Pre-Game 2021 AFL Rnd 1: Richmond vs Carlton.

[PaulP]

I thought from limited game time LOB played OK in the pre-season runs. He got caught out of position once or twice under this new stand rule, but he wasn't alone in that regard, of course it may be that LOB is a designated sacrificial lamb under that rule, well run teams are bound to have players who are preferred/designated to stand the mark.

In my experience, fans rarely credit improvement, while hanging on to a player's past mistakes like a Wobbegong!

I didn't watch him that closely in the PS games, so I can't really comment. I think expectations have to be adjusted given that he's played no AFL football for ages, and coming up against the reigning premiers.
