Few more thoughts now that the disappointed has subsided a bit.
- Last year we beat them with Sweet solo rucking (albeit with a fit and firing Josh Bruce
as well). Timmy was fantastic in all areas except the ruck. Someone mentioned earlier the Blues got all the hit outs to advantage early, it was worse than that. I think it took until the 4th quarter for Tim to even show up on the screen when they showed hit outs to advantage. He simply cannot ruck against brute Ruckman, even if they are a journeyman spud like Pitto.
- We have nobody with closing speed in defence. Curnow who hadn’t played for 3 years easily got 5m on all our guys, same with McKay.
- I lost count how many times we had 3 guys fly for the ball against 1 or 2 Blues players. Happened in both attack and defence. We have zero crumbing presence (where the hell are Vanders and Cody?). 2-3 times we were in a dangerous position about 40m our from our goal and within 5-10 seconds Carlton had kicked a goal.
- Twice Vanders and Hunter were our sole targets when entering F50, simply unacceptable in the third quarter. Simply unacceptable.
