Just watched the game, not nearly as bad as feared. They are very young and inexperienced, hopefully a lot of them will find their feet this year. Anyhow...
Positives:
- We have Heeney!
- Rowbottom got involved, played well, was composed (8 disposals @ 84.6=Good Debut).
- Buddy seems to be getting fitter every week.
- Dawson played very well imo. May just have found his niche.
- Rampe is not done, remains a gun!
- Third debutante this year
Negatives:
- All those turnovers, followed by missed tackles
- Only in the second quarter did we get blown away & still if we'd kicked straighter we could have stole it
- Reid & Ronke could do with a spell in the twos, but are waiting on Menzel & Hayward's recovery
- Melican, Smith and Grundy missed
Quarter by quarter...
