Game Day RND 23 - 🏈 Carlton v Port Game Day 🏈

[T2B_]

I'd let Harry concentrate on his own rather than burden him with leadership, neither he or Charlie are natural leaders.

Fair

 

[jj1978]

It's interesting because for some of his faults, I'd have said H has always shown more in that department than Charlie.

Yep he shows empathy and care to his teammates, feel Charlie is more in his own world

 

[myblueroan]

Apparently he has pace, but I've seen nothing from him at any level yet

1 year contract so there must be something.

 

[Opium]

Nice shoutout from Crippa for big H

Cripps had a massive second Qtr. Kudos for lifting. How good is Cooper Lord in the guts

 

[juzza316]

Won't happen, Walsh is back #Believe

Please dont say 'Walsh' and 'back' in the same sentence

 

[Monty1978]

Harry plays well as the lone wolf … he looks happy and enjoying himself , love it .. Walsh, lord and Hewitt have been everywhere … Cripps with a couple has been nice

 

[Blue and Silver]

Scoring goals from 31% of inside 50's.

Got to be our best this year

 

[mochacinolatte]

Amazing what happens when the coach allows Cooper Lord to play as a midfielder.

O’Keeffe gives me Darcy Cameron vibes. Wonderful clean hands.

Good signs.

It is changing of the Guard, it needs to happen soon.

 

[2blue4u]

When did we get all these different players from?. Full of run and carry.

I think when you move from a game plan that floods the bakline with 16 players it helps. Be interesting to see if that changes. Still need to accept the fact Port aren't great and also a bottom 4 side at this stage.

 

[Styxx]

83 at a half?

Hot damn

 

[Blues2013]

I'm leading the Cooper Lord bandwagon, that's it.

He is selfless and reminds me of a mini Cripps minus the hospital handballs.

 

[gunslingr]

Not sure but I’m going to guess
Size
Speed
Kicking penetration

He’s not brilliant at anything but got good smarts and vision

Pretty elite at always giving a damn I reckon

 

[Ezayyak]

It is changing of the Guard, it needs to happen soon.

This is an interesting point
.

 

[katmanblue]

Good to see Kemp is back from his European adventure

 

[Mondyboy]

First off, Cooper Lord.

Not enough love for Frank the Tank who does all the little things.

Port threw everything at Freo last week. They look cooked. If not for Butters I doubt they would have scored.

Anything can happen in a second half against Carlton, but there's been so little pressure in this game, I'd be surprised if the guys were exhausted.

 

[GoBlues!]

Wow, 13 goal half, awesome display by our team.

It’s been a while since our forward line has clicked.

Our half time score of 83 points is better than the full time scores in 17 of our 21 games this year!!

 

[gunslingr]

It's interesting because for some of his faults, I'd have said H has always shown more in that department than Charlie.

Can’t help but think they went on extrovert/introvert lines

(don’t know either personally but Harry is surely an introvert)

Doesn’t explain Weitering at the other end but which other defender would it have been

 

[Mondyboy]

Haven’t been to a game since the Norf one. Have some today. Not regretted. Yet.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Geez Scull is looking more impressive by the game, his ceiling has the potential to be a very good player…

 

[gunslingr]

Everyone else get that Sixt ad? Talk about amateur hour…

 

[gab213]

A second ruckman who can take a mark and kick a goal, it's been too long.

 

[jj1978]

I wonder if some of Wrights comments regarding the list not being good enough has stung them a little.

 

[tarczonandjane]

It's not a grinding game either. A nice balance. The players don't look exhausted either.

No major brain fades either.

I always reckon the great strength of the Lions is that they can play bruise free footy when they can. But when their turn to hit things up comes along, they step almost seamlessly into that harder brand of football.

Your observation is a good one, ODN. Hopefully this game is a little sign of being able to develop our game into something more sustainable.

 

[Juddrockz]

Where's this been all year?
Great half of football by the Blues

 

[SurreyBlue]

Has TdK decided to stay?
His ruckwork has been spectacular today
