he needed a rest especially at the end when he got a boot in the mouth.
Lobbe slaughtered us around the ground and marked everything that came his way, Pittonet did some ok things and supported his team-mates well but lacks a bit of class vs a player like Lobbe.
Only a practice game so no need to panic but without Cripps we look a bit rudderless, I know Fyfe wasnt playing but I think Cripps is more important to us given we have so many small bodies.
re: Moore and Sturgess.....didnt see the latter on the ground, Moore wasnt up to it and Casboult was our only real threat up forward. Going to very hard to score vs the Tigers round 1 if we dont get Harry and McGovern fit and on the park and have Betts doing the crumbing.
What was more disappointing tonight was that Freo are not very good....and most of us wouldnt know half their players names.
