Review Round 2, 2019 vs Carlton

[Scholz Supremacy]

Not the prettiest game but still a good effort to win that being two men down.

We finally won one for the Hoff!

 

[NEGAN]

Last year that would of been a 4 goal loss we all know it...

2 down on the bench rain and no Robbie Gray special getting us the win I am taking that.

Winning pretty isn't always an option - very happy to come away with the 4 points!!!!

Anyone want to question Lycett’s contract?

Strong effort losing 2 and then having to switch to wet weather footy.

Some fuzzy feels:
- Scott Lycett could push to be the best ruck in the league
- Tom Rockliff and Travis Boak going back into their primes - wow.
- I bet we win most 50/50s when Drew or Butters are involved. Incredibly solid players.

I was worried about trading off Chad and Polec but I think it was the right choice now. Off-season change of going from moving out a bunch of flashy players to just solid footballers is paying off well right now. The squad looks so much more balanced.

Last year we said take the 4 points and move on to next week. That betrayed some deficiencies. But today I'll take the 4 points

High pressure scrappy game in poor conditions. Do need to ask what's happening in Q1.

60 to 36 clearances & a 100 disposals limp over the line. Need to work some yips out.

Love our younger players. When we move it , it can be clean and fast. Lots to be excited about, but a few things to work on obviously

The kids continue to impress. Thought Drew was a stand-out. We've unearthed a good one there

Butters is your god now

Pretty shit form.

Anyway:

The biggest thing about this win is that it was on the back of our youngsters. Butters, Drew and Rozee all stood up and handled the pressure really well.

Marshall, Bonner and, to a lesser extent, DBJ have to be nervous.

 

[Magus]

I thought we played OK, just a bit sloppy in the conditions. Onwards to next week.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Butters is clutch

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Butters is your god now

Butters is my favourite player already. 15 more years of butters please.

 

[scaryness]

Muh boy Duursma showing promise

Will be one of the best players from last year's draft.

 

[Waspy79]

I rate that win higher than it looks on paper.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Wasn't pretty, but that was a solid win. Carlton aren't the easy beats they once were. I actually had a moments tbought during game where I tbought getting rid of Chad was the right thing after all. Cos we didn't just gain class, we lost laziness.

But the biggest story of the night is watts. He is a top quality player, and I really did have high hopes for him in the back line this year. Howard can definitely fill the void, but not the same class. Hope it's not too serious, but I'm not confident. I'm thinking broken and a good three months out.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Lycett was absolutely huge at the end there.

That goal at the end was sweet. Encourage those at the game to ensure to watch it on replay. The Motlop goal it was.

So much to be excited about seeing that. Some 10 year players there

 

[DazzaTys]

Marshall just so far of the pace. He’s thrown up some stinkers. Probably lucky that Watts and Dixon are injured. Love these young guys that have come in. Bonner might be looking at some SANFL time with Hammer looking ready to come in.

 

[Lagooner]

Carlton not bad weather happened Ports win close good thing.

 

[Waspy79]

Dunstall is a flog of a commentator. So biased it is intolerable and unprofessional.

 

[jakey]

Best batch of kids to arrive at this club in 20 years.

 

[Smithy7]

Rozee played a good game as well ...

It was the poise from all 3.
