Jones will beg to go back to the NBs at qtr time...lol.
Probably right: the NBs get the ball in quickly and well enough that a lead actually works sometimes.

Murphy usually does, but a lot of Carlton supporters suffer Murphy Blindness.

The two big offenders so far are Kerridge and Buckley. Pointless getting possessions if you miss targets or deliver the ball to the opponents.

Kreuzer and Phillips doing OK but we are still losing the clearances, must be the ruckmens fault! Hint, hint, Freo smashing us in contested possessions despite Murphy leading the stats for contested footy. Fans need to look elsewhere.

Fast game, Cripps not effective again so far, cannot keep up!
We lead the clearances 11-8

Gibbs got another point. At least it is a lead.

Goal to Freo. :(

We've smashed them in the ruck at least 3 to 1 but are consistently losing the advantage, so that must be a ruckmens problem! ;)

Tell Buckley about Joe the Goose, then tell him he's the goose!

Freo push all players onto the ball and in defense.

Leads to a choked mess.

Combine that with some of the worst players in AFL history and you get this.

Been doing it for years. They tried more attacking footy the first 4 rounds, but they couldn't make it work. So it's back to the same old Ross Lyon crap.

That's enough of those lead statements Crash, you're killing us!

Wright getting busy good to see!

Freo moving the ball too easy after a lot of Carlton hard work.

Goal to Wright.

Wright. Gibbs, Kerrdige and Simpson all have 11 possessions. Murphy hasn't had one this quarter yet.

I've been saying to get Jaksch in. Now i'd put him in defence as right now it should be considered a criminal offence to force anyone to play key forward for Carlton, especially a young bloke finding his`way....lol

They'll win a handful of games this year if they revert to the old slow but cannot win a final using those tactics. Good teams will rip them a new one! The 10m rule means their slow leg speed cannot deal with quick play on teams that hit targets.

We don't hit targets.

I've been the Kiss of Death so far.

Goal to Sutcliffe. We are still about 30 possessions behind. 15 minutes in and Murphy still hasn't had a possession.

Lachie Neale has overtaken him with 15.

Wish we had a guy like Walters - explosive, can take speccies, goal sneak.  Hmmm ... Wonder if that guy at the Crows is available ...

Weets - brilliant roll, gather and perfect handball.  Just like a mid.

7 point lead to Freo: a match high lead. We are about 50 possessions behind, but still ahead in forward 50s and taps.
