Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne May 21, 2016, 10:33:51 am Like the last few rounds, I will complete the name for the thread when the game is over. I may not have the most positive vibe about this one: we have been effected by a LOT of injuries to key guys. But you never know what can happen. Last Edit: May 21, 2016, 10:00:50 pm by crashlander

Re: Rd 9: Post Game _____: Carlton vs. North Melbourne Reply #6 – May 21, 2016, 10:00:28 pm Our mids go missing when there are bigger bodies around the ball. Selwood, Danger, Caddy, Gutherie next week...Plenty of fumbly joes out there. Curnow had 3 good cracks at goal and just doesn't finish as a good midfielder should.Doc, Weiters, Plow, Byrne lots of one touches and clean hands. Cripps as well.Please bring in KJ to see what he can do instead of Walker and Everitt. We are competitive to the end, just no forward structure
Re: Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne Reply #7 – May 21, 2016, 10:03:00 pm We did lead the possession count, and had a number of guys with a lot of the ball. Gibbs, Kerridge and Docherty had 29 possessions each. Cripps had 28 after a big last term. But we could not get the ball out of the centre.

The ball is certainly getting in there as you say.............and then comes flying right back out.
Re: Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne Reply #9 – May 21, 2016, 10:07:47 pm Think we should have played Wood tonight along with Gorringe...the former is no star but he would have negated Goldy a bit more and Gorringe could have been used forward ....wasnt too disappointed in Gorringe who has some ability but his ruckwork is novice like.Walker tried to find some space but didnt kick well and Everitt lost interest having to play on the North tall backman....Gibbs and Murphy were only average even though Gibbs stats showed he had a bit of ball...thought Kerridge worked hard along with his Crow teammate Wright but Cripps was a slow starter and couldnt find much space.Zac Touhy continues to frustrate me with his decision making....
Re: Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne Reply #10 – May 21, 2016, 10:08:40 pm Gorringe - goal of the week Kerridge's goal - umpiring blue of the week

Re: Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne Reply #13 – May 21, 2016, 10:18:08 pm Drop Everitt, bring in Wood and play Gorringe up forward in the Casboult role.

He contested marking will be very handy. Wood can ruck most of the day, as he did last year, with a bit of relief from someone, anyone, for a few minutes here and there.
