Heaps of improvement to come from that game.

Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt were all down on their best form.

A lot of players had poor performances; Astbury, Griffiths, Lloyd, Houli, Grigg, Hunt

I hope we get a KPF and KPD from our two first round picks this year or in two years time we will be stuffed.

Grigg poor !!!, you cant be serious , he was our 2nd or 3rd best

If you think that you are easily pleased by stats.

Have a look at his squibs and up and under kicks.

Commentators saying Cotchin's mark was a bump ball when it clearly bounced off his hands...

I thought Carlscums backs kept us in it. They are a bottom 6 side maybe bottom 4. We are marginally  better but if we play like we did in the third against a good team we will be shredded.

A win is a win but I'm not jumping up and down in amazement at our performance.
Their tall backs did enough to keep Riewoldt and Griffiths quiet. Mate said we are stuffed if we are going to rely on Griffiths all yr but we all knew that anyway.
I have not had a look at the game and dont know if i will even be arsed doing it, but a couple of  tiger mates were really impressed with the potential of most of Their young  talls.

I actually thought when the teams were named they went in way too tall and then they lost lamb and replaced him with another tall.
I suppose thats what its about for them and Bolton searching for a spine and good structure and forgoing a bit of run and grunt in the short term.

I'm not a Grigg fan but I though he was very good last night.

OK, I saw the game live, watched the replay twice & failed to notice either him squibbing or doing any up and under kicks.
Happy to be corrected if you can point me to any

1st quarter the camera was right behind Grigg and you could see Riewoldt leading and screaming for the ball, what did Grigg do, kick it straight up in the air.

You can have your opinion on him, his game, and his squibbing but you can't blatantly lie about his up and under kicks!

Grigg is mega average.  This is worse than a dud as he keeps his spot at the expense of getting games into someone else.  Provides very little with his disposals.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?
