"Smashed them" was what I was told from a neutral spectator..
That neutral supporter obviously "smashed" a few too many red cans. 3 goals is hardly being smashed and after kicking 4 goals to nothing in the first 10 minutes, our blokes were all moved around into different positions. Apart from the ruckmen, the rest of our starting midfielders weren't playing for various reasons. I challenge any side to to play consistently well with your 5 best mids not on the park.
Fitzroy were good and played a rolling zone style very well. It's not unbeatable, just might catch most sides off guard in the first 9 rounds until they work out how to combat it.
Don't really see why you would bring up trial game form from 3 weeks ago. You will only really know how good any side is by about round 9 and they've played everyone once. Fitzroy aren't 2-0 with 4 points after winning two trials...
