Media Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc) - Part IV

[Stamos]

are you sure they are on the show 360? I want to see what you were watching

Yeah, they were on 360 tonight. Their segment was towards the end of the show.

 

[thylacine60]

cheers, stamster, bit phwoar.........

 

[thylacine60]

first 10 minutes of footy crucified borderline unwatchable, so unedifying (hee hee) mcguire shouting at the top of his voice at caro, a disgusting mess, lyon squawking about 'metrics, what about the metrics?" horrible - only pushed through to watch the * piece.........

 

[thylacine60]

nup, can't do it, unwatchable, mcguire just ranting across the top of everyone else, banging the pen, shouting at everybody, saying what should be.....nup

First episode I've seen this year, Eddie's lost the plot.

Interesting part was King talking about how we are using Cripps better which is a credit to the coaches.

Post stoppages he is pushing hard forward...we know he is hitting the scoreboard this year and being damaging.

But it has 2 other benefits.

Firstly, it forces his opponent into defence and am uncomfortable position where they can't influence the game. Tom Green had his lowest rating game this season vs us, likely largely due to following Cripps into defence a lot and out of the action.

Secondly, it hides/protects Cripps' weakness of a lack of defensive spread and running pressure. When we turn the ball over, Cripps has already pushed deep into our forward line. So he's not really in the play anyway whereas if he was in the middle of the ground he'd get exposed defensively.

Loved when Eddie started making up numbers regarding the difference in $$$ from TV when it is twilight compared to day grand final. Went from 50 million to 100 million in about 0.3 seconds - and Lyon was just accepting it as true it seemed

 

[Malifice]

Is this Corey Durdin, Sam Durdin, or Lachie Fogarty?

Yes.

As a non-“shit-on-TV” watcher, does Ross Lyon still waffle (WAFL? Thy?) on about how he’s happy he didn’t get the Carlton job because the AFL media tend to chew out head coaches?

The same points were made two weeks ago on here - except on here whoever posted these points didn't describe Cripps playing high as a cover for 'defensive' inefficiency. Media don't follow teams as closely as supporters do - there are lots to follow - 18 Clubs I guess.

Shortly after these graphics, they said our scoring differential from centre bounces for the season is +107. Next best is +38.

Also showed multiple clips of our centre clearances where we're consistently able to get an effective handball off to a teammate even though we're being tackled and under immense pressure.

These stats are amazing. These are the same players as other years, plus a couple additions.

It shows that we always had the talent but we needed the right people at the club to unlock it.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Anyone actually ever heard of teams presenting to the AFL commission before?

I think it's fairly routine that when the Commission meets to discuss important league-wide issues, that there is representation from a few clubs, the umpire department and the AFLPA, and probably some other internal bodies as well. Rather than all clubs sending representation, I expect it's probably some kind of rotation.

Bit of a nothing statement from Browne unless he can actually confirm what was being presented. Could be something specific to our clubs, or it could be something general like the impacts of Covid and the processes clubs have put in place to mitigate them.

 

[BlueGum]

Or, here are our membership numbers and attendances. We'd like some Saturday arvos for our members and night games for our sponsor's tv exposure. BTW what will the compensation be for losing 3 aflw players.? This is what we think is fair?

A 3rd is that it completely eliminates a weakness and adds a strength that wasn't there before.

Turns Cripps from a liability into a weapon. Seems so simple but it's excellent coaching.

Also highlights how massive Hewett and Cerra have been for us.
We have a better playbook for stoppages, but also much better cattle.
I saw a stat elsewhere saying that Hewett has slightly higher clearance numbers than Cripps.
Seems like the pieces fell together at exactly the right time.

 

[Neese]

Yep top shelf recruiting of Hewett and Cerra plus fit Cripps and Kennnedy

 

[thylacine60]

Standard line after Teague was let go … great bloke etc etc … don’t want to dance on the great guy’s grave (I was on the Teague train) but wow, you don’t have to be a blind man who can now miraculously see to understand the difference. Teague was a really stupid decision by the club that had a weak board who bent to the will of supporters who let’s be honest know sweet FA about running a successful afl club. Hopefully with sayers in charge now this level of stupidity is finally past our great club.

You mean the level of stupidity you were in full support of? That level?

Sheeeesh, and that's without our #1 ruckman who is much more of a physical presence than TDK.

 

[ferrisb]

I saw a stat elsewhere saying that Hewett has slightly higher clearance numbers than Cripps.

IIRC it was 7.9 vs 7.8

I never thought I would see the day a Carlton player averaged more clearances than a fit Cripps!!!

Just unreal how good a recruit Hewett has been.



* note, Cripps average would be 8.6 if you adjust for GC match where he got injured at 1/4 time

It's so much more our set-ups and plan rather than personal.
Just compare to the disaster against the Pies in Round 2 last year

TDK is growing...

I wonder if Pitto will still be first choice at round 16?

Time will tell....

Pittonet still will be. TDK is doing his best, but is getting bullied by stronger ruckmen, particularly around the ground.
Can't be having opposition ruckmen taking intercept marks around the ground and outmuscling our ruckman at will in finals.

It goes up a few notches physically in September.

TDK is still early in his career as a ruckman, not even 23 yet, when ruckmen only start to dominate from 25 onward.
