Game Day Rnd 9 - Carlton v Melbourne Game Day Discussion

[MckayMagic]

We are getting chances but just bombing it long into the forward 50 every chance we get isn’t going to win. And you can’t blame coaches for the players miss kicks and decision making.

 

[Mondyboy]

I said this some weeks ago. We’ve built a list that won’t get thrashed, but won’t win many either.

I tried to like it 3 times but can't.

 

[BlueBayou]

Hahaha nearly got their third red time goal.

umpire forgot to give them a 50.....

 

[jj1978]

We’ve had 18 tackles in the forward 50 and yet haven’t scored on the back of that pressure.

As Ratts said, what’s the point in tackling. Betts lays a beauty on Lever, babkas.

 

[Wickzki]

Four times Harry has been blatantly infringed and the umpires have turned a blind eye and they've goaled the other way.

That's the difference.

Dees will fall in a hole in key games when they don't get carried. Never anything more certain.

What drugs are you on?

Watch how routinely he misreads the play and runs under and past the ball, costing us a goal.

That play - he's the last man back. We have a numbers and a player at the contest to spoil. All he has to do is hold his spot and we win possession. Instead he runs past it and hands an easy goal and momentum back to Melbourn.

It happens 3-4 times a game and it kills us. The most important thing in a defender is reliability and predictability- the other defenders need to know he is going to be in his spot to play with confidence. A flashy mark or two simply isn't worth it.

We will be better once he is done. Play Casboult, or McGovern, or just play smaller with Parks/Plowman, or and of a million options rather than watching this every gsme

 

[RAPPA]

Dominating the stats yet comprehensively beaten on the scoreboard. Our skills are deplorable.

 

[__Bobcat__]

What exactly is the point of Murphy being out there

Count down...

 

[footyfan1978]

We are so bad to watch at times.

Teams just pick us apart

It is like Jayden Hunt can just roam freely where he likes and nobody is responsible to stop him.
Incredibly frustrating to watch it go on and on and on and on and on.

 

[Skull Face]

We’ve had as much of the pill as Melbourne, but gawd we’re a dumb side.

More clearances and inside 50s have we not? Just dumb use and dumb defensive runners

 

[Broadside]

More chance of Murphy playing 400 then our team getting its sh*te together.

don‘t joke about 400 it will give the match committee ideas!

 

[Arr0w]

Just need to take this on now. Let's dissect it after the game

 

[17SetMeFree]

Cripps, highest free kick against on the park this game and this year (between both teams)

 

[GinTonic]

Try something, anything Teague. I'll even take Eddie in the ruck. Show us your game day coaching nuance.

 

[Stickitupthem]

Teague make some changes we’ve lost the game if you don’t change it up
Weits to half forward Jones ruck
Eddy onballer try something

 

[Stig O'Hara]

BT confusing Metallica & dance music.

Because Footy.

 

[Koutamightafides]

To be honest we don’t have any where near our best team out there and a few players injured out there too. What do we expect except this malarkey

A lot expect us to be able to do what 8 other teams have failed to do already this year .

 

[Accidental genius]

we are faaling away now. tired legs and more and more mistakes creeping in. just hoping it doesnt get any uglier from here.

 

[BlueBayou]

On this as revealed form, Dees out in straight sets in the Finals... an average team aided and abetted by the AFL umpiring coterie

 

[95blues]

Cripps, highest free kick against on the park this game and this year (between both teams)

He thinks he's Usain Bolt. Nobody else to blame.

They are ordinary and not threat to Winning the flag

 

[Burgers45]

Either Williams is not a midfielder, or he's injured and should not be playing. Saad is average at best. At this stage, both bad trades for the money they're supposedly on. Too many passengers, same names...Gibbons, Murphy, and non existent forward line except Harry with one arm. I hate this club playing favourites and I'm over it>

That Parks as a key defender option sounds good. Getting flogged by third forwards. Putting him on key forwards would end well.

 

[jj1978]

Thud... hopefully the sound of the end of Gibbons AFL career.
