Just watched the first quarter on Kayo: fair dunkum it is nice to see!
[1] Although we dominated the first quarter, there was only one listed player who had much ball at all: Setterfield. Setters got a lot of the pill, but he was the normal Setterfield. Not sure what to take from that performance, except that he was on Mathieson for a fair bit of the quarter.
[2] Our ruck issues will remain with us for a while. Young Mirkov shows real promise, but he doesn't know a lot about the caper. Give him a couple of seasons and he could be a weapon. However, at the moment, he has real limitations in what he knows how to do.
[3] Crocker was very good, and he did something few Carlton forward do well: he leads. He played on Cockatoo and tore him a new one. Cockatoo had no idea how to be a defender.
[4] Our disposal this week was very good, and mostly from the VFL types. if the seniors could dispose of the ball like that, we would have beaten Brisbane easily last night.
[5] Radovanovic (71) continued to impress after last week. He isn't the tallest, but he positions himself well and moves the ball on as quickly as he can. I was impressed.
[6] Wooller had a really good game, managing to get space, taking some strong marks and kicking well. I really liked his game.
[7] Brisbane were a rabble. They had more AFL experience out there than we did, but they did very little. Their mistakes we fed on, and we fed well.
