Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 6 2024 Post Game Review Carlton vs GWS
Last post by crashlander -[2] Tom de Koning was excellent, but his best work was up forward with 3 goals. His snap on the right foot was a classic!
I think there is a spot for both of them, especially if we get the ball out of the middle. Very few teams can handle 3 marking options. God knows we struggle.
[3] I don't remember how many tackles we had in the first half, but we were well behind. The tackles pressure lifted enormously just before half time. We still ended up with only 52 to their 68, but ours in the second half were a lot more effective. It made a difference.
[4] We had more than 30 more contested possessions than GWS did. We owned the contested ball after half time. It was lovely to see.
[5] We managed to win with little output from Jacob Weitering, even thought he was quite good early. The other defenders stood up. I liked Cowan's game. Boyd was ordinary early, but stepped up, as was Lewis Young.
Toby Greene had 18 disposals, but kicked only a point or two, and had very little impact on the game. His opponent, on the other hand, had a significant impact.
[6] Ollie Hollands had his best game for the year. Not yet to the form he was in last year, perhaps but he did important things at important times.
Elijah was quieter, but his goals were a good reward.
[7] Cripps was super-human today, but Walsh wasn't far behind. For that matter, Hewett and Kennedy had excellent games.
