My limited take from just getting back:
Good:
- Great game from Kreuz
- Amigos did the job
- Very good game from Curnow on Ablett
- A good team effort
- Three games, three monkeys off our back
- Metricon is a great place to watch footy, highly recommended
Bad:
- Umpiring in first half was terrible
- We kept falling for the loose man in defence, have we not learned from this yet?
- Kicking for goal an obvious issue, but moreso kicking to the wrong places. Either near boundary or on the goal line (too easy for opposition to punch through). Barker has to go!
- Contested marking, did we actually take one?
- There seemed limited influence from Murphy and Gibbs. They were probably serviceable in and under but did nothing inspiring.
- The players not acknowledging the Carlton faithful who flew up, many with young kids. Pretty poor TBH.
Agree with your comment about Metricon. Great place to watch the game, and the whole place has an excellent atmosphere. The amount of young kids at the game indicates to me that the Suns are going to be a success off the field as well as on.
A nice touch was how they have a supporter raise the club's flag just before the start of the game. They're building some traditions that bind supporters together.
I was also surprised the players didn't go to the crowd, as there was a large number of Carlton supporters there.
A great day, although it did mean not being able to check the Essendon* thread, which took the gloss off the occasion.
