So your thoughts on Pittonet, Young and Kemp?
I think we're going to be victims of our own lack of development in the key back posts. We're weiters or bust.
And Pitto has done nothing to show why on earth we game him a 4 year deal.
Game and a half of preseason suggests we're a long way off being ready for the season that starts next week. I hope we can flick the switch and suddenly play competent football but there hasn't been a lot this far to suggest that is going to happen.
Maybe it will. I hope it does. But right now I don't think we'll beat either Brisbane or Richmond. Sorry if I offended your self righteousness
Pittonet not good enough to beat Gawn, not many are.
Young isn't up to standard
Kemp will be ok in time, will be a borderline selection.
Does this mean we will be rubbish against the tigers? Not at all, We won't beat the lions. I expect us to beat Richmond though. If we don't it's not the end of the world.
To say we won't win a game early is a massive overreaction.
i would like to see us take the game on like we did at some stages last year, particulary the St Kilda game.
Early = first 2 games. Based on our preseason, I don't think we'll win either. Richmond aren't good, but poor form is poor form. It's not the result, it's the style of play. My opinion. I hope I'm wrong.
Midfield was insipid apart from Crippa. The skills were very sloppy. 20+ F50 marks for the Dees suggests 1. A disorganised Backline. And 2. A distinct lack of pressure upfield.
Forward delivery, well... enough said about it really.
Young is a big concern. He looks lost far too often. Kemp is being asked to play a role that he shouldn't. I actually really liked Harry as back up ruck with TDK as number 1. Thought Harry was best on for us despite his goal kicking shit show, and a lot of that was to do with his work around the ground as ruck. I don't think Pitto has a place in the side barring injury.
Not a good preseason for us. It doesn't mean much, but we've shown nothing. At least the media love fest will stop now. We'll be well and truly written off
