Certainly, the young players we had in our team give us great reason for optimism. So given we went in with the expectation that they would play close to their best, we went in thinking, OK, we’re going to need to play really well. To my eye, they looked like they were playing a lot more the way they did when they were higher up on the ladder. If we came away having won, given Richmond played really well, they sort of looked like old Richmond a bit to me, and say it a lot, timing is important in this game. I mean, the numbers would suggest that we had, you know, more than our fair share of opportunities to really put them under pressure and I think the first quarter, if you ice late it to that, they took their chances, and we didn’t, felt like we were on top, but to your point with the players missing - like, we sort of went into the game really keen to win. Really mindful you’re probably missing eight of your best 22 players but did you feel there were some skill issues and uncharacteristic Cats things that popped up tonight that were a bit unexpected? Cats coach Chris Scott spoke to the media after tonight’s loss to Richmond.
