I didn't really go into watching this game believing we should win by a lot due to GCSunsets losing so many on the trot. Recently they only narrowly went down to Rottingwood, Dishlickers and Dawks. And the talent they have on the paddock is bordering on elite.
Positives:
Headed a number of times and wrestled back the lead. And we were in front when the final siren sounded.
Kids - The Burner, Cow, Deano, Jags and Willo.
Young - Whipping boy for some but played with confidence and filled his role(s) well.
Newbies - Ainsworth, Florent & Hayward. And The Derk well worth persevering with, there's something there.
Concerns:
Kempies goal kicking confidence. I still believe he should be given time in the middle as when the aggott hits the deck he hunts it so well. Did a lot of really good stuff at ground level up forward.
Newey's hammy.
Lapses. Obviously a work in progress.
Notice to the Carlton Shop: Load up on 3s and 9s. The Byner is a fave of we fans. Must get a Rising Star nomination before the year is out.

I thought Kemp played ok deeper up the ground and is still creating opportunities but his confidence in kicking for goal is completely shot. His mobility is impressive but I wonder if he needs to concentrate on doing the basics better and less of the flashy low percentage stuff.
I thought we still have some passengers - usual suspects like Cerra was noticeably a step off everything again and contributed nothing.
Williams was very ordinary against GC. Id be playing Charleson as my first option from the VFL to replace Newman.
