A very young and inexperienced side tonight. Alot is resting on our few senior players now to drag the newbies along. Fighting back a bit in the last was the best sign. It showed some steel and persistence. Add in the high tackle count and it demonstrates that they are getting the message.
Lynch put on a clinic. He and wright make a pretty dominant old fashioned forward line that is hard to stop when the ball is getting thumped down there with little pressure.
Our forward line remains a shambles, mostly due to a lack of work rate. Casboult just doesnt move enough, preferring to wrestle. He looks more capable when up the ground, but we know what he is and he isnt going to improve. Pickett did some nice things but needs to convert to make the most of few opportunities. Our kicking generally was poor and it is shown up on a fast dry track like docklands.
Murphy, docherty our best, with gibbs putting in. We fell away in the middle badly after that. Well done to silvagni for a four quarter game.
Umpiring has become confusing this year. Holding the ball, that bane of many a fan is more baffling than ever. The propensity to tap the ball on has also made throwing even more endemic.
Long season...
