Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond Post Game Prognostications

[cookie2]

Grumble faced rubbish - brilliant.

Yeah, Bolts is a breath fresh air at the pressed.  Maybe said "high performance team" once too many times, though he did note he was repeating himself.  But you can see why the players have quickly adopted his way of things.

That was a class performance by BB and should reassure us that we are in very good hands to go forward. He gets to the point, does not waffle around and gives the strong impression that clear plans have been set and are being followed. A man who knows exactly what he wants and communicates that to the rest of the coaching and playing group. They know what is expected and what their individual parts are in the whole thing.

Also mightily impressed by Weitering's interview. Very mature and a young man who we can be proud to have in our ranks! Murph also gave a good performance in his interview.

As to the match, again Weitering's great debut was the stand out obviously but also Murph's captain's example was terrific for me.

It was disappointing to lose the game but we showed glimpses of what we can become eventually and I don't want to dwell too much on our skill lapses and game plan stuff ups - we are still struggling a bit no doubt in adapting to the zone defence with some confusion certainly apparent at times.

Very early days I know but I feel better about our future than I have for many years and can't wait to see more next week. 

Also a very encouraging report from the VFL - many thanks Baggers.
