Review Good vs Carlton, R5 2023

[pjcrows]

Bad: decision to close off Elder Park has created massive foot traffic problems leaving that game.

Left at the northern end and it was the easiest exit I've had in years.

 

[FR0GGY]

Good, that we seem to not panic, whether it be a shrug off a tackle, a fend off, a baulk, occasionally it doesn’t come off (ala pedlar and Tex) but on the whole it’s been great this year.

 

[MrBarry]

Milera didn't look slow to me tonight. Ever since his injury I've thought he looked slow and lacking a bit of intensity. Maybe it was just rust.

He literally had 2 years out of the game, people were far too quick to want to throw him on the scrap heap - he needed the continuity.

A lot of tourists, who are probably staying in the city

It was a severe injury and let's be honest, he's never been a star.

 

[Kickin Goals]

Just put a sneaky $50 on him for the Charlie.

Dawson is by far and away our most important player, and our best recruit since Jarman.

He’d have 8-9 voltes already.

Interesting stats on the AFL tracker
Total distance covered
Adelaide: 303.1 km
Carlton: 301 km

Not a huge difference there but then on the sprints front (times a player runs above 24km/h for 1 second) it's
Adelaide: 267
Carlton: 221

Repeat sprints (total sprints 24km/h within 60 seconds of each other
Adelaide: 32
Carlton: 21

Probably the type of workrate stuff Nicks would love to see. I don't necessarily think of Carlton as a slow team, so just looks like a big effort difference there. Cover near the same amount of ground in the end, but got one side who just makes those extra little efforts across a game.

 

[MsTopG]

Good.
Another good win and one match closer to finals.
Dawson. Another 3 votes.
Jones. Kid really stood up and has taken a big step this year. 3rd best on ground for us.
Laird. Quality game again.
Murray. Beat their talls.
Fog. Very good, great under pressure tonight.
Doedee. Vgood tonight.
Keays. Kicked a couple of important goals.

Bad
A few had poor quarters but most of them bounced back.

Soligo didn't have a great night but not worried about it at all

Ugly

Carlton
McKays kicking for goal.

I remember hearing Gawn talking about Burgess and he said he taught the players to play through pain and discomfort, and that playing with pain and discomfort is different from playing injured. Watching Butts and Fogarty at the ground tonight, I reckon they were in that category and both did their jobs superbly.

 

[MrBarry]

It was a severe injury and let's be honest, he's never been a star.

No but he does things that some of our players are not capable of and he is really difficult to tackle. That moment in the goal square where the opponent legged him is an example of this.

 

[Geoffa32]

That jumper was pretty good.

It's easy to look at Dawson's kicking and go wow, but I think it's his size and strength that has transformed our midfield.

He walks through tackles and is able to stand up and break away or deliver the ball to someone in a better position.

This changes everything.

 

[Bazz_27]

The ugly

I'm awake and no sign of going to sleep after that and start work in 6 hours

 

[BunjiMac]

I really really want Moir in the draft still, need to make sure this still happens, no matter how well we do

 

[pjcrows]

McGovern tweaking a calf in the warm up was superbly on-brand.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

It makes me wonder how much our previous fitness dept. was a weight around our necks. Burgo looks worth every penny.

NoDoz and Redbull

 

[Rotayjay]

Dawson was a **** en steal. Ah how good it is to have multiple quality midfielders again.

 

[deeztreez]

 

[Danger in Texas]

Danger in Texas 5 centre clearances for Dawson

Yep, thrashed Cripps in the CBAs and around the ground

Surely one of the Brownlow faves?

 

[Arr0w]

Absolutely killed us.

Still doubts on Nicks? Tactically he is a very good coach

You have been putting up top 4 numbers and that was before tonight's game

Had you as the best riser this season, but you will give the top 4 a shake if you stay healthy

Good luck for the rest of the season

 

[MRB37]

Went 10 goals to 7 after the first quarter too.

Well, this is a fun team to watch.

AFL and ch7 rearranging the fixture after the bye to get some primetime crows happening.
Huge, huge night for the club.

 

[Geoffa32]

Thilthorpe the Ruckman/midfielder tonight.

Was pretty good. Especially on link up play between the arcs.
