Gibbons is a must in the team..has a bit of a desperado vibe about him, tackles hard, has some tricks too.
Good back up option for the coach to use in half time speeches as well..."players like gibbo waited 5 *en years to get on a senior list!! You want to be that guy!?!? ***breaks clipboard...
No idea. Bolts said before the game we want to hold the ball inside the forward line. Nothing else was mentioned.. Although I'm sure we have some game plan!?
He's beginning to believe he belongs at afl level.. And why would he or anyone else think otherwise!? Love his pace and hardness at the contest is terrific. Also a great set shot. The knock on him early was he doesn't get involved enough..that appears to be fixed. Important cog.
Said it before and I'll say it again. I'm not convinced that Fisher and SPS are genuine mids. I see both of them as forward/mids, both are too cute in possession, very weak in the contest, and have no physical presence. Won't be a shock to see us get beat up in the middle again. Add Murphy to...
Sack Bolton. Coach is ultimately responsible, especially because of the lack of intensity showed by the players. Except silvagni, Cripps, Walsh, Fisher, rest were putrid.
As a man, let alone as a professional footballer, we can't be physically bashed like that and not respond. It shows weakness and no balls. I normally wouldn't call for this but we need line in the sand display in the 3rd qrt.
Can't wait for another small forward to tear us a new one. Forget polson v cunners debate.. Who's going to take wingard, breust, & puopolo, etc? That'll be key in this game.. Thomas, Simpson and garlett?... *scratches head*
Potential is there, but too many still haven't taken that next step. We play every game effectively down 3 or 4 players. Can't win a game until this changes somehow.
Setterfield 4 possessions, lob 2 possessions, gibbons 0, Fisher 8 and Dow (7) both need to get more of the pill as well. Carrying way too many. Definitely have potential these young blokes though.
Carn blue boys!!
Can't wait to watch Dow, SPS, Fisher and Walsh in the middle again. Wowee! What a future! Must bring our tackling pressure early and continue it all game. Let's hope Bolton has a plan to stop buddy. 😬
Absolutely, the biggest headache for Bolton will be who's going to kick the goals.
A couple of things I'd like to see.
- daisy Forward pocket, just get him crumbing and using his smarts around goal, I think he can bag a couple a game.
I'd like to see Gibbs spend more time in the forward line...
As long as we don't give weitering the big gorilla forwards he'll develop fine in the firsts, play him on the third tall or even sneak him forward? But In saying this, didn't he towel up majack daw ?
Armfield is currently our most effective small forward/shut down forward, that's just my...
I think that is the first team squad. The number one pick must be ready for round one though, weitering.
Blokes like Gibbs, fully fit walker and Thomas will make a huge difference next year. Don't forget Dennis! Pretty much the only one who runs people down in our forward line.
Let's get the midfielders!! still getting weitering and Jack, just feels right doesn't it?
Would be great if we could snag three quality mids, e.g. Oliver, Gresham, Clarke.
Next year top up again, and start looking at FA, hopefully we can start to improve so they want to come to Carlton!
