Game Day Rnd 0 - 🏈 Carlton v Brisbane Game Day 🏈

[LanceRomance]

Anyone think that the Lions are just flying at the moment??

Only 4 points handed out after round one…

They were given a gift with an early march game on home territory.

Plus the umps have not been rewarding our work

 

[rp84]

Well, incredibly disappointing first.

Acceptable second but let's not get carried away and suggest it was anything other than the pass mark.

So slow. Terrible ball use. Zero pressure until 8 goals down.

This ain't a team that's winning the flag this year. Losing wouldn't preclude that but a champion team does not play like that first quarter...EVER.

 

[Wickzki]

It took us nearly 45 min, to close up an extra 5 metres on an outlet opponent

Stay switched on and more bloody intent

Intent. Intent. Intent.

The key word to how successful this team can and likely will be

 

[xDQ82x]

I really dislike Brisbane. The music after each goal is atrocious.

 

[Fevolution!]

It was the same last year.

Vossy's plan A doesn't work. Needs to chuck it out and go to plan B always.

So true. If game plan A isn’t manic pressure then throw it out. Pressure trumps everything

 

[Wickzki]

Ump loves Bailey

Ever since they missed that one call his way that one time they have bent over backwards to make up for it

 

[AT97]

Boyd the only one hitting the difficult target by foot.

 

[WyntersGame_]

For me the big switch in that quarter was Docherty being moved to the backline.

He brought structure and direction. He may not be having a great game, honestly first quarter awful, but he brings a calm to the backline

Plus people being more accountable instead of letting opponents run off them

 

[xDQ82x]

Williams kicking it like he's been out of the game for 12 months. Hopefully he improves as time goes on.

 

[prisoner777]

I am feeling very uneasy about how we'll start the 3rd quarter.

 

[Red Bull]

The old honourable loss
The domain of the pretender

Serious intent from the outset
The domain of the contender

Bit to predictable unfortunately …

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

27 tackles for the whole team at half time.

Fogarty and Hollands have 6 each. Cerra has 4.

That's 11 tackles from the other 19 players. 10 players have 0 tackles.

 

[Jimmae]

It was the same last year.

Vossy's plan A doesn't work. Needs to chuck it out and go to plan B always.

Watch him convince a bunch of people Pittonet is the answer when he's fit.

Looking forward to us floating another forward 50 entry to the usual pack of 4 plus TDK

 

[NavySteel]

Coleman wouldn’t have been hurt had the umps did their one job and actually called one of the immediately prior free kicks.

Sucks for him, but he tore us to shreds last year and he was doing it again.

It’ll be interesting to see how it affects their gameplan if he’s out for the game

 

[Accidental genius]

Fog was a tackling machine that quarter

 

[Blue and Silver]

Just saw the Coleman injury.

That's rough, just a pure bad luck incident

[Sharks On A Plane]

I've always liked him but Cuningham honestly looks like he doesn't want to be out there. Not sure we can carry the flashes of sublime talent any longer if he's not prepared to get his hands dirty too.

 

[NavySteel]

For me the big switch in that quarter was Docherty being moved to the backline.

He brought structure and direction. He may not be having a great game, honestly first quarter awful, but he brings a calm to the backline

Tagged in for weiters in that sense. His direction and discipline is missed and the organisation down back is all over the shop.

Perfect call, with Weiters out, we needed a General, Doc is that cool head and direction!

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

If we don’t apply immense pressure we are Bog ordinary. Forget the layers. Anyone doubting Forgarty’s influence on this team needs their head checked. He applies pressure every quarter

 

[Wickzki]

Fog was a tackling machine that quarter

One of the few players you know will always bring the right level of intent no matter what.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Coleman wouldn’t have been hurt had the umps did their one job and actually called one of the immediately prior free kicks.

2 teams playing and being umpired as such..

 

[RPCB]

I hope “outlet opponent” is in my copy of Aussie Rules For Dummies.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Newman 33% efficiency. Everyone else is 50% or above.

 

[Red_man2008]

Brisbane know how to beat us. Man up when we have the ball and then run hard the other way off turnover and take risk.

It took the game to be nearly over before we started just going for our kicks.

I was hoping for another quick goal late. 2.4 for the quarter could have give. Us momentum if it was 4.2 with Harry’s goal and acres near miss.
