When you're watching Liam Jones in Bulldogs colours this weekend, remember that we effectively got Lewis Young as a direct swap, and I think we're miles ahead.

Seeing Young stich up Riewoldt more than once was a joy to behold, but if I recall correctly, seeing him and Weiters butcher the footy late in the last wasn't pleasant at all. Mind you in that moment I was too busy plucking what remains of my hair to remember any specific names!

1. Curnow
Rd 1: Carlton vs Richmond
Rating: B
We played better and out-scored our opponents for 3 of the 4 quarters. We led for most of the night. We played a very defensive game, pretty well for most of the night.
We have a LOT to improve, but we were better for longer.
Votes:
[3] Lewis Young

[2] Harry McKay
[1] Patrick Cripps
[1] Sam Docherty
[1] Jacob Weitering

[0.5] Tom de Koning
[0.5] Charlie Curnow
[0.5] Ed Curnow
[0.5] Adam Cerra
Explanations:
[3] Lewis Young: Totally dominated his opponent. Young was really strong in the air and showed great maturity.
[2] George Hewett: Brilliant early, and while he fell out of the game somewhat after half time, he was still our most effective midfielder on the night.
[2] Harry McKay: H took 10 marks and was the best forward on the ground. Richmond had nothing that could go with him. Pity about his kicking, and dropping that last mark. That would have been the thing that won us the game.
[1] Patrick Cripps: Cripps struggled somewhat early, as we got thrashed in the ruck. However, when the heat was on, Cripps lifted and really made a difference. 6 tackles to go with 25 possessions and 7 clearances.
[1] Sam Docherty: 25 possessions for Doc and the goal that really made the difference.
[1] Jacob Weitering: Beat Lynch on the night and took 11 marks on him.
[1] Adam Saad: The run he provides is excellent, but he tried just a little too hard at times to do it himself.
[1] Nick Newman: An excellent job on Martin, especially in the air.
[1] Mitch McGovern: 2.5 really good quarters, his last 15 minutes were almost disastrous. His marking was excellent in defence.
[0.5] Tom de Koning: Gave his all in the ruck, although beaten. However, it was his marking and his athleticism that impressed.
[0.5] Charlie Curnow: There were times on Thursday when Charlie was very poor, particularly when it comes to chasing and tacking. But then an opportunity to score comes along and bam! Could have got at least 20 frees if the Umps had looked at his direction.
[0.5] Ed Curnow: Pretty quiet early, with one memorably poor kick. But when the heat was on, he moved into the midfield and really made a difference.
[0.5] Adam Cerra: Not a bad game from Cerra, but he didn’t stand out like he can do. But then, we didn’t get the ball put in our direction. Will be better next week.
Honourable Mentions:
Oliver Hollands: Probably was the better of our 2 youngsters, he didn’t look out of place.
Matthew Kennedy: Like all of our mid, he suffered because we didn’t get first hand on the ball. However, he was a consistent performer on the night and worked hard to stem the influence of the Richmond mids.
