Rd 9: In Game Angst: Carlton vs North Melbourne

May 21, 2016, 10:31:26 am

I have missed a couple of game this year, unavoidably, it is true, but not what I really want to do. This is going to be another one: knee surgery yesterday left me unable to make it. Next week will be my daughter's 1st communion. Frustrating.
More frustrating is that we are not on free to air TV. Nichevo. I will be stuck in front of the computer screen tonight.

For those who can get there, enjoy! I will be thinking of you.

I am hoping that Gorringe can do something.

We are on. 2 inside 50s to none, but no score yet.

Goal to Dale Thomas!

Goal to Ziebel. We are now behind, 6 points to 7 points.
Ziebel 4 possessions.

Goal to Brown.

Down in clearances 1 to 5. Down on contested ball 5 to 10.

We have had 10 more possessions so far: all handballs.

Now we've had double the possessions, and Curnow kicked a point. Everyone except Weitering and Walker have had a touch.

We've had 2 taps, while they've had 7. Gorringe has 1 tap, Thomas has the other.

No goals for 10 minutes.

I should have crap up: goal to Lindsay Thomas.

We kick points, they kick goals.

Carlton 1 - 2 - 8
North 4 - 1 - 25

As expected, Goldstein is killing us. No centre clearances to us still.

Carlton 2 - 2 - 14
North 4 - 2 - 26

Walker gets a goal. Possessions have evened up somewhat, but it is the clearances that are the difference.
Goal to Brown
Carlton 2 - 2 - 14
North 5 - 2 - 32

Every Blues now has at least 1 possession.

Looking ominous. 5 goals to the Kangabies in the first qtr so far... gulp.

Quarter time and my fears look to be realized: Goldstein is the difference.

Carlton 2 - 2 - 14
North 5 - 3 - 33

We have done OK around the ground, but we are being killed in the middle. Goldstein has given them advantage every single time.
Our tackles are up, but we can't get the initiative.
