Thomas is running his contract out before going into a coaching role somewhere. Pickett played his first game along with SPS and Macreadie - that's AFL football NOT just for Carlton.
The slack we cut Jack last year needs to apply evenly across the list.
Thought Marchbank showed plenty - made some silly errors but will be better for the run. Charlie C is learning about having a run through the middle not just up forward in year two. Weiters was wonderful given the service and pressure.
Yep
First game together under real match pressure for a lot of our side.
Once that understanding develops there is potential to improve rapidly as a team.
With greater support and awareness of strengths and limitations we'll see a reduction in some of those skill errors, poor decisions and turnovers.
