Review GBU v Carlton

[Kane McGoodwin]

Waited, waited, waited ...

Good: 9-goal win, take it, 4 points.
McGovern!

Bad: 2nd quarter, terrible
Crouch's little dinky grubbers *slaps forehead*

Ugly: Injury (?) to Milera.
Slow Fog.

Have at it ...

Acronym = GBU.

 

[the universal]

We played well against Richmond & Sydney.

The only 'good' wins we've had, really. It's still heartening to see we're 3rd with the 3rd highest % though.

I'll try and keep negatives to a minimum given how much I've spouted but.

 

[Doobie Doedee]

Richard Douglas is an absolute cement head

Yeah, didn't see it.
I've reported myself, asked for my thread to be merged to Carmo's .

 

[Bicks]

Actually this is a fair point. That might have been the first time he's had his colours lowered since coming into the side.

Ditto Talia as well who got belted by Casaboult

Got belted, boy you sure can layer the mayo on?

 

[Runnin Blue]

Daniel Talia 7th for disposal efficiency in the comp. All he does is defend though...

In that time though we have played St Kilda, Carlton and Gold Coast who are all crap.

Will be interesting to see how we go with some of our tougher matches in the next few rounds

 

[Squiba]

CEY had a pretty good game. Didn't think he would perform this well but I was completely wrong.

Douglas bog, and Gov really came into form.

Not a spectacle by any stretch but a 10 goal win is a 10 goal win.

 

[conVINCEd]

Good
- McGovern, Douglas, Laird, Greenwood, Jenkins, Seedsman, Eddie being back

Bad
- Milera’s injury
- Fogarty and Sauce’s easy misses

Ugly
- the second quarter
- Doedee falling over costing us two goals

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Carlton wearing silver... and came 2nd

 

[RealCheese82]

Wtf is Betts doing for you lot? Is he done?

 

[Footypie32]

CEY's kicking is getting much better.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Josh Jenkins 4th for contested marks in the comp. All he does is Joe the Goose though...

 

[Bicks]

What happened to Milera? Anything serious?

recurring knee tendinitis according to Pyke

 

[jaytex]

Best thing about tonight??

Lady Burra Bar and Restaurant in Topham Mall

Really? I walk past there most mornings and always wonder what it's like as a drinking establishment.

 

[1990crow]

Wtf is Betts doing for you lot? Is he done?

Close to, yes.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good
We're now 19-18 ahead in the head-to-head count with Carlton.

And will never fall behind again.

 

[Geoffa32]

AND ...
Needs to look where his mates are BEFORE he gets the ball (lacks awareness!).
Needs to think/act more quickly.
Needs not to telegraph his feints/balks.
But, hey, he's still a kid, great future.

Next week, IN: Tex OUT: Fog

All minor things. As you say he has a great future ahead if him.

I won't be too unhappy if he spends the rest of the year in the SANFL to learn all of these facets of his game.

Learn to rip apart and dominate a game.

Fairly boring game, like a lot of games this season.

Gov was the highlight. Great to see him back in form and finding those sticky hands.

We still look a fair way off our best - probably 5-6 goals a game off where we should be. Too many fumbles and missed handballs, and we were far too cute with the ball on a number of occasions (such as Gallucci's 15m pass which resulted in the Doedee falling over incident).

Gibbs was down (only 4 contested possessions) but our support cast of Douglas, Greenwood and CEY were all good once again.

Not all games can be blockbusters though. Bank the win and move on (to the showdown).

 

[CrowBloke]

This.
Especially second quarter.

 

[John Who]

Good : Did what we had to do.
McGovern's hands, it was as sticky as humanly possible!

Bad: Switching off for an entire quarter.
Milera had some kind of mystical injury/awareness? Just when he was looking to fire it up this year!

Ugly: Carlton's prospects of making the Finals.

 

[Bicks]

Jacob Weitering 28 disposals 17 marks in the VFL today. LOL and some question our selections.....

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I feel deflated after that 2nd quarter. I don't think this team will contend this year. Crows are way too Jekyll & Hyde and we can't seem to stem the flow of injuries and get some real continuity going.
