Could have had 4 or 5 goals playing from the midfield, ended with 3.2. Something like 28 or 29 disposals and a game high (for the Pies) 5 or 6 clearances. Had a blinder.

Just reading the gameday thread, a worse 29 and 3 game you would not have seen.

Says more about game day threads than Carmichael’s game.
Looks like he is ready to take up the challenge, strong in the contest and likes to take them on, still feel like he is a good preseason ( shadowing) Pendles away from it though

Most of the criticism would have come in the first half, and it was valid imo. He improved markedly in the second half.

i can't say how much i hate him here...but things will be said elsewhere. He selfishly won the game for us today. He needs to have a good look at himself...

Short turn a round in matches from Anzac day to crows
Unbelievable 2nd half
Just play him

He was impressive today.
Yep. He's prob been the rawest of our mid season recruits but shows a lot of promise.

Good. Was he distributing better? My question on him is composure and awareness - lots of rushed hacks forwards and not often releasing blokes with handball when I've watched him. How did Reef play?

It's easy to forget that he's come from a long way back - not long ago he was playing country footy.

In the second half, he disposed by hand on numerous occasions with a high degree of intent and accuracy. A couple of his goals were kicked from outside 50 with booming kicks. I missed the first quarter when he apparently scrubbed kicks out of the middle. In the second half when we came from behind, his clearance work from the middle looked decisive and effective. He was easily our best player, although VFL Wilson also racked up possessions.
Murley had a great second half seemingly playing up forward much of the time.

Sounds really promising. He's got some tools. Can kick it beautifully when in space and can win the footy, so if he can start chaining up with teammates more often, we'll have a player.
Best I have seen him play today.
I love the way JC and Reef go about it. They both attack the contest and play with passion.

He was clearly the standout player in the second half. Totally dominant and moved the ball well.

This Afternoon is the best Game I seen him play for the Club.
Yes Last Year he Kicked some Big Goals but that was coming on as a Sub but Today played on the Ball and Went Forward. Kicked 3 Goals and got a Ton of Clearances
He pretty much the Reason we won today

He looked better by hand in the second half in tight but in the second half but still looks at his most dangerous running forward into a bit of space.

Agree about the hacked/rushed kicks. The most exciting thing for me today was to see Josh execute some AFL level handballs under pressure and in contested situations - can't recall seeing that from him in the past, one of the handballs was that slick that the receiver couldn't gather it - shows some great development in a side of his game that has been lacking - he still has some development in his ability to create the play - very much a get ball - kick ball player. That said, he is one of the few players on our list that can kick a goal from outside 50m.

Reef seemed a bit off to me - maybe lacking some confidence, maybe just the flu/virus/covid that seems to have gone through the club. Wouldn't mind seeing him have a run off half back to give him a chance to get more of the ball.
