Quote from: Lods – on
Acres (31), Hewett (29+9 tackles), Lord (31+11 tackles), Young ( 21 +2 goals)  all did well.
Ison coming along nicely.
If only Ben C could kick ::) (0 goals 4 behinds) and his field kicking isn't any better.

Flynn Riley may be a better ruckman that both Reidy and HOK.

Given the current thinking around our midfield it's probably going to be one of Hewett or Lord...and the younger man may well get the nod.

Those four should all come in IMO and maybe Moir?
Outs: McKay Byrne Elijah Hollands Ollie Hollands Evans
Did I also hear Gov was injured late in the game?

Carlton: 11 - 19 - 85
Collingwood: 7 - 12 - 54
If we could kick straight, then we might have won by what we should have.
On the other hand, we have managed our 1st win for the season.

[1] Reidy didn't play. Is he being held over for next round in the seniors? Probably.
Flynn Riley, on the other hand, had 33 taps, easily more than both Collingwood rucks. 4 clearances and 13 possessions was a good night for him.
Duson O'Keefe, on the other hand, had 7 possessions, with 5 marks, 1 clearance and 18 taps. Not as poor as he has been, so a step in the right direction.

[2] No Derksen either. Probably also held over. However, it meant that we seriously lacked KP players.
If there was a reason why we couldn't slaughter Collingwood, that is probably it. We are so short of guys who can be a focal point, that it is frightening.

[3] George Hewett: 29 possessions, 9 clearances, 9 tackles.
Cooper Lord: 31 possessions, 5 clearances, 11 tackles.
Blake Acres: 31 possessions, 2 clearances, 2 tackles.
This is the sort of response we were looking for.

Dissapointed we didnt put the foot on the throat and kill them. 

Our best have been Hewett, acres, lord. 

Ison shows promise. Moir doesnt do enough bjt has poise.  Flynn young is creative but pace is an issue.  Ben camporeale has been busy without being outstanding.  Charleson shows something which is better than nothing.

Saad hasn't been bad.  Just not great.

O keefe has been serviceable but hes glacial. 

Both sides havent maximised their chances and we are down to a 28 point margin. 

Im convinced our conditioning is woeful.
