Some of us have been suggesting that a bottom four finish would be unacceptable...well if a meaningless practice game has folks upset Bolton's unlikely to last until Round three. 
What it does do is indicate the need for there to be identifiable progress this season otherwise these pressures will become real influences.
In reality we applied no real pressure or intensity during most of that game.
The other major factor was that this was the first game together for so many of the team that the team understanding wasn't there.
Seasoned players who are aware that it's a long season ahead would have been operating at about 75%
I'm sure we'll be much better prepared for the contest come the Richmond game.
Serve that up then and folks will have real reason for complaint
