Ugly display by the Royals, very few of our guys could hold their heads high after that performance. Barrass is definitely one, holding Shepheard to just two goals was a great effort. Adamson did some nice things. Giles worked hard but should have had more than 1 goal 4. Brown was OK in his first game back. Lucas had his standard game.
Now, the airing of the grievances.
Colledge and Bennell were completely non-existant, apart from Bennell giving away a 50 in the last quarter. Partington and Snadden were similarly invisible but they've at least got youth and inexperience as an excuse. As Keys said, Ellis made some uncharacteristic errors. Lamb worked a bit harder than I've seen in the past but made some stupid decisions. McInnes didn't do a whole lot. Brophy was alright. Allen kicked East Perths best goal of the day (not that much of a challenge, but it was a good effort) in the last term but was barely sighted apart from that.
Saw most of the second half of the ressies. Mutimer looked very good, he'll be in line for promotion. Tunbridge was reasonable playing as a forward. Karpany seemed to be completely devoid of confidence, he was giving away plenty of shots on goal that a player of his ability should really be taking.
