Well the depth players didnt really put their best foot forward. Perhaps we dont have the depth we think we have. Anyhow, its a praccy match, lets hope we put up more of a fight next time.
We should at least wait until the end of the 1stq in R1 before we draw any firm conclusions. Anything before that is too early IMO.

He's out of camera, but I'm guessing Doc ran 20, 30 ? metres to remonstrate with the kid. No nastiness, just letting him know his tackle wasn't appreciated. Newnes was quick to arrive as well.

And I'm still a fan of the white clash jumper. The best out of an average bunch IMO.

An undisciplined act that caused a reversal. Simmo should have received a 50m penalty for being taken out after marking and, had that been awarded, Doc may not have been so demonstrative. Our leaders should fly the flag but they should also show discipline and not gift the opposition an inside 50.

Teague seems rather old school to this untrained observer, and I'm guessing we'll be seeing plenty of this under his watch. Sometimes, giving away a free seems like a small price to pay.

At the weekend we gave away two on the near wing that probably ended up being closer to 75m penalties that resulted in shots at goal, one was on the back half of the wing and ended up 10m inside the 50m arc! Then a little later we got a free kick on the HFF just 20m outside our F50 arc and two Freo players ran right past our player unaccompanied by any Carlton players and nothing was awarded.
It's a rule that umpires rarely get right and it changes the coarse of games!

That is a bad rule LP; a 50m penalty for an inconsequential act is bizarre! However, I’m in favour of 50m penalties when a player is taken high after (or during) marking. After Polly Farmer’s CTE diagnosis, I expected the head to be sacrosanct once more (although the soft penalty handed out to Williams suggests otherwise).

If we're going to drag ourselves out of the cellar we need serious, step wise improvement from our younger brigade, we can't expect much more from established senior players like Cripps, Murphy, Kreuzer etc. It's time for blokes like Dow, Fisher, Setterfield, Kennedy, Stocker, SPS etc etc to extract the digit and step up. They can't hide behind the youth tag any longer. Some of these blokes are entering their fourth year. It's time.
So in next weeks practice match, these blokes need to come both ready to play and have some bloody impact or I fear yet another long, wasted season.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Never a truer word spoken. They do NOT work hard enough. They damn well should for the money they're on, practice match or not.
