Torch, I already posted the best players, no-one ended up seriously injuried, looks like Polak just got winded, Petts got crunched, but I think he is fine and Sarge is ok.

MT said our turnovers are what killed us... they are our own worst enemy  :scream

Thank MT  ;)

Sarge seems ok, he came back on in the last qtr and kicked a goal  :)

I must have been at another game, I could have sworn Meyer kicked two in quick succession in the second. For what it's worth, I had them as:

Pettifer 2, Meyer 2, Polak 2, Schulz 2, Tuck 1, Hartigan 1.

Back from the match:

Best was Pettifer by a mile. He was the only one who played well each qtr.

I agree with MT that turnovers were the killer for us, as well as bad kicking for goal.

Injuries: Moore got injured in the 1st qtr and did not return to the field. It was a leg injury, either a knee strain or a corkie, in my considered medical opinion. It wasn't easy to tell.

Schulz showed a fair bit, but missed some chances. Polak impressed me at times. Raines was good in the 2nd half. Joel was pretty good, and Tiva far from the worst. Johnson okay as well.

Gaspar made at least 3 shocking mistakes,and was generally below par for a lot of the game, but then backed it up with a good last qtr.

Graham tried, but is a long, long,long way off senior AFL standard. Anyone expecting him to play effectively in the seniors this year is fooling themselves.Look for him in 2008, perhaps. Patto didn't play because of a corkie.

And Fwoy, Meyer did have a 5 minute cameo, kicking 2 goals.

Thanks for that Gordon  :cheers

Can I ask how did Polak go playing up the ground?
Who did the ruck work? Tuck?  :help :rollin

Polak was very "clean" in his ball handling, moved better than I expected, and looked comfortable on the forward line. He also got up fairly high in a couple of pack situations.I'm warming to this guy, and think he's going to very handy this year, both forward and back.
He just doesn't seem to fumble, and he's a one-grab mark.

Ruck work was done by Knobel and Graham.

That's good to hear, hopefully if we need him, he'll be a good option up forward.

Was Knobel and Graham alright or are we missing Simmo badly?

I thought it was a pretty uninspiring game. Only a practice match though.
Our decision making killed us, constantly trying the handballing one-two but often to a player who was surrounded and who had no chance of giving it back. Had an off day with goalkicking.
Like watching the U9's in the third quarter with 32 players swarming through the middle and no players at either end.
Positives - Pettifer worked really hard, Polak could be anything (& crashes packs :thumbsup), Schulz up forward, Tuck inconspicuous in amassing possessions. I thought Hyde was direct and our best link player in the short time he was on.
Melbourne were not a 27 point better side. Well, they were on the dodgy scoreboard but not in general play.

Amusing - Melbourne seem to have adopted Spud's 2004 gameplan. Ring-a-rosie, backwards, sideways, keepings off. Terrible to watch. They got away with it with fairly good skills but I doubt they'll get anywhere if they persist with it.

Pretty uninspiring summation - Thanks to all reguardless  :thumbsup
From what I have seen and read so far looks like another frustrating year COULD be looming.

Next week whoever is fit and in our best 22 should all be playing.
Carlton round 1 believe it or not is a HUGE game for us ...........

Do I save my 100 for the 8 at 2.85 or not  ???

Just to confirm, (as I was working today and couldn't go),
 was the curtain raiser a RFC Reserves team vs Coburg Tigers ?

Rhett

One of my mates works at Coburg and he told me they had a Richmond reserves team made up of 15 senior list players and another 7 Coburg players against Coburg's best team.

Patrick Bowden kicked 7 goals apparently, which is a great return.

I forgot to mention that McGuane played  better than I expected - up til now I've been unconvinced about his long-term tenure at the club.I'm still not sure, but I now have a little more room for optimism.

Fish was spot on about the handballs to players under pressure.

Brown was quiet, but he'll strut his stuff when it matters. It's easy to criticise the senior players in prac matches, but let's face it, they're not the real thing and the experienced players know it.

Foley got the ball a fair bit, but was off his usual game - eg poor decision-making at times.

Thursfield didn't play.My focus today was going to be on closely watching Moore and Thursfield, and I got short-changed, with Moore only playing 20 mins before injury.

Generally, we had a poor 1st qtr, then matched the Demons from then on. At times we looked good, at times we didn't. I believe it is foolhardy and premature to write off our prospects for 2007 based on the last 3 weeks, as I've been hearing people do.
