JLT 2017 Wk2/AFLW R4 - Melbourne v Carlton (DBL Header), Casey Fields, from 11.35am, Foxfooty

Gee I am happy Melksham wanted out. Hes terrible.

Certainly a bit fumbly today, been a bit disappointing but I'm pretty sure he'll be fringe anyway. Hibberd started to come into it late in that quarter.

It is a preseason game, and it isn't like the old NAB Cup, there is no Grand Final for the teams that win.

Just disappointing as a fan wanting to see some of the young kids play, playing against a side that is clearly playing at a higher intensity level just doesn't promote that at all.

Should just have 4 full rounds in 4 weeks and the coaches can deal with when to rest who imo.

 

[Sprout]

Gee I am happy Melksham wanted out. Hes terrible.

Isn't looking best 22 atm.

Oliver on the other hand could be even better than I thought. The kid is a freak.

 

[lionshine]

I know it is only a pre season match but the Demons look fantastic.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Gee I am happy Melksham wanted out. Hes terrible.

Saw him pull out of a contest, but not much else. To be fair tho, it was Kreuzer coming the other way.

Dees look very impressive. Blues rusty. And doing weird s**t with the interchange.

 

[MUYB]

I'm loving Petracca's vision today, two in a row he could have had a rushe snap, decided instead to hit up a player who's either free or mismatched on his opponent.

I know it is only a pre season match but the Demons look fantastic.

Indeed, & to date I've been reasonably bullish in the direction the Blues are headed, maybe this is the wakeup call I needed...

 

[rumply]

anyone just see that?...

 

[HumanMeatball]

Carlton look absolutely horrible. There haven't named a weak side either. Bottom 2 side I reckon

 

[davis_756]

how can you call that holding the ball, he was tackled before his feet hit the ground ffs

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Feel bad for Carlton fans they won't be seeing finals action for a few years.

It is all intensity my friend, we are just out here for match fitness in week 1 while melbourne are drilling for round 1 with their last home game

 

[King Kunta]

Does it give anyone else the shits when they use close up camera angles mid play? Can't see what's happening

You just don't have a midfield, going to have trouble finding the ball imo

 

[Sprout]

lol @ Frawley thinking Neal-Bullen's first name is Neal

 

[HumanMeatball]

Pretraca looks like a less strong but slightly better kick Dustin Martin will be very good

In fairness their mid isn't that bad. Cripps and Gibbs are good mids. Their forward line is the issue for mine

 

[HumanMeatball]

They lack pace all there mids are similarly average to slow

 

[PerfectFooty]

I didn't realise we'd picked up Dion Johnstone in the 2015 draft. i was under the impression it was 2016

 

[Substance]

are carlton missing many defenders? Their structure is hopeless.

 

[Chaisa]

No. Only clear cut Best 22 player out is Cripps.

 

[PerfectFooty]

We've seen 4 teams so far step into JLT for the first time, Carlton now number 5. All have looked ordinary in their first JLT. Nothing to concerning, not saying Carlton are finals bound, but this result isn't as bad as it seems

 

[Beer n Skittles]

I forgot how fun it is watching Carlton

Feel bad for Carlton fans they won't be seeing finals action for a few years.

The way they're playing could go 15 years without winning a final. Any tips for coping?

 

[Bluelegs]

Tracc looks so awesome.

 

[Bluelegs]

Kreuzer playing like an absolute tool.
