Not a bad result for a club that is being tested and found seriously short of the standards required of modern league football. The skill difference was astounding at times, but there were some good performances from Boekhorst, weitering and kerridge. Good signs.
We are certainly playing a more modern style with much more coordination across half back, dare I say 'structure'. Our forward line is going to be a battle this year mainly because the skills for clean delivery are not up to scratch, and we dont have forwards that can play the modern style of constant coordinated movement. Its going to need our midfield to step up as goal kickers, so the likes of gibbs and thomas will drift forward quite a bit over the season to provide options for overlap 40 metres out or so.
Still, we had no injuries, the key players got a run and we looked coherent, especially in the third quarter.
