Lost the second game to North.

Fisher was BOG in the first half, looked awesome but was a bit quieter in the second half.

Pickett had a very good game. He was busy in the first game but it didn't come off, had a much better game against North.

Kennedy and Dow were prominent again. The way North used Cunnington after the first few minutes goes to show just how unsuited on ballers are to AFLX but Kennedy got a heap of ball in both games. He wasn't as clean in the second game as he was against Melbourne though.

Lebois wasn't bad. Hope he can remain injury free put in some good performances.

I think the format does showcase kicking skills. (Or expose the lack of them). We are so much better than we used to be but some guys tonight looked a little behind (marchbank Kennedy Kerridge) all of whom have skills in other areas...

Already acknowledged that he has poor disposal by foot.

Yep but he gets so much of the ball. Hoping for a carrots/ed kicking transformation....

Was he a poor kick at GWS? Or was it just an average night?

I think he was talking about Kerridge but Kennedy is normally a good kick. Tonight I reckon he was good but he just made a few skill errors in a row. Other than that he looked good

Looks like Norf had their best team out there.

Watched Lady Bird with my wife. How did we go? Charlie dunk it? Samo deliver any no look assists? What about LoB doing a Steph Curry impersonation?

The same happened last year and it took about six weeks before they could actually run a live stream with no issues.
Maybe there are more than six of us who want to watch it.
The AFL is a tiny tots organization compared with every other major sporting league I can think of.



Crap streaming here in Beijing Blue Sombrero.


Stream was good in Singapore.

Pity we couldn't get a win. Be nice to actually win a preseason fixture for once.
Our struggles to create scoring opportunities were evident again tonight. Especially in the 1st game.
Not sure if it's our skill or our speed, but we struggled to find players in space.

Thought Kennedy was good, even though he ran out of puff.
After a slow start, loved what I saw from Dow. Although a couple of costly late turnovers.
He missed some targets, but they obviously have a high regard for O'Brien's kicking skills (given he was the designated defensive kicker).
Continue to like what I see from Williamson and MacReadie, although they both struggled defensively on occasions.
Pickett struggled to get near it, but still shows very exciting glimpses. Same with Fisher.
Lebois showed some nice glimpses.
I thought Lamb and O'Shea were reasonable. And Kerridge pretty good.
Would like to have seen more from Marchbank, SOJ and Polson.

Apparently you're still allowed to throw the ball.
Boundary umpire in 2nd game was blind.

Stream was good in Singapore.

Just logged back in to discover that the replays available don't include either Carlton game. Maybe the fact I called them a bunch of amateurs at Fox who can't even reproduce something a pirate streamer can do from his lounge room made them choke my team off.
Regardless, it reads as though I didn't miss much.
