Plenty of positives from the game. We are a bottom 2 side but more likely staring down the barrel of another wooden spoon everyone needs to put things in perspective.
All the kids showed something.
Marchbank massive tick
Macredie bargain at his pick
SPS showed he has the tools to be a gun
Weitering!!
Murphy and Kreuzer back to their best which is hard for people to acknowledge on here.
Forward line!! We nearly hit the 100pt mark.
Giving our draft picks a go instead of the recycled players that have shown nothing last year and preseason.
Cons
Armfield has look shot this year still to many players like White Rowe THOMAS!! in the side that need to be filtered out. Rowe should only play if their is a match up for him but he will end up playing every game if fit.
Defending - yes we know the backline is to tall but would rather Macredie get games at the expense of White.
Our ability to shut down the oppositions best players so if you play Supercoach captain whoever is the best player playing us for the round!!
Interestingly 132 points is the most conceded by Carlton since Bolton joined.
It is a very important point given we started the BB rebuild from team defence first.
We did show some good signs, especially the kids and scoring 14 goals, which should've been 17, goes to show we took our focus off team defence.
Plus watching 3 defenders go up simultaneously to spoil showed we are not cohesive down back...and I wonder what the secretive planning was for during the off season.
