Game Day RND 19 - 🏈 Carlton v Melbourne Game Day 🏈

[T2B_]

What was Cripps thinking with that kick inboard though?

He wasn't

 

[morningbrown]

Did well to respond after a super flat start to the quarter. Need to come out firing in the last. Matt Carroll has been so good.

 

[Mondyboy]

Our kids have kept us in this game. Think Carroll has been superb. Could have gone back in his shell after last week, but has come out with dare and composure.

 

[Opium]

He did not bump.

He was trying to get the ball. It was 100% in line with the centre of his chest.

Evans got there a fraction a second earlier.

We're litterally talking a small fraction of a second.

There was no bump. Just a collision

Evans probably needed to turn his body to protect his head at the last second.

 

[carlton_99]

lol Motlop, so bad

The kick was short, didnt quite get there and he locked it in to give us the stoppage. Not sure what more is expected there.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Yea but it is Steven may so f*** him

True. Probably my most hated player. But I really don't think he meant that. It wasn't malicious

 

[Jimmae]

Anyone else noticing we're faking the kick-out taker and then sending that player off as the first option wide?

Stealing a bit of meterage and forcing the opposition to move a bit.

We’re winning.

 

[Red_man2008]

If Moir kicks another in the last he will be our only 5 goal kicker this year.

 

[passmark]

After 15 minutes of quiet time we worked bloody hard to get the lead back.

Keep it going.

And only took Evan’s getting decapitated!

 

[dumb]

where has this not been falling in a heap in the third quarter been all year?

 

[dumb]

If Moir kicks another in the last he will be our only 5 goal kicker this year.

[jj1978]

Charlie seems to be getting his goals in a single quarter this year. Trend is continuing

 

[katmanblue]

We could guarantee it every second week if we move to Tassie

 

[Dramoth]

Right hand was a fist and he flexed for the bump. Wasn’t a lot he could do, but he still bumped instead of putting an arm out to absorb it.
3 weeks for sure

Probably go straight to the tribunal really. It was that flex of his arm that will give him a couple of weeks.

 

[Wickzki]

As the kids grow so too does the team

Just as influential as the veterans.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

He did not bump.

He was trying to get the ball. It was 100% in line with the centre of his chest.

Evans got there a fraction a second earlier.

We're litterally talking a small fraction of a second.

There was no bump. Just a collision

His eyes were on Evans, not the line of the ball, and he stuck the shoulder out to collect him.

he knew what he was doing, timing is close enough that he will probably get off/you can see his prspective. he coulda gone about it slightly differently but thats not the player he is, nor what you want from a hard defender

 

[Red_man2008]

I’m struggling to keep track of Carroll and HOF. They are basically the same player. Can we keep Haynes for another year to keep educating these two. I can’t see either of them or Cowan leaving this half back line for the near future. Tough on JSOS as he may need to go forward for the final month.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

You could watch the entire Windies second innings during half time.

Half of a mini highlights

There was no bump. Just a collision

If you look at the footage, ever so slightly, May turns. And that turn, coupled with his forward momentum, aligned his shoulder with Evan's jaw and lent the whole weight of his body into it.

Now, generally you turn your body to brace for impact; it's how you teach younger people how to defend themselves on the footy field. But May also has made a habit of being 'clumzy' on a footy field, so much of a habit that I have no qualms about saying he absolutely meant to get him where and when he got him. His elbow turns the way it does when you dip the elbow to ready a bump.

It's slight and it's quick, but it's there.

Kemp vs WB

 

[Red_man2008]

kemp

Wow. That’s crazy.

 

[carlton_99]

Carroll, Cowan and Moir all with big quarters to back up strong first halves.

Stealing a bit of meterage and forcing the opposition to move a bit.

It’s the first decent bit of kick out strategy I’ve seen from Carlton since 1995 - when we invented the short pass to the back pocket and then switch across the ground
