In the second half Freo had 11 scoring shots to Carlton’s 9. They kicked 6-3 and we kicked 3-8. Clearly the boys were tired and that showed in there kicks which they were jailing in the first half. As Carlton had been sleeping in the first half they had more reserved energy to steer the ball through. I also believe two Freo shots hit the post so it could easily have been 5-6 and a 67 margin.
However the form of the younger players continue to impress, no more so than Stefan Giro. This boy is going to be a jet.
And those that doubt RTBs ability to develop youngsters, he had 10 players in today’s side that have been recruited during his time and they all played well. (Cerra, brayshaw, tucker, Langdon, Neale, Apeness, Cox, Ryan, Sheridan, Blakley) plus Taberner, A Pearce, Grey, Crowden, Darcy and Logue are all developing nicely.
