Review Good/Bad vs Carlton - Rd 15

[Scorpus]

Terrible standard of football

 

[dogs105]

Meh

 

[MatthewB]

Good - still in the hunt for Horne

 

[mattymac]

I'm happy to be picking before these eternal bottom feeders at the draft

 

[Dewy006]

Short term pain, long term gain. This weekends results really opened up a high end draft pick for us and god knows we need it.

 

[texanmike]

sloane disgraceful effort from the get-go, schoenberg impressed, tex doing tex things, fogarty looking more of a dud every week being outmuscled by a scrawny defender every contest, TT got a bath from an experienced defender, but also seemed to me his competitiveness was off, maybe drank his own bathwater during the week off? Pretty terrible result considering the opposition we're playing.

 

[mattymac]

Haha epic cripple fight

 

[Mutineer]

Liam Jones the big difference, gave Thilthorpe a footballing lesson and anyone else that contested with him.

 

[Billyblanks]

Bad - McAdam, mackay and kelly.
Mchenry brain hurts were disappointing

 

[pjcrows]

It was like watching two teams in the 2nd year of a rebuild. But one of them is a decade in...

Showed onfield grit which is good away from home. Even when we were good under Pyke we'd often lose by 30+ when the going got a bit tough. These guys don't quit.

A lot to work on and still in the hunt for a Top 4 pick.

Good - Another game into the young players. Honourable loss (in the sense we could have won it)

Jones

Is there any chance that our coaching group looks at our midfield and realise that we need to start making changes ASAP? Though it was nice seeing Mackay under the ruckman's hand late in the game.

 

[Scorpus]

I like how we saw GWS successfully tag Walsh and thought "nah, let's just let him have 35 touches instead"

 

[Crowstar]

Whats the point of beating Geelong, Melbourne when you lose to Carlton, Hawthorn and Collingwood.
New coach, same weak minded soft efforts.
Senior players playing pathetic standard of football - Smith decision making, Sloane in general, Brown dropping sitters, Mackay being Mackay.
Nothing changes except the opponent

 

[Crow till I die]

Good. Better draft position, jones got some good ball today, laird just racks it up

Bad. Thilthorpe was handed a lesson from a good 1 v 1 defender today. He will.learn from that

Ugly. The game itself..horrible footy today

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Hate Sunday games, the whole thing just stunk stunk real bad. Plus there was a stench over the whole comp today thanks to covid. The whole thing just stinkeroo. Thanks for the tickets tho.

 

[Scorpus]

One thing is for sure.

Under Don Pyke and prior coaches, we frequently gave up.

Under Nicks we rarely give up.

Premiership winning teams are trustworthy and don't give up. We're on a path to that

 

[Peter Doherty]

Thought Jones continued to show signs.

 

[Geoffa32]

One of the main takeaways for me would be Thilthorpe's game.

I hope the coaches/development staff go through the footage with him and he is shown ways to use his body legally.

10 or so games in, and I think that could be a weakness. One on one contests against a genuine FB.

Yeah he is a kid, but something for him to work on. If not, he may end up more if a Ruckman than true forward.


Kicking 6 points early, a joke. Along with Sholl's miss.

Forward delivery was terrible. But that is pretty much part of our club fabric.

Many things were the difference. 0.6 didnt help.

 

[Interloperer]

Not too often you'll see a player start with 2 goals before quarter time and end up being worst (non-injured) player on ground by magic AFL space points.

 

[hey shorty]

30 minutes of unacceptable defensively inept midfield.

The rest was better.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I like how we saw GWS successfully tag Walsh and thought "nah, let's just let him have 35 touches instead"

We shouldn't be tagging anyone at our stage

 

[Golumless]

Considering we're in a rebuild, it's probably the best result long-term at the moment.

That said, I look forward to when we're at the part of the rebuild where we can string four consistent quarters together, and not 3 with one where we're puss.

Quick run down on how some of the kids went:

Thilthorpe got given a bath by Jones. Hard to be critical of it, it is probably about time an AFL quality key got a hold of him.
Our Jones looked good for the most part, some of those kicks were superb and was a pitbull.
Sholl was quiet. Sinks the goal at the end and it's a solid outing, but I'm hopeful that was just a bit of inexperience coming through.
Schoenberg had a really good third, and not much else.
We had the best and worst of McHenry this week.
Butts was ok, difficult gig especially without having Doedee as a floating tall.
Berry and Hamill were effectively non-existent. It happens.
Fogarty got two goals at least.

Can't agree with that.

Smashed in the middle for an entire quarter
