I've just re-watched the Essendon game on tape and we really butchered a lot of shots on goal, but I still found positives in patches. Higgins had some classy touches, Will's back tap that created a goal was clever, Hill improved as the game went on, Cooney was continually able to find it etc.
So Whilst we clearly wont be favourite on Friday but I think that playing the young guys again should provide plenty of opportunities for inexperienced guys to step up and contribute
How about our injury list?
Williams, Lake, Giansiracusa, Harbrow, Ray, Everitt, Lynch?
And those are all guys are all legitimately pushing for senior selection
Does anybody think none of them could be right for round 1?
