No improvement at all from last year,  we are still throwing away winnable games through panic!

Way too predictable and our kick-in tactic is beyond a joke.

Key points
(1) Lob & Owies are absolutely headless & we can’t rely on these guys
(2) Question marks on Acres and not sure he’s an upgrade on Cottrell at all
(3) Silvagni, McGovern, Martin and Fisher have the talent but must do more
(4) lack of pace and explosive players remains an issue - any of Honey, Dow, Durdin & Cunningham will help
(5) Holland and Cowan ok, will be players in time
(6) Ed C simply can’t kick - must handball at all options

Panic?

You must have watched a different game!

We should have killed the ball that Lynch marked but, until then, we had control of the game.  Similarly, Motlop’s handball was the right choice in most circumstances but not this time … but how many games has he played?



It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Seemed like we started defending the lead with 5 min to go
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Considering the ruck, tackling, and i50 differential, we not only held our own, but were efficient. We can all find many moments that could be improved.

2pts is 2pts. A result that goes against the odds as underdogs.

Doc is demanding the rd1 inspirational sage title. 👏🏼

Interesting to see how we handle the ruck going forward.

I can’t help but think we should have played two rucks

Thought both defenses were well on top...58 points each on a fine night with even contributions in the midfield was ordinary and the game was marred by poor skills and some very average decision making by both teams.
Young improved as the game went on......

Nankervis 37 HO 11Tackles.
Make him compete and it looks quite different.

I think his job is to just nullify the other teams ruckman and if he breaks even its a win, he is very slow but like I said before seemed to have his big frame in every contest and was probably one of their better players.
We probably needed Pittonet to bang bodies with him and soften him up so  TDK to take more advantage late in the game when the heat was on..

Depends on if you rate Richmond as this big improver that everyone seems to see them as with Taranto and Hopper as inclusions...
I dont see it and reckon we probably blew 2 points to a midpack team......a few of the Tiger golden oldies are cooked imo and I reckon they will struggle as the season goes on.
