Game Day Rnd 9 - Carlton v Melbourne Game Day Discussion

[AceAndy]

Well that was as disappointing a quarter as we have played all year imo.

Not looking forward to the next quarter.

Only high point of the game was Murph's goal, my pick in ferrisb ' s goalkicking comp.

ED Curnow is far more important than Mark Murphy.

Unfair on murphy there. Clearly underdone. Shocking game from him but i blame match committee for that, not him. When fit he will be equally as important as Ed. But we can't afford to be essentially a mid down against anyone, especially the dees

Carlton remind me of Fitzroy 1996

You remind me of an idiot.

The reason Melbourne are able to run out the back of our defenders time and again is not the defenders failt, it’s completely the fault of the mid field.

Melbourne always have 3-4 free midfielders streaming through the centre so our defenders get caught out in no mans land between the forward and oncoming midfielders.

Murphy, to his credit, has had 7 tackles, but as I’ve said has looked short of a gallop.

Go Bolts. No more Mr Nice Guy!!

 

[MileHigh]

I know hes 2nd year and its a tough game but SPS avoids body contact. For a guy who rode bulls before he got drafted he notably avoids hitting into the contest. Not really making things happen like last year with his evasiveness and notably shirking contest. Needs to do at least one of those things otherwise hes just an average player.

SPS 19 possessions to 3/4 time. There’s been concerns about him this year but he’s been a shining light in this awful, awful game.

Those touches haven't been defining.

Hard when he is trying to cover on the inside while ed is out

Hard to watch but you have a well drilled Top 4 side with no injuries that will take advantage of every mistake and we make too many.

IMO this is the worst side we have put in the park in 2 years but we are fighting. Hope we fight to the end.

Very happy with Cripps Fisher Dow McKay Kerr Jones Plowman Jones SPS Lang

No it’s all Bolton’s fault. And not at all about the opposition and personnel. Not one bit. Stop being brainwashed

Sandy with the Peter Finch reference.

A genuine highlight.

 

[Bluechip66]

Jones has been good today.

Nathan?

We all know how that panned out for them

 

[Bostonian]

Plowman needs a stint in Preston. Looks disinterested. I'm sick of seeing his half hearted effort

Yeah that's the spirit. Send our best defender for the game back to the twos.

 

[Sammoll]

Kick to kick on the G has been cancelled. Can this get any worse?

 

[Mondyboy]

At the end of the day when Nick Graham and Kerridge are in your top 3 possession wise you’re in trouble. And I think Nicky has been good today, but he shouldn’t be second on that list, not if we had depth:

I really like Kerr. He is a different kind of forward than Levi and McKay. Needs good disposal to be really effective but is capable

Has not got a lot of opportunities in that quarter. Constantly double teamed when the ball in the vicinity, - which normally may be a sign of respect but today just shows how slow our other forwards are in giving another option

 

[Arr0w]

No-one ahead of him. Had to come back In side.

It's misleading because there are so many he doesn't make. His stats picked up in the quarter and he might end up being up there but when the game was on the line ...

Far from our worse problem today

Yeah but he hasn’t squibbed it.

Lets at least win a quarter. Would love to see us fight it out

Lot of possesions but not enough positive outcomes from their possessions

 

[HBF]

Garlett dead set stopped then.
