Pls tell me cripps is not injured. Went off after his goal and hasn't returned. Is in the huddle but without shoes. I'm worried!! ????

By the looks of thing Walker and Cripps played the first half and Whiley and Everitt the second

Love the big Lance could use a leader up forward these days

How frustrating is it when we continually find a way through half forward , and there is no one in the forward 50? Seriously, the idea is to kick goals , hard when there is no one there

Casboult goes best when he's both forward and 2nd ruck. Running around the ground clunking marks increases his confidence. It's then he often kicks goals when he's forward. Always plays his best footy in that role. Often when he's just simply stuck forward he's no-where near as good or even $hit like tonight. Not a star as a forward alone, nor as a ruck alone, but in the dual role he's valuable in the combined roles. We leave him simply forward all year and we won't see the best of him. Plus he's going to get the no.1 defender this year for the first time if he plays just as  forward all year so he needs the dual roles.

Nice goal, but hard work to create the chances. Is Everitt even playing? Can't remember seeing him yet?

Unfortunately, yes. His dropped sitter in their goal square took the wind out of our sails.

Might be the year for honourable losses.

I hope the team develops enough "true grit" to push through things like the Everitt dropped mark.

Going to be a long year with no forward line and going to get very frustrating watching the ball rebound out after our mids have worked so hard...thought Graham took another step forward tonight to becoming a very good player.
Boekhorst played his best game so far for the club and Weitering looks like a 300 game player.....

Kerridge looks like a steal and could be our leading goalkicker the way things are looking....its a pity Foster hasnt shown anything as we need a leading FF who can give us
some structure down forward....

Not a bad effort though tonight and at least we were not blown away and hung on when it looked like we were going to get hammered...

Can't stand the way we still rush kicks when there's absolutely no need and they end up going straight to opposition players.

For god's sake show a bit of composure. Not sure how BB is gonna slap that habit out of the usual suspects.
