Game Day Rnd 2 - Carlton v Port Gameday Discussion

[james Dean]

Ed Curnow has one thing he can do well, run

If he is not being played as a defensive midfielder he is a waste of time. Put him on Rockliff and get someone other than Cripps in the midfield who knows what the hell they are doing

 

[Wickzki]

What is Charlie's injury?

Strained (hopefully) his knee in a running contest with Houston.

 

[gardiner stand]

Mids go missing and defence falls apart, sound familiar? Turn the pressure off and give their mids free reign and our defenders are left like headless chooks.
McGovern behind the ball was a good move to stem the bleeding but we can’t win like me that with Charlie off the ground.
Fasolo....I’ve seen enough thanks

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

That because he was thrown to the ground by Lycett. No free.

Got one for the next contest. Lycett is infringing in at least every second ruck contest.

He's being monstered by a stronger and better opponent.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Let's let Rockliff have 50 possessions because Ed Curnow is better used offensively... Said no one ever.

 

[Jabba73]

We are getting very frustrated with the clear difference in interpretations of what does and does not constitute:
1. Incorrect disposal
2. Holding the ball
3. Contact in a marking contest
4. What is a mark and what isn't
5. What is a fair tackle and what isn't

Sort that shit out and PA are not as good as they think they are. They went to water when the pressure was on in the first quarter, only came out of their shells with some very soft free kicks to release the scoreboard pressure.

Not out of this, just need to put the pressure back on.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Phillips on the ground in the ruck contest.

Warnock MK II

 

[Loose at HB]

Huge props to Murph for getting back out there. Been a warrior for over a decade
Mids very poor across the board in that qtr, far too much left to Crippa
Ball use ordinary as well
Any chance of us putting someone in the same postcode as Rockliff in the second half?

 

[Dadda Dave]

lololol

Poor posting is poor..

 

[95blues]

It was 14 free kicks to 8. Port get a scoreboard buffer on us and it's suddenly 16-16.

Game is rigged.

There is absolutely no other way that you can explain it.

It's not rigged, but the biggest lie in the game is that they don't know the count. It gets out of hand in favor of one team, so they try to even it out without impacting the scoreboard.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

I feel sick.

Just want know charlie is okay

Just wrapt it's not an acl

 

[Soapy V]

Thought Phillips was good. Liked Gibbons and SPS. Cripps is Cripps. Still think we are a tall short and lack of big bodies lacking in the middle. Fasolo is non existent. Setterfield still finding his feet

Some really good sign though.

Like to see Thomas up forward, maybe Newman on the ball or Plowman.

 

[gardiner stand]

Garlett still looking very uncomfortable down back.

 

[koutamarto]

fasolo and polson?

 

[Snoozer]

Got sniped by Powell-Pepper.

Horse shit. Fair, hard contest.

I held back on posting on game day thread because don’t want my frustrations to influence my posts but couldn’t hold back any longer.

That quarter was the result of the whole team, but there was one play that was the catatlyst of it al I reckon, that was polson taking the advantage from Walsh free kick in front of goal.

You could even see the frustration from Walsh and he was running past polson and pleading with him as to why.

 

[RudyBlue]

Not convinced that much will change given what we have seen so far. Huge fan of Bolton's man management but seems deficient tactically as nothing much seems to change.

Not a whole lot wrong tactically.

Just switched off for 15 minutes

Phillips can't even halve the contest in the ruck. The fast clearances are so simple for them at the moment. Lycett is murdering him.

 

[ESKIE]

Kennedy did well in the VFL so hopefully he’s IN next week.

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

As was the case last season, the gulf in quality between our best and worst footy is enormous, and sways toward the latter far too easily, often in just minutes. When things don't go our way, we don't seem to be able to arrest the slide back into the mire of panicked, rushed football, and the running effort falls away, too.

It’s almost like we stop. We get so worried about getting scored against we just setup a zone and forget about attacking.

 

[chelseacarlton]

Bolton needs to go

Idiot

 

[Blue and Blue]

They're a decent big bodied mob and our blokes went into their shells. We need someone to deal with one of them and say thats enough. We arent taking it no more. Thats an onfield thing beyond the coaches influence in my opinion.

 

[goreds]

Structure shot without Charlie

 

[RAPPA]

Fas needs two weeks in the vfl. Still underdone. JSOS and Kennedy are the next two knocking on the door

 

[Michael Jezz]

Its hard to accept we are well coached when rudimentary errors and entire qtr shutdowns occur each week. Call me old school but keeping the team switched on and in the moment is half of the essence of coaching
