Final margin is 'acceptable'. However, look a little deeper and we got absolutely flogged.
Scoring shots - 19 to 32.
Our straight kicking (for a change) flattered us a bit.
Plenty of encouraging signs from the kids, but also reminders that they are still kids.
SPS - Brilliant early, vanished after half time.
Pickett - Showed signs of brilliance, missing 95% of the time.
Curnowfides - One of his worst games in his short career.
Plowman/Marchbank looked very good down back...but still made some silly errors.
It will be and up and down season so straight yourself in.

The Tiggers looked ready to begin the season, we didn't, in fact we looked confused and underdone.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Our number 1's were good tonight. Especially pleased with Kreuzer's game. Just a workhorse. Anyway, positives were a couple of the kids. Macredie not a bad first up. At least they show a bit of toe, have a bit of courage.
Negatives were our horrific turnovers. Try a few more kids and get rid of guys like Armfield and Thomas.

Had a bad feeling as soon as I saw Weits up forward. They probably got half a dozen goals from our lack of composure in front of goals but I realize it's a 'rob Peter to pay Paul' situation as he ended up being out leading goal scorer despite being injured the first time he went near the ball.
Expect a bottom 4 finish ... and Carlton won't be far behind ????

Pretty ordinary game, and hard to see Richmond making finals. Our best were kruezer who was outstanding, Murphy played four quarters, docherty did OK later in the game, plowman looked good. Marxhbank is a fine mark, but his decision making will need to improve.
Cripps popping up in number 11 confused for a moment: high up in the Olympic stand its hard to make out. He is underdone and hopefully is OK after taking a couple of knocks.
Sadly we looked as disorganized as ever through the middle and across half forward. We don't have any obvious answers and playing weitering at chf is not sustainable for long. He is only 19!
Still, we kicked mostly straight which is nice. Armfields goal was as flukey as they get.
And pretending to be neutral, martin put on a clinic at times. Terrific game.
On to next week...
