As a nutral supporter watching Saturday night , i was bemused of Carltons match ups in Essendons forwardline.
Walker on Gumby- Severe hieght disadvantage.
Jamo on Williams - Lacked pace and agility.
Thornton on Ryder - Lacked height and agility.
Thornton i could maybe justify cos he reads the play well but Williams was way to nimble for Jamo and you argue Williams 4 goals was the difference in the game conciderind he hadnt taken a mark inside 50 in the previous two games, and if Gumby ever had a chance to stamp is authority on a game is was against some one half his side plus i believe, played in the right position, Walker is a play maker that can penerate deep inside 50 and a capable goal kicker.
Obviously Ratten has a backline coach but the buck still stops with Ratten and his match ups were very questionable, agree or disagree?
