Our team is looking better this time around.

And younger.

That team had an average age of 24.

The one last sunday: 22.41

I know...

I was bored.

I look at that side and I shake my head. How on earth did we lose by 80 points. To Richmond.

Didn't they win 8 of their last 11? Two weeks before they'd beaten Hawthorn by 5 goals. They were playing with confidence whereas we were well and truly on the wane.

The fact that White and Yze were playing their last games wasn't enough to disturb the lethargy.

I know and understand. It's just the margin (80 points) and the club of Richmond.

Yeah I reckon we are looking better this week. Although, we could do with Jeff White still!!

It was an older team but considering that we had played Yze, Carrol, White and Holland plays a part.
