How did you rate the team’s performance against the Swans?
Overall, I was very pleased with the whole process revolving around the match. Obviously, we’ve had some injuries in the pre-season to key players, so to be able to, firstly, rest our senior blokes and not risk further injury last weekend, was a plus. More particularly, however, to be able to play the younger blokes and give them the experience of travel, was really good.
We ended up having as much of the footy as what they did throughout the match, and we won the stoppage duels, which is something they’re renowned for. They just had a little bit more finishing class, which made the difference in the end.
Who were some of the better Tiger players on the day?
Howat B.O.G., Foley, Sugar, Moore (containing O'Keefe), King, Harts.
Our rucks competed well . . . we got annihilated in the tap-outs, (54 to 8) as you would expect against Everitt and Jolley. But around the ground I thought we beat them. Adam Pattison had 15 possessions, took six marks and kicked a goal, while young Angus Graham kicked two goals and did some solid work.
Who was the most impressive of the first-year players?
Andy Collins (up against Brett Kirk)

Reading the full article, it was interesting what he said about Moore and Collins. It seems a cert that Kel will play in Rd 1.

He did keep O'keefe very quiet but he is a big game player and with all due respect to Kel, I don't think O'keefe was at his best by any means.

We didn’t have Kent last season anyway, and the main reason we got him into the Club late last year was to add a bit of forward-line depth.

Fair point, tiga, but he still kept him quiet. What else can you expect of him?

If Kingsley kicks a few once he comes back it'll become "we always thought he could become a valuable contributing member to our forward line" lol
