Go and watch the Northern blues then.

We lost the game at half forward. Houli et al ran the ball out with ease creating a loose man all the way to their forward line.
Smith is not ready for AFL, should never have played. Workrate is poor.
Any team watching that game knows how to beat carlton. How our players respond depends on them.

Why was our 19 year old pick 60 chosen ahead if our 21 year old pick 19?

Stupid selection.

Yep. Create the loose man across half back, pick off the incoming bomb, switch play with ease and then run down field with uncontested, no pressure, plenty of space footy and score.

Did it really have an effect on the outcome?

Not disagreeing but you would think then that if it was so easy for the opposition, that we would be flogged. 4 goals is not a flogging.

Tiges looked liked they were doing circle work for half the game it came out that easy.

@Padre - watch for when we play man on man vs the loose man in defence.
It doesn't happen for 4 quarters but when we allow it or try to play that way, it's game over.

Not relevant IMO. I'd like to think our selectors ignore where a player was drafted when they pick the team.

+1

Additionally, Clem slid because of weight issues.

You're not going to dominate the centre clearances 17-9 like we did Thursday night too often.
Yet we still lost to an average team by 27 points. Don't be confused, Richmond were very average Thursday night. We just let them play the final 3 quarters on their terms.

:donk:

I don't doubt Smith will be a player for us, but why did we take BB at pick 19? You don't pluck a 21 year old out of the WAFL at pick 19 unless you absolutely expect him to play round 1 and make an impact. The fact that he didn't make a team sorely missing outside run is a major concern.

It's probably just fitness concerns. They shoved him into the middle in the second half of the VFL game and had him chasing tail the rest of the game.

I have full confidence they're looking to maximise his output for the whole season.

I'd hazard to say that it's a sin that keeps on sinning. We are so desperate to be competitive that not only do we put the future on hold but we see things in players that aren't there. The kids will take time but we need them now - it's a schizophrenic response that creates all sorts of problems.

You'd think so, but sadly, possibly not
