SPS still isnt giving us enough .
SPS had a very solid defensive game last night, but didn't run off his man at all.

Was SPS on Ablett?  If so, he did a great job.

At one stage in the 3rd or maybe the 4th, I thought he was off injured as I hadn't seen him for an extended period.

Anyone who doubts our game plan, most of our cattle and the recruiting of Edwardo have been quieted. That's not to say we don't still have much to work on. We sure do. Especially concentration and focus and ruthlessness for 4 qtrs.

But... we beat a good side (not great, as they may believe), in good form on their dunghill and their dunghill is a fortress.

Positives: Additions - Edwardo, Jack and Mr Pitts. The influence on our forward line and club in general of Edwardo Betts cannot be underestimated. Players will learn so much from his smarts and composure in the final minutes.

Gibbons. Especially early when there was fair-dinkum heat, he was in-and-under doing the hard things and helped in no small way, set the tone.

Good glimpses from Willo, especially breaking a tackle to lay off a good handball.

Don't underestimate the ability of Mr Pitts to put the wind up opponents. Applies excellent pressure and 2nd efforts. And Jack Martin's smarts and skills have certainly improved our club... significantly.

Loved our pressure and at last, good decisions and execution under pressure. And our ability to change gears when challenged, particularly in the first 3 qtrs.

But... concerns: again with the 3 qtrs!!!! And still not sold on Cuningham, Newnes, SOJ & H (something not quite right with the lad). Not sure what Setters job was but still waiting for him to show what made him a top 5 draft selection.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I think that’s a Jack Martin, Baggers??

Only two of our players had 20 possies or more and they were Cripps(24) and Docherty(23).....

SPS if he did the job on Ablett when the SOG was playing forward did well but 9 possies and 1 tackle wasnt great involvement and I'd rather use him up the field where he can get more footy.
Gibbons and Martin had 18 each and the latter's are always good ones but it still points to the fact we are a one band man in the middle and without Cripps firing we would struggle to beat anyone...especially with Walsh getting a tag now each week.
I think Pittonets contribution is even more valuable as his ruckwork denied a lot of 1st use ball to the Cats and he was probably BOG in terms of impact on the game.

Adding some class mids is vital to our progress and future...Wines is an important target.

Nice work Baggers. Agree on H and Cunners, Im worried about H in particular as we are pinning so much of our hopes on things. I have no worries about SOS, he works very hard both ways and keeps his opponent on his toes. Newnes even turned me just little last night, he did some work on Stevens who he obviously knows well and who has torn us a new one while at the Saints. Granted he looks about as fit as I do, but Newnes contributed which is all you all you can ask.

Probably just need to be a bit lenient on possessions given the reduced playing time. 24-5 probably equals 30+

Is that another afl error, or red time?

"Quarters have been cut from the traditional 20 minutes plus time on to 16 minutes plus time on this season, in an effort to ensure the AFL can get a full season in during the coronavirus pandemic. This in effect changes the average AFL match length from 120 minutes to 100 minutes."

But then they tell us the average quarter length since the start of round 2 is 27 minutes....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I knew getting Eddie back would make a hell of a difference ... but just not by how much.

That pass to Murphy, the holding the ball tackle awarded a free kick are just the hallmarks of impeccable timing.  Should have never let him go in the first place.  He's simply so good.

Yes, few of our blokes could execute that on their non preferred. Very few!!

Dahlhouse and menegola going down helped a lot.

I wonder if that would have changed the outcome.

For anyone who didn't notice gibbons had 7 possessions before quarter time and was brilliant early.

They might have put some time into him afterwards.  I noticed danger tag cripps a little after he couldnt get a touch early.

A good rule of the thumb is time on is about half again more of the actual playing time, hence 30 min qtrs normally from 20 min actual playing time. I would've expected around 24 min qtrs now from 16 min actual playing time, so I'd say with less playing time, hence fresher players, there's more stoppages. That maybe the other 3 min.

Be able to use the non-preferred was an essential 30-40 years ago. When I used to go to training Parko would bellow "ok now, non-dominant side". It was practiced.

They tried the old trick of playing a man off Cripps to exploit the fact he doesnt man up the opposition but Danger couldnt get near it and when he did he butchered the footy more often than not.
Then they tried to get Selwood free by having him man Cripps but Curnow wouldnt leave him alone and that didnt work either..
In reality between Danger, Selwood, Ablett and Steven they probably got one decent quarter and that was from Dangerfield in the last. Dalhaus and Menegola would have hurt their rotations being injured and with Steven next to useless they were really three down...

Beauty of having Eddie back is that Gibbons can permanently go into the midfield. That has to help. Gibbons said on SEN today trying to learn to play the small forward role last year was so difficult and with Eddie back is really appreciating being back in his natural role in the midfield.

Got a few who cant execute on their preferred either....Heath Scotland was the only Carlton player I could think of who could use both feet equally as well in recent times....gem of a pass from Eddie to Murphy.
