Game Day RND 17 - 🏈 Carlton v Collingwood Game Day 🏈

[Just Kreuzing]

He's done his 1.5 quarter cameo. Will he disappear as usual or continue?

Or rip a hammy….

 

[Stamos]

Cerra, Acres and Doc are killing us

 

[NavySteel]

Was listening on radio heading home Malthouse & Ling brutal on our players lack of effort, poor decision making, slow ball movement and terrible skillls.

Acres “horrible”

Praise for Haynes though.

Effort is there. Skills are not. Having said that, working 5 x harder than your opposition for a goal is going to drop heads.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

TDK playing like his manager has told him not to get injured.
It happens to players every now and then

 

[jj1978]

All the defence is doing is blaming each other

We need to get better at this aspect. Next years defensive coach should be Thornton.

 

[Blue By Blood]

We push so many players up the ground to get extras around the contest and leave no targets forward of the ball. Also leaves us vulnerable on the turnover as we end up woefully out of position.

It didn't work to start the season, still isn't working 2/3rds into the season.. and guess what, if we persist for the rest of the year with it, it still won't work. Dumb game plan. Plan A doesn't work. We have no plan B.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Mate, they’ve shown more than their seniors at the moment. Acres, Docherty and Cerra are probably going at 30% DE average. Can’t blame the kids for that.

Docs been pretty good actually.

Acres bereft.

Cerra needs to hit a few packs.

Moir, HOF, Evans, Lord all struggling.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

If we wait until 3 quarter time to make the sub, it will be Pittonet or TDK subbed off. If we pull the trigger earlier, it will be Lord. Coop is not having a good time of it, but if we play him on the wing, what do we expect?

On the surface, I look at it and think that Ben C has to come in for Lord, but would he do any better on a wing?

Not sure the Teddy Hopkins move is gunna do it tonight.

Admire the optimism but.

I can't believe we picked a bunch of wingers and have gone back to play a non-wing as a winger. Put Hollands back there.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Acres and Doc really hurting us. At least Doc has had some good moments. Acres is having an absolute shocker. Confidence is shot.

He can’t hit the most basic of targets.

It’s incredible he’s playing AFL. I’ve seen local players 1000x better kicks than him and can pretty much do everything else he does (whatever that is).

 

[SirSanchez]

Just no. Not scared at all. Just needs to get more time running between the arcs.

Just my observation

 

[kreuze_missile]

0 tackle half for a bloke playing in the guts

Funny that Cerra was wearing the no contact hat at training.

It’s such a shame that none of our free agent signings have fired.

The difference between contention and mediocrity.

 

[__Bobcat__]

I hope we’re shopping Curnow around already

Curnow Cripps West Coast for Harley Reid and change.

 

[Wickzki]

I hope we persist with Moir the way they have Motlop

Pump as many games into him as possible.

If he needs the occasional week off then fine but he's going to do a lot better faster by getting games at this level.

Kid has it

 

[morningbrown]

Was the captain playing that quarter? Same goes for George. Shithouse contribution from our leaders once again.

Persist with Moir the rest of the year, he’s the X factor we desperately need.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Because in a team that had standards he’d be supported by the senior KPD. Ours plays a selfish individual game that doesn’t cover the kid. It’s why Elliot trashed him after McStay took the mark.
That wouldn’t be accepted by Collingwood and Elliot knows that.
Weitering is the symptom of why this club is where it is right now
Highly talented, highly paid, highly conditional

You can't play 2 on 1 because you want to play a kid. As limited as Young is he should be in the team ahead of HOF. It's not fair on the kid when most key defenders get their first year or two to physically develop and play VFL.

 

[Soapy V]

If you don’t think it’s system and game style come and sit next to me

It’s as obvious as the nose on your face. We are playing to instruction and getting beaten. Effort is good

Game style makes good players look foolish and after 3 years they look frustrated and beaten

Pies are putting on a clinic in modern football and are going at around 60%

 

[jj1978]

Voss only way to even win this is at the half walk into the huddle and tear the playbook in half. Go play on instinct.

 

[agro]

Honestly, the only genuine mid we have anymore is Hewett, Crippa is a shell of himself and Cez is a conditional mid.

The condition being turn it over.

And now we don’t win clearances so the hurt going the other way is two-fold

 

[David Sylvian]

Arthur Daley could put together a better list than what we have.

He could also sell you a ford capri princess at the same time

 

[Accidental genius]

We were never winning this game

For me it’s now all about developing future players.

Yes they’re making errors but it’s a great learning curve and helps get their bodies conditioned for afl games.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

He’s got a bad matchup
Young has no future
Let him learn even if he gets burned

I disagree.

It’s a great way to kill a kid’s’ confidence.

He’s getting smashed.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Another problem for the young players is that the senior clique look for each other and have no trust in the young guys. They have to go searching for the pill.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Cripps is getting held out of the contest all game. If that was ND the commentators would have been bleating all game long.
