Autopsy Rd 2 Blues up for the fight but still lose to Port by 16 points

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

We just have to keep ironing out a few things here and there and it will soon click for this group. A lot to like today

 

[El Topo]

world is a ****

weitering, sps, go you good things

Murphy's 4th q performance in the wet as a leader and senior player was a disgrace

pressure building, huge month coming up

 

[MITSUHIRATO]

Should have clinched that one.
Just didn't take our chances when it mattered, plus that terrible second quarter.

SPS best on ground. Unreal game by him.
Weiters, Dow, Crippa all great.
Gibbons and Polson really impressed me, Cam in particular.

Fasolo is a waste of a list spot, stay in the VFL.
Garlett and Plow killed our backline on multiple occasions.

Murphy literally cost us about three goals with his horrendous ball use. I would drop him but that wont happen.

Agree with everything you’ve said aside from Garlett. I think his game has been underrated again.

 

[Jeffy38!]

One day we will learn to up the intensity and practice composure.

 

[happydude]

We seem To always come together at similar times. Small rivalry building here. Would be good for future clashes

GREAT GAME
Your team is getting better, not looking forward to future games against your group.

Sick of effing losing !!!!!!!!!

* board......

 

[rampar]

Killed at the stoppages, backline did well, umps shit yet again

 

[95blues]

Polson is not AFL standard; not a forward, not midfielder, not a tagger. Should not play another AFL game this year unless injuries dictate his availability as absolutely necessary.

Well at least you're consistent.

 

[DamianBis]

Before all the Marc Murphy bashers come in.

Lets look at who is fit & tearing it up in the 2's and can contribute as much as he does.

The answer is nobody.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Damn, Gibbons ran 17km. Would that be a record for a Carlton player?

edit - Well I imagine it would be the most recorded, maybe someone like Bradley ran more before the trackers

 

[Mondyboy]

Start with the negative - Murphy 26 disposals but 53 SuperCoach points. That’s an awful conversion. Killed our momentum a couple of times.

Fasolo - not convinced at all. VFL for him to be replaced by JSOS who offers far more.

Garlett is getting better in the role but also has costly brain fades.

Ed - he looks lost at the moment. Either play him in the centre or play Kennedy instead.

Happy with everyone else and the effort for three quarters. Crippa is a monster. SPS was magnificent. Dow and Walsh were brilliant in the third. Weiters is shouldering a heavy burden down back with aplomb. Jones back to his 2017 form. Newman a good pick up. Polson was very good. Gibbo not far off it. The GOV is going to be huge for us.

I’m upset at the loss. I hate that we’re so close but yet so far. But if you can’t see the vast improvement from last year you’re... well not very good at watching football.

It will click. Maybe even next week.

Hopefully Charlie is OK, otherwise time to give Levi a run.

Had high hopes for Garlett this season, he was killing it in preseason. Since he went back against hawks in practice match and had 80% of his kicks turned over he’s lost all confidence.
Let’s call a spade a spade he just doesn’t know how to defend. Back to the twos or move up the ground. That stupid paddle of the wet ball and then the fre kick took all the pressure off Port, not saying he lost the game but it won’t be long before he does.

Garlett weak link down back

Fasolo weak link up fwd.....he has no defensive side at all

 

[Jeffy38!]

The thing I like about garlett is he has a crack all game

In that case I propose to play one short.

 

[Opine]

Damn Gibbons ran 17km. Would that be a record for a Carlton player?

he had 5 tackles in the first Q alone. he did his bit

 

[Stamos]

Polson is not AFL standard; not a forward, not midfielder, not a tagger. Should not play another AFL game this year unless injuries dictate his availability as absolutely necessary.

WTF?
Are you drug impaired? Or just didn’t bother to watch the game?

 

[Arr0w]

The disposal efficiency % of our midfield hurt us

Walsh 52
Murphy 57
Gibbons 43
Fisher 47
Dow 60 (just a pass)

Fasolo needs to be dropped
Phillips better, but allowed too much room to Lycett
McGovern needs to get more involved

Coaches, please, Garlett is not a defender, Ed is not a forward, the experiment needs to stop now

SPS was strong
Weitering again in the votes
Cripps is Cripps
Setterfield did well on Rocky in the 2nd half, but we lost drive
Newman solid

Given the list and the outs, we will continue to improve

Umm lol. Both Kennedy and JSos are fit, playing midfield and knocking on the door. L'Ob had a good game too. Plenty of options

 

[HBF]

I’m interested to hear from the Polson haters this week.

4 goal assists, 1 goal and a great chase down tackle.


Murphy on the other hand, 4 crucial turnovers in the last quarter when the game was in the balance.

Polson was very very good today. Should hold his spot for next week.

really selecting on merit right there.......

 

[dumb]

Pretty competitive unit apart from the whole goalless for long stretches thing

 

[95blues]

If Garlett only put his body behind the ball i'd probably accept him out there. Sticks his arms out and gets out of the way and it hurts his teammates. He's there to be clean at ground level for when the bigs get it down, but he plays scared.

Gee why do some people look for a scapegoat? Murphy is a tried and true player.

 

[SBYM]

That ladder tho...

The forward line is a weakness at the moment
