Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond Post Game Prognostications

[laj]

Agree with all this. I would think this issue would be something of a top priority for Bolton.

EDIT :  As something of an aside, when you consider :

a. that our forward line is either dysfunctional or non existent (depending on your POV)
b. it was our first serious hit out with a new coach and lots of new players
c. we were playing a finalist from last season with the current AA full back as part of their defense, and
d. missed some easy goals

I guess 83 points isn't a terrible effort, is it ? I know the Tiges were undermanned, but still..........

Tigers had Deleido, Maric and Grigg out. Only Deleido was really significant, with due respect to the other two.

I'm looking at the stats now. Effective inside 50s Richmond won 59% to 44%, so we weren't that efficient going in, especially when you consider we had 11 more. We actually took more marks inside 50, 18-12, but weren't that accurate.
