Surely we can't go again with the 3 smalls in Durdin, Owies and Motlop....it's simply not working? Our midfielders don't hit the scoreboard. Charlie manages to find goals nearly every week and without him, we'd be even further down the ladder. Is it time to just simply try something different? Play Marchbank down back and push McGovern forward....drop Young...Sydney aren't blessed with tall forwards at the moment with their injuries. Brink TDK back in. I don't really get to see the VFL games but Dow another big game with 40 possessions. That said, SCG is a small ground which probably doesn't help us.

IMO Dow was BOG with TDK next so in a normal world there would be a case for both of them to come in but in the Carlton universe it's highly unlikely. Well Dow getting a game anyway

marc Murphy has them both covered.

I thought Kemp deserves a promotion as much as anyone from what i saw today.
Was probably harsh not to be playing already TBH.

Might be time to give Ed a rest. Dow can come in for him....or at least as the sub.

Yep, absolutely.

Double-yep, but it ain't going to happen

I thought Vossy's presser was honest, measured, and delivered with relative confidence. Good for him. He was a brutal competitor. Let's hope he can withstand whatever criticism comes his way, and get the team to click.

Feels to me like a lot is good enough, but a few key things have some ways to go. It's like watching a cyclist on a moving velodrome. As one manoeuvre is successfully executed, the next challenge is unexpectedly approaching at speed.

Yep
It may be time to give Cripps a change of scenery.

Seriously, I'm not sure there was a lot in it but we'll put our own interpretations on it.

There's a general feeling that Cripps may have played a large part in Teague's demise.
That could also extend to Bolton.
But that's speculation.

What is probably not speculation is that Cripps wields a lot of influence over the playing group.

If it did come to a showdown it may be that the Captain moves this time rather than the coach.

But as I said that's speculation, maybe even wild speculation.

5 Coaches, same as Ed.

Look at the stats and across the board it was an 'even' contest.
Same inside 50's
Same tackles
Similar contested possessions
Similar turnovers
Similar 1%
Similar disposal efficiency (we actually had slightly better)
Same efficiency inside 50.

Ultimately, they converted, we did not.
They were under less pressure than we were under, all over the ground, including in front of goal.

A bit more luck in front of goal, tables are turned, pressure is reversed, its game on.
But they got too much too soon and blew us out of the water. We came back but they are too good to let us make a difference.

6 including Barker, and Murphy was here for pagan.

Murphy wasn't here for Voss though
