One thing we agree on Fly, Sniffers got an unbelievable run tonight, that deliberate in the last against SOJ was criminally bad.

Weiters absolutely is a lock to get back in this team. He is still better than Marchbank/Plowman and many others and in any case you would have him ahead of Mullet or O'Shea.

There is no chance that there is no spot for Weiters, the guy is going to be a gun

The final margin flattered the Saints.

We went to sleep in Q3 and they got quite a few goals from our blunders eg Jones And O'Brien.

If they're top 8, we're top 4!

Yep

Dow played with a smile on his face tonight. Shame about his front tooth
That was Paddy's warm up RSN performance 

There were certainly some lackluster patches in the second half. All in all though a solid run against quality opposition. Only jlt and all that but a win for a young side is priceless. We had more players out than Saints yet we held our own. I love that we lost the turnover stat too and de remained reasonable.  I hope these are all signs of the effectiveness of our preparation.

I hope Garlett is OK. He had a few flashes of brilliance and will be better for the run. I thought Kennedy was solid and Byrne worked his way into it.

Jonesy just continues to impress in defense. I hope the Carlton shop's got plenty of #14 merchandise. I also noticed how many of the guys looked (on tv) like they were giving instruction. Perhaps our leadership density really is increasing. That will make for a super learning environment for our newbies and youngsters.

Enjoy the tiny wins bluebaggers

We rotated 6 tonight vs Saints 8. It was our choice (Bolts likes to push them beyond limits preseason) which might account for a few of the fade out or them looking like they had fresher legs at times....because they did.

Not a fan of Weitering going forward tbh but that's where he'll likely go in view of the numerous defensive options we appear to have. Agree, the likely guy he would replace would be Harry who has played very little senior footy to date and may face further development in the NBs this year.

Agree. A very high quality player with exceptional intercept marking and kicking.
Will easily be our best defender in a year or two.
Liam Jones still making simple errors

Probably explains much about why the Saints dominated the midfield for long periods, mainly via Stephens from what I could make out. We held up though in the end and maybe gained a lot from the experience? I thought, to our great credit, we had a resurgence in the second half of the final quarter to gain the win.
