Did anyone actually watch the game?

Would love a report, rumour has it Cripps and Holman did well.

What a bunch of pussies. We lose a nothing scratch match by less than three goals and the sky is falling....

No Judd, no Carrots, no Gibbs (ditto Walker, Hendo, others) and (from what I gather) only 1 ruck?

It means jack.


Its not about the loss Fly...couldnt care less about the result but its the same old same old down forward....Waite and not much else unless we play Henderson down forward and that leaves a hole down back....

The Kennedy vs Judd situation has been well discussed and I understand why the club traded Kennedy, the problem I have is that after that we didnt try and replace him until we had the tall draft where we got Mitchell, McCarthy etc...
Casboult and Rowe were the cheap gambles that have not paid off so far and dont look paying off either, they are not specialist KP forwards more just bit part players who are jack of all trades but masters of none and when it comes to KP forwards you need the real thing not cheap fill ins.
Its like buying a J11 Chery FWD or Great Wall FWD and expecting it to last and perform like a Toyota Landcruiser, either they fall part or just dont go at all...
There hasnt been a Podsiadly available as a low cost experienced player to cheat with like Geelong had and we are one short down the spine.....
Its going to be that one player that makes us midpack rather than top 4-6 IMO.

Take Talia instead of Lucas and Henderson can play forward. Bad Bad Bad selection.
Forget the past, put in place a plan to get Boyd. You've got two years to get it done CFC.

I d rather Cameron. He's got mongrel, great both sides, speed, can turn on a dime, and kick goals

Wouldn't it be nice EB if there was a surprise in the pack that we didn't see coming? Like if Rowe had blitzed it today and snared 10 goals. If Menzel helped himself to 40 possies and 5 goals. It's been too predictable for too long.

We are screwed, blued and tattooed.  I doubt we'll finish much higher than 12th.  No forwards.

Would have loved to be see such surprises JK...... However I'd be happier that they eventuate in round 1onwards. Admittedly it's slightly slightly slightly slightly more hope than logic.

The only trick in our book DU is Daisy. To a lesser extent though I must include Sammy Docherty and Andrejs Everitt!!

And I hope Kruizer makes me eat my words sideways and backwards and has a ripper season

Did Casboult play yesterday?

I agree, practice matches don't mean anything. I am concerned about our growing injury list though.

Cripps was again at the bottom of packs and burrowed in. He definitely does not look out of his depth at all.

Holman was on for parts of the second half and had little impact.  Nick Graham is 12 months ahead of him in exposure to the big time and is moving along very nicely.  He dominated in the early game.

Casboult continues to disappoint. Has no running patterns up forward, clunks a big mark once or twice a match to give you hope, then does nothing much after that. Sticks needs to move out of his presidents office and teach Caz how to play CHF.

Rowe showed a bit down back, but you worry when you look there and see he and Watson holding down the fort!!  Jammo was quite good but tended to move ( or be drawn ) further up the ground. 

Krueser showed glimpses of good form up forward with quick hands, pace at the ball and heavy work.  He might be warming to the task.

Thomas and Everitt were relatively quiet, neither did anything that made you sit up and say wow.  Murphy was in second gear.  Garlett did nothing, Simpson is in good form,Menzel flashed in and out, nothing more.

White was used at both ends of the ground. At one stage he ran backwards into a pack, kept his eye on the ball and didn't flinch. Better than I'd do after what he had!!

Waite gathered momentum as the match progress but insisted on trying to take the hanger from behind.

Buckley and Scotland will make way for Walker and Yarran, Armfield had no influence and Curnow was mainly on Cooney.

Our midfield will fire up when the real stuff starts, but I'm concerned about how we are going to consistently kick winning scores.

I thought the Recruiting of talls, Mitchell/McCarthy was one year too late.
It was obvious we need Key Talls down back and the next year we picked up Mitchell/McCarthy and trusted and trusted with out result.
Our recruitment needs to improve. The presence of MickM helps. Great pick-ups this year: (Everitt, Cripps, Doherty, Thomas).
I figure Temay to be a great type of guy, but if he does not make an impression in 2015 - will he be a wasted pick. 
We will be watching to see if mid-size selections Reynolds, Johnson prove to be good judgement!

Do you think we should still account for Port next week MBB?
Ignorance is bliss.
