So whats ur point?Only to be seen after a loss.
So whats ur point?
It's not about his best, and yes he did actually impose himself physically for a change. It's about his inability to double back and get involved again.Jim I was at the ground. I am going to make a personal plea to you to forget bringing up Newman as a potential drop. Some of his efforts were superb today. His intesity was terrific. I have in the past doubted him but no more. He is a MILE better overhead than I ever gave him credit for. He also got us organised again after the backline falling apart in the second half of the first quarter when Weitering went off.
He will keep his spot for years. And deserve to. Leave Newman be. Please. You’re just flat out wrong.
I asked the mod a qtion..waiting for an answer.the sky is blue
what's your point?
Lol god speed young fellaI asked the mod a qtion..waiting for an answer.
One of the more contentious frees in the book - like the only way it isn't paid is when the approaching player blindly flings an arm up as the ball arrives - probability of ball hitting arm less than 5%.
you can't be sure of that though, can you? we all know running at a player front on who is about to mark and putting him off to the extent he muffs it is nigh on impossible.......very few achieve it ..............Not sure if it’s coincidental, but since the Young vs Zuhaar non suspension, I’ve noticed quite a few umps make really poor calls in regards to front on contact. I’m sure after that incident someone from AFL house would have had a chat with the umps and confused them even more.
No current season stats available
Not the end of the world to loose to the filth, but it hurts more than any other loss.
I think they found us out a bit defensively, Weiters out must be worth more than 4 points.
Sidebum made a huge difference when the whips were cracking, and they played the long game better, but our overall class kept us in the game. A full healthy list and we win easily. They kick straight and they win by 30+
Overall it hurts to lose to them, but I will take this season over any of the last 20 ish
Agreed. The ultra-conservative play in the 3rd qtr is what killed us. Didn't switch the play once until we were forced to because of an early play on call putting pressure on the kicker, only finding an outlet cross field.Losing Weiters did hurt a lot. But in the end, you can’t go goalless for a quarter and expect to win many low scoring contests. That’s what killed us more than losing Weitering.
I'm looking forward to seeing how we manage without Weiters. We had a great surprise seeing Charlie rise to the occassion without Hazza - and some!Exactly. Feeling flat as well but not because of the result - we win that game with Weitering still in. Pies gameplan once Weitering went down was just kick it as high as possible i50 and take a mark on an undersized def. Its the injuries that are just soul crushing for the team. It honestly feels like a big joke at the moment with seemingly our most important players going down every week. And these arent 1 or 2 week injuries because they don't exist at Carlton. 6+ only. Just done with it tbh
Does anyone have some thoughts on why we persisted with long kicks down the line, especially considering our lack in tall marking options?
What made our game plan change so much from the previous 4 weeks?

The worst one was the Young kick down the line quite close to the centre square. It was obvious from where I was sitting that Cox would mark the ball before it left the boot. Clearing the ball from defence needs to be the focus over the next 2 weeks.Does anyone have some thoughts on why we persisted with long kicks down the line, especially considering our lack in tall marking options?

Most were banging on about it already yesterday and last night....pretty obvious at the moment. And they're not bit players either.Wishful thinking, but I bloody hope the media point out our injury list if we drop a few games in a row from here.
