Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion

[Dockeroo]

Sit back and enjoy the thought of Carlton fans having to watch their team getting pantsed by Gold Coast on Sunday night on KAYO, and commentated by Kelli underwood.
EAD blues haha

 

[muzzington]

Thought Kelli Underwood was better calling this game. Dunno, maybe it’s the commentary team makeup that gelled well.

 

[FreoRicci]

That’s the sound of Carlton crashing back down to earth. One game away, and they’re soft.

 

[Big Animal]

Haha

 

[Purple_Turtle]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Rowell?looks overly chunky and slow. If the ball isn’t right at his feet you can run off him

Discount Will Brodie

 

[stax on the mull]

Goodness that's an awful theme song that I'm glad I don't hear often enough. "We are the ones in the red, gold and blue".

Don't see much of the blue these days.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Feel like just about every team has had THAT game against GC where all their hopes and dreams are dashed, we've had a couple I think.

r2 2019 was a shocker, losing by a kick (should have been more but they couldn't kick straight at goal) after the North demolishing was a rough afternoon

 

[theGav56]

Gold Coast midfield is quite good can kinda see why Brodie was not getting a game.....I wonder what will happen when Fyfe is ready to come back in.

Need one or more of our inside mids to have a decent second position.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Need one or more of our inside mids to have a decent second position.

Fyfe is still good rotating through the forward-line, bar last year when he couldn't kick straight.

 

[gaskin]

Thank you GC. Now we can have at least weeks break from the Carlton wank fest.

My Carlton supporting friends havent commented in our group chat for 3 hrs.

That was the game i thought Ross tenure was almost done.

After scoring 140 the week before we dished up that defensive rubbish against a suns team on a dry afternoon on the GC and couldn't crack 60 points.

 

[wakojako]

The issue Carlton have is they're currently one trick. They are best in the league at scoring from stoppages, but around worst in the league scoring from turnover. This is not the identity of a premiership side. Set up defensively at stoppages and kill them on the turnover. Losing Cripps is a massive blow to their strength and leaves them ripe for the picking in a fortnight.

Good analysis! I don't watch much of Carlton which is why my analysis of them is shallow. I just got spooked of the graph Tay posted where teams that finish 4-0 have a 50% chance if playing in the granny.

 

[Belnakor]

Hasn't looked the same since his 4th game. He has lost his explosiveness.

Didn’t he do a PCL ? Basically an acl cept it kills your burst not your lateral movement.

 

[Belnakor]

Cerra is so meh compared with Brayshaw.

He’d look better in a better team whereas brayshaw plays like Selwood where his game style doesn’t rely on people farming the ball out to him.

Just another example of Carlton getting ahead of themselves getting cerra. He’s as soft as butter he needs some inside mids to do the tough stuff. Might mess up his hair otherwise.

 

[Yeti]

Thought it was a shoulder issue?

 

[Belnakor]

% is an amazing predictor of a quality team beyond wins and losses. That’s why going into the round Carlton was only at 113%.

 

[Belnakor]

Thought it was a shoulder issue?

Shoulder was his debut year injury but the pcl was what did the damage last year. Shoulders generally are s**t but you can play on. Pavlich and Fyfe both had/have constant shoulder injuries without too many issues to their core game.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Thought Kelli Underwood was better calling this game. Dunno, maybe it’s the commentary team makeup that gelled well.

My mother in law could be calling a Carlton game when they are losing & sound great.

 

[WaywardSonSon]

My assessment of West Coast's rookie stocks. It's very grim reading and a timely reminder of why they should never have, under any circumstances, traded extremely valuable future trade capital for Tim Kelly
