About the right result given how the game panned out.
Pendlebury slaughtered us, 14 touches in the first quarter set the tone for the day and after that we just couldn't hold him, it was a bad mistake not giving Carratts first crack at him.
Top game from Simmo, Murphy has become a good leader, Cripps will take over from him when he's done, Kreuzer worked very hard, Bell was back to his earlier form and Everitt was dangerous.
I thought Henderson played well, I don't get people bagging him.
As for the young blokes Buckley just needs to settle and it will come with experience, Whiley showed more than he has until now and Smith has something to work with, I'm still not sold on Boekhurst although he did well to stand under the mark and cop a hit, if two of that four measure up we'll be OK.
Walks is a shadow of his former self, I'm hoping it's down to fitness.
Edit: I should give Walks a break, three times in the first quarter he led well and we kicked it to his boot laces.
Our general skills really are poor, until we weed out the culprits we won't go far.

The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
