Tall Durds is doing okay as well...

[Gointocarlton]

Cincotta 34 disposals, Dow 27. Bins was OK, Durds Solid, Our Ruckman are all in hospital with leather poisoning.
I was a low scoring affair with lots of behinds in the second half. Blues win by 9 pts.

I thought Kemp was very good again.
Akui had some good moments.
Dow was good as usual. He got sandwiched in q4. Looked like head involved to me. Hopefully not and he's ok.
LoB kicked a nice late running goal. Ronke is very handy.

Wish I could say otherwise, but... Dominic A doesn't look like it. Sadly.

sadly he would likely be going better in another clubs system.

I dont know how the pies do it.  Every player they bring in seems to be even at worst a vanilla flavoured contributor that makes good decisions and is a good athlete/competitor.  We haven't turned a prospect into a player since zach tuohy.

Watched the reserves and actually found it to be slightly depressing given we struggled to beat a no-name Richmond side at home.

Sam Durdin was probably our best and is a solid backup if one of Young or Weitering were to get injured.

Other than that it’s Dow, Obrien, Kemp, Carroll and Cincotta, however the last three of that list continue to make a lot of mistakes that would directly result in goals at AFL level, so unfortunately there’s not a lot to turn to this week.

Whilst not like for like, it will be interesting to see if they finally give Dow a go ahead of Honey, Curnow or Fisher.

Lemmey, Binns, Akuei, Mirkov seem to be a way off, but all could develop into very good players.

Owies?

That was a very undermanned, inexperienced Richmond outfit and for all the AFL experience and high numbers of some individuals, we still couldn't put them away. Don't read too much into the form line from this one..... I could have got a kick out there. More positives for Tigers.

Yes agreed, I found it very disappointing.

At AFL / VFL level Nthmond are functionally ruckless and rudderless at the moment and we struggled to assert any dominance whatsoever.

What a depressing read!  The cupboard is really bare.
