Getting a bit blown away now. Our fitness is not 100 percent.

Getting a bit blown away now. Our fitness is not 100 percent.

And it's funny how fitness can also manifest into other areas such as decision making, tackling, disposals and concentration. In the last 10 minutes young guys in Pearce and Howard in particular have made some poor decisions in positioning, marking and tackling.

I know they play'ed together alot as junior's and probably looked out for each other on the field, but a couple of times today Wallis and Libba have both tried to find each other, when the option wasn't there, and it's hurt us.

Hope we have a big preseason! Fitness is poor

Very disappointing second half for us. I would've liked to have seen us keep the score closer. But having said that, I've seen more positive's out of today's game than I've seen in several weeks.

Absolutely we need to start our pre season early. We just can't play 4 quarters of football.

Reckon Griff has absolutely given everything he's got today. Yes he's let himself down with a kick on goal, but 7 tackles, 4 clearances, 4 inside 50's and alot of heavy work in close, he's really played well.

1st half was positive again. Then they have slowed to a walk.
Scoring goals difficult again

Addison in the half forward line was fantastic today. Dickson and Roughead were also very good. Tahila and JJ had good debuts.

We had virtually 7 first year players including Skinner, plus Tutt with less than 6. A very inexperienced team

Agree Eastdog, PS it is spelt Talia (no H)

Dickson is a very smart footballer, very happy and impressed with his progression.

Yes we were young today. But not that much younger than North. North had 12 players with less than 50 games.

What's the verdict on Jarrad Grant. Today he didn't really impact the game very much.

He didn't, but I think he is showing glimpses, problem is he should be showing more than glimpses.
