We're down at 3/4 time, but we kicked 3 - 16 - 34
19 scoring shots for 3 goals.
It just keeps getting better ::)
So, no goalkickers pressing their claims. :(
Have we gone a whole off-season without kicking the football?
Perhaps the 'alarmist' youtube video was right.
Final score:
Carlton: 6 - 22 - 58
Footscray: 12 - 7 - 79
We had so many more shots, but bad kicking is bad football. :(
Cowan may have been reported. :( >:D
Hmmm...........goal kicking aside, anyone show some form worthy of promoting to the firsts?
Such as Camporeale boys, Wade Derksen, Taylor Byrne, Flynn Young, Hudson O'Keeffe, Jordan Boyd ?
No report as yet. Some of the guys on BF were not impressed by the game or many of our players.

Despite the scoreboard, there were names positively mentioned in that summary that we should buoyed by: Boyd, Byrne, Camporeale boys, Carroll, Cowan and Young. Good, also, that Acres got some game time.
Yes, we were clearly the better team. There seems to be a mini trend where both AFL and VFL teams play good footy and cannot capitalize.
