Review R8: The Good, Bad and the Ugly vs. Carlton

[Jeffcrowe]

I put a post us saying I thought he could have a breakout year, saying he showed some glimpses of elite breakaway abilities.
Again tonight he showed that he has some real power and ability to breakaway from the pack.

If he isnt going to be able to break into the team on a consistent basis I really hope another team comes knocking for him. He deserves a real go.

Deserves a full game soon

 

[Cleric]

A good around game.
Worrell and Dawson elite.
Izak doing Izak things.
Thilthorpe finding it hard to mark the balls with kranskys for fingers.
Milera showed a few people here up.
ROB has me wondering how the hell De Koning is the next great ruck worth 1.5 million a year.
Rachele continuing his great year.
Sam Berry showing he has some real ability and needs a real go at it.

Moving Dawson forward, middle and back made him so much more valuable too IMO.

I know, I know, I am tough on Nicks. I (still) want him sacked.
I don't believe for a minute Nicks was behind Dawson playing forward, middle and back --- it has Davis, all over it.
If it was Nicks, why has he not thought of it previously?

They were good moves; Dawson was bog (close second, Worrell/ Rankine/Max) tonight.
I shouldn't care who suggested/made the moves but if a lot of them are coming from Davis, what's the Club paying Nicks for? Kumbaya Factor?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Nicks move to put Rachele in centre bounce 2-3x in 1st quarter helped get him going I thought

More of that please Matthew

Rachele was v good today

Forgot McGovern played for Carlton until I got home and started watching the replay ..

First minute or 2 I said to my wife, gee that no11 totally wussed out of going back in the marking contest. Oh wait, that's McNuggets, completely in character.

 

[CrowBloke]

I think he's got a place at AFL level still, just not with us

When he shopped around a while back, there were NO takers.

 

[WeeBlake]

Good
Dawson, showing why he is not mainly a mid
Rachele - kudos to the coaches for giving him midfield time. Was great in there, especially in the first q
Worrell - amazing
Taylor finding his feet
Curtin continuing his block of solid form, he’s gonna be really good
Berry was good in the burst he got

Bad - Not much for us, plenty for the Blues. I imagine their fans feel like we did last week.

Ugly
?? Deliberate oob calls?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Milera and laird were v good and been building

Difficult to find it acknowledged on here but it’s a reality

 

[Betts are off]

Pretty amazing that Izak had a 29 disposal 2 goal game and isn't really getting discussed that much.

Remember when AFL media thought we overpaid for him. Lol

 

[AFC979810]

Are you being deliberately dense?

He isn't trying to be dense. He is trying to be a arse.

He'd be in the bests behind Worrell and on par with Dawson wuuldn't he?

Worrell was the standout for mine,

Something you don’t have to try to be

 

[AFC979810]

Something you don’t have to try to be

Is that because I am a 'lock down' poster?

 

[jo172]

Feel like poor TDK cost himself $5 mill over the next 5 years tonight.

Mediocre

Nicks move to put Rachele in centre bounce 2-3x in 2nd quarter helped get him going I thought

More of that please Matthew

Rachele was v good today

Apparently it’s all Murray.

Worrell best ( again )
Izak next

Then a group inc Dawson Max Milera Rachele Laird

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Apparently it’s all Murray.

It prob is Jenny

 

[jenny61_99]

It prob is Jenny

I know!

[Archie87]

If Woz isn't firmly in the AA selectors minds for a spot in the 22 right now then they just have NFI.... He's just an absolute jet.

Berry was a pleasant surprise too. If he can be that clean and impactful over 4 quarters then he will be a very handy addition in the mids.

 

[50BC]

Also the Saad 'woof' is beyond stupid.

Yeah, it started with Val Perovic in the 70s cos he used to make that sound himself when he kicked, they brought it back for Ange Christou in the 90s cos he kicked like Perovic. Now the Carlton supporters just seem to choose some random numpty to be the next "woof"

On the Carlton board they seem to suggest De Koning is kinda useless against the non jumping rucks that engage at ground level. Sounds like he needs space to be effective which ROB is never going to give

 

[FR0GGY]

The penny may drop with his fitness

It would seem as if sanfl fitness is a mile of afl fitness. Just need to keep playing him.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

First minute or 2 I said to my wife, gee that no11 totally wussed out of going back in the marking contest. Oh wait, that's McNuggets, completely in character.

We need to get sanders back so he can tell us that he was worth a top 5 pick in trade

 

[AFC979810]

Good:

ROB was fine. Haters gonna hate.

We still haven't had every one fire.

Great:

We are now 1/3 through the season and sitting top 5. We have only played 1 of this years bottom 5 teams. It's an extremely even season and our losses are by 1 point (away) to the team 3rd on the ladder, 19 points to 6th on the ladder and 18 points (away) to 9th. Been tough reading the past week, but we are perfectly placed for the rest of the season. I think every single person on this forum, if asked at the beginning of the year, would have taken a 5-3 start.

Ugly:

Nank - Confidence player and his confidence is way down. Looking to do too much and is constantly.

Soligo's last month. After the first 4 rounds he looked to have established himself as a very good midfielder. Last month has been very disappointing. Wonder if he is carrying something or lacking fitness.
