Slowwww start here from the lads. Midfield struggling to get their hands on it.

We're getting our hands on it but we're just so sloppy. Constantly turning it over.

Getting more of it now but as you said, the ball use has been horrendous. Also bringing no pressure to the contest.

That was absolute garbage.

That's being kind.
Playing on at all costs like last week but with no composure. Playing into Carlton's hands.
We look better when we control it. Problem is the constant turnovers.
We have no midfield.

Nathan Buckley made a good point in the first quarter that our frenetic game style can be too fast for our own good. It requires absolute precision when moving the ball that quickly and a lot of the time our skills aren't up to it.

Leake looks good. Stone not so much.

Probably the only positive from the first half. He definitely looks up to the level.

Starting to look a bit better in the 2nd quarter. If anything I think we were slightly on top for that quarter.
Leake looking good and I actually think Stone is doing alright too. Needs to clean a few things up but he has the strength, size and speed for the role. I think there's a good chance they're both in the team for OR.

Coming back from injury but at this stage of his career his a B grader at best.

Could be quite ugly against the Pies.

I wouldn’t read too much into the pies/tiggers game…. But maybe. Remember they had a much longer off season

There is no change in the size of the gap from our good to bad football. We won’t be contending this year.

Nothing like a good preseason overreaction
It s practice game and its a long season and a lot can happen.
Lots of teams have started slow and played finals and in the lions case last year had a slow start then won the whole thing.

Absolutely..it’s a preseason game and as long as we have no serious injuries, the players will be better for having a good tough game against a side that will make the finals

Must say it does hurt a bit seeing Nick Haynes playing for Carlton. That said, I’m glad he was able to extend his career with another club. What a champion he was for us.
Not sure how I feel about this game.
It’s easy to say “it’s only pre-season”, and it is. But they have been getting smashed out of the middle.
And we are only missing a couple of players really.
Hopefully it blows out the cobwebs

Love Buckley’s passion - he was very miffed at letting Carlton score
