Game Day Rnd 23 - Carlton v Geelong Game Day Discussion

[mrkyuss]

This needs to be Delucas last game, he isn’t up to this level.

 

[Doro]

Career tally of 42.29 until Round 11 this year.

Had a groin injury, couldn't push through it, and after a couple of games was rested with no surgery. Returned and couldn't kick for s**t.

I'm guessing adductor, but I don't know the nature of the injury. His hip strength and movement is fine, so he can snap, but he can't seem to commit to his normal action without pulling it short and tugging his leg left to right.

Looks a bit like O.P with the loss of power. Seems a rarity now, but Daniher had it and he's a similar physical specimen.

in the back? no? ok

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Because he's paid to have opinions and we've been s**t for most of the time he's been paid to have opinions?

Nah, even when we made the finals under Ratts, he never rated us on The Footy Show and other media outlets.

 

[LanceRomance]

Thanks Lance, i need to work on my emoticon game.

It's all about the process.

To quote teaguey.. That will get better.

Gary Lyon - "I'd hate to think where Carlton would be without Cripps, Curnow and Murphy today"

Ya reckon Gaz, our 3 best mids, ya reckon?

 

[Crippa#9]

Lochie O’Briens body language...
he’s already accepted he’s going to have a bad day. Needs to lift Lochie. Did the same thing against Richmond in the wet.

 

[RoyalBlues]

handy point?

 

[95blues]

Is O'brien playing?

Week after week invisible first 3 quarters.

Gets 8 - 10 touches in the 4th though.

 

[jooce8891]

anyone spotted cuningham yet?

 

[Jimmae]

Two unanswered goals is achievable, Geelong clearly do not have the aerobic capacity to sustain the performance they have so far. Love their spuds and whey down in Geelong town.

59 - 37 is a reasonable return given what's transpired. Another goal would have Geelong scared.

Just have to dig deep ... they’ll cave ...

 

[Bordertoon]

Although things are not going their way, imo Murph, Crippa, and Ed are doing their very best to lead here - others need to follow.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

You can't say the boys ain't giving it all, even if the margin is probably too far now to peg back

Ed Curnow has been superb.

 

[bluemahogany]

How the **** is Narkle the best player I've ever seen?

the inconsistent umpiring sh*ts me. Cripps intentional when he tried to hit a target, ablett not intentional when he kicks straight to the boundary...

 

[Blubagger71]

Didn't he kick the goal to put us in front last week? Recency bias. From quite a few.

 

[chelseacarlton]

**** **** ****
No no no
Hurty hurty hurty

 

[mediumsizered]

Walsh yet to touch it this quarter. I think he has finally run out of petrol. Took until the last game, unlike his draft peers who mostly faded around the halfway mark of the season, or never got out of 1st gear at all.

 

[mrkyuss]

Week after week invisible first 3 quarters.

Gets 8 - 10 touches in the 4th though.

High intensity = too tough. The same reason at training he has the best skills on the team, yet will miss a goal from 30 in front. All a mental game.

Agenda.

 

[95blues]

Lol Dow. Strong.

 

[thylacine60]

Cripps was trying to kick the ball to LOB & it slewed off his non-preferred therefore the call could not be deliberate, unless of course an umpire has no idea that sometimes players do kick the ball unintentionally off the side of their boot.

not like they have anything much else to do - lets add criticism for not guessing accurately...........gee those umpires, eh?

 

[Jimmae]

Can't burn opportunities and easy defensive mop ups like we have. Using players like Kennedy and an underdone Cuningham when you already want to play a tall forward line and a short midfield creates this kind of situation where we get bulldozed out of the centre and can't win the ball high up the ground.
