Game Day Rnd 2 - Carlton v Port Gameday Discussion

[Blue_Fusion]

Got sniped by Powell-Pepper.

No he didn't. Don't get me wrong I hate SPP because he is a thug.

But in that contest, he had his eyes on the ball.

 

[Opine]

Time to reset. Bolton needs to try a few things and get us going. First quarter very good, second quarter poor. Game not over

Also, some comments on here regarding players are PATHETIC. Criticise or complain but keep things in perspective and don't ABUSE and calls NAMES. It's PATHETIC

Shuttup Soap. Theres a game in progress. FMD this is not a nursery ffs

 

[RudyBlue]

People bagging Polson

Have a look at the disposal count of some of our other players, especially midfielders

Thought he started quite well

 

[gardiner stand]

never seen a more bipolar board in my life, jesus

I’m still optimistic but we need to stick to our guns for longer...that is pressure and fast play

 

[Mr_Plow]

Strained (hopefully) his knee in a running contest with Houston.

Looked like a hyperextension +/- bone bruising, hopefully maximum 4 weeks.

 

[cfc4life]

If Bolton doesn't chuck Ed in the middle I'll spew. We are getting destroyed in the clearances.

 

[90N90S]

Fasolo has he even touched the ball yet?

 

[Soapy V]

It has never ever been more obvious that we need Kreuzer. The constant fast clearances they got that quarter put too much stress on the defence.


Kreuzer. You're our only hope.

? Phillips has been good. We need some mature mids

 

[BIuebagger]

Mids need to work harder. Defensive set up and structure faltered big time but I think mainly due to mids not providing enough options upon exit. We’ve been just pumping it long and they’ve punished us for it. Shocking quarter, good thing is the margin is only 3 goals and we have 60 mins of footy to hunt them down. Injuries are killer, sure, but We are in this.

 

[Opine]

Polson was shitehouse in that Q

 

[BlueTang]

The effort in that quarter looked like Essendon’s lasr week. Thought we were fit this year?

 

[thylacine60]

Playing gov in defence is an abomination of a coaching move.

We have too few fwd targets..lets move one of them to defence. WTF?

Our defense is not the problem. Its our midfield and small forwards shitting the bed for a whole qtr.

Absolutely horrible.

cause the ball was coming in laces out for mcgovern up front........seriously..........lucky I'm cooking a stew.......

 

[mickelboy182]

Not a whole lot wrong tactically.

Just switched off for 15 minutes

You reckon?
The system looks awful, swathes of Port players in our D50.

 

[Stamos]

I don’t think Polson chose to take advantage, I think he thought it was play on. We had a player in the square who walked away from the incoming ball from his kick

 

[Soapy V]

Shuttup Soap. Theres a game in progress. FMD this is not a nursery ffs

I'd expect this

 

[Wickzki]

I'm sorry peeps. My head just isn't in this today. Too many personal issues going on.

Hope we come back.

Enjoy the second half (if you can).

 

[BlueBayou]

1 good quarter, 1 bad quarter. Polson miss was crucial, but I think he took off before the ump decided to give Carlton a free in front of goal.
Umpiring so bad as to warrant a formal complaint to the AFL.
I'm so tired and frustrated at the bias evident in the umpiring. Port kid had his eyes on Murphy and took him out.No free. Reportable imo. Daisy spoils Port player in front of goal. Free kick. Phillips and McKay getting scragged and blocked off the ball almost every time. No Free.

Arresting red time goals?

Good coaching.

 

[Sir Crippington]

The umpiring has turned this game.

Correct. They need to be held accountable, they need to be pelted with fruit. 500 supporters each with a couple of oranges, nothing will change otherwise. Because it's Carlton and we are fair game. They know they can get away with it.

 

[thylacine60]

I really need to go

 

[TheKing101]

Haha poor Walsh. He must be spewing.

[jj1978]

Dow, Fasolo, need to actually get involved! Simpson last couple games not as much run as normal... Father Time and all that.

We need the kids to step up in the third and run.

 

[Opine]

Mids go missing and defence falls apart, sound familiar? Turn the pressure off and give their mids free reign and our defenders are left like headless chooks.
McGovern behind the ball was a good move to stem the bleeding but we can’t win like me that with Charlie off the ground.
Fasolo....I’ve seen enough thanks

Add Polson to your last sentence.

 

[BIuebagger]

Gov also better already than he was last week. Think he needs a big run of games before we see exactly what he can bring to the table. Walsh solid again, SPS needs to lift amongst others after a great first qtr

We need a quality small forward or two please, I beg you SOS.

 

[ESKIE]

If Bolton doesn't chuck Ed in the middle I'll spew. We are getting destroyed in the clearances.

It’s an obvious move
