I am putting the acid on defence Coach Gavin Brown:

There were 2 snap shot forward pocket goals by the Port Forwards but no Carlton defender blocked the Half Forward / forward pocket space to prevent them running off the mark at right angles....

BASIC ERROR AND LAZY FOOTBALL.......

The Trengrove to Westhoff goal was a shocker....the bloke on the mark had his back to the play and was casually marking the turf when the Hoff strolled into kick the goal....the player on the mark and the player minding Westhoff should be doing a lot of pushups and running this week...

Andrew Walker come on down!

For mine Levi plays, big blokes like him don’t get any smaller come finals. 

If I remember correctly there were a couple of NB games I think finals or play offs for final spot where he played very very well he might just be a big game player.

Casboult must play.

He is better than Rowe for marking, splitting packs and hitting bodies - which is essential for the Halter Skelter of a final

His kicking is a real problem but is off set by the above.

Maybe 2E should always be lurking when Casboult lines up to kick, ready for the hand off?  8)

Kreuzer is no doubt best used as first ruck, resting forward, and he and Warnock should compete for that spot each week (even if Warnock struggles forward), i.e. we only ever play one of them at a time.

If we can snare a another Fwd for 2014 who can chop out in the ruck or someone like Casboult steps up a bit, then that's what I think might happen. Would not be surprised to see us recruit a junior ruckman either, enabling, say, Warnock to be traded out in a couple of years.

After listening to MM's after match presser I wonder what he thinks of Casboult?

The question of Casboult's kicking was raised and MM seemed resigned to the fact that it would be difficult to correct his fundamental technique, as it would be in any player of his age. He did seem to think that something could be done to work through the problem though - not sure what he meant.

Bottom line was that he didn't seem too phased and maybe Casboult is safe fo Sunday - he seemed a lot more concerned about Kreuzer's performance.

Don't think Bell will be traded - he's definitely part of our future IMO. Same for Curnow who is developing very well IMO, contrary to my own expectations I might add.  :-[


Bell has a deal to be upgraded...Essendon offered last year but we wanted to keep him as a rookie so we had to do a deal where we would upgrade him the next year.

Good! Thanks EB1 for that info.

Listening to Dunstall and Healey they were saying that we went a lot smaller in our forward line after Casboult was subbed, as the taller set-up was obviously not delivering results.
Once we had the smaller forward structure in place we were then able to put a lot more pressure on Port's defence  and kill their drive out of there, hence helping in turning things round dramatically to our advantage.
Sounds about right to me and a good coaching move to boot!.
