Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 7: Carlton vs. North Melbourne

I will not be happy if we can't get North beaten.
Live Long and Prosper!

Some stats:
We won the hit outs, just, at 41-39
We marginally lost the clearances 36-37.
We had 128 fewer disposals, including 102 fewer handpasses.
They had 110 more uncontested possessions.

Sorry Capt CRASH, a side we should have beaten gave us a lesson in passion, spirit and ruthlessness.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

8.14 is poor football. North's 229 to our 127 hand passes really highlights the run and carry game......and our lack of pressure :-(

I thought their use of handball was very impressive.
There always seemed to be a team-mate on hand to take possession.
I guess that's part of playing like a team....I think we still have a bit of a way to go with that aspect.

Another example of our team saving their worst football for a side we should be beating. Next week we'll get absolutely shellacked. I can't see Bolton lasting  till the end of the year now. Who would want to coach Carlton? It's a f%×$in death trap for coaches.

He'll be joined by at least 60 000 others.
Man. Just shows our best without too many injuries is there abouts.
A few injuries and we're not AFL standard.

Early last week I was thinking our defense is really holding up. Our mids are gelling but likely to be inconsist. Our forward line is developing. A week later and our defense is wiped out with injuries, leaving us hobbling on one foot.

All the best to Liam Jones. I'd expect him to miss next week as best case scenario.

Presser will likely cause widespread nausea for Bluebaggers. Be prepared.

My condolences to those who spent their hard earned and suffered the same feat as 2018.

What about passion, tenacity and ruthlessness? Any stats available on those most important indicators?

Plowman looked to hurt his shoulder towards the end too.
Defence has been our strength this year.
We'll struggle to field a defence next week.

And yes... all the best for Jones.

Shizen, rumours, please note rumour, Jones might have a neck fracture.

Broadcasters refused to show the injury / incident until they realised he was at least conscious.

Very rare that they would take that stance, so they must've got word very early on that it was very serious. Given it was essentially an in play footballing incident.

FWIW, i rewound it a few times, was he awarded the mark for that because he took it.
Given the North bloke went the bump on him, he is liable for an accidental head clash and the resulting injury?

"If you want to bump, you have to suffer the consequences if a player gets injured"


Lets see if they've softened that stance.

Swans are on the bottom now. We lost to them too.

Today there was a clear disconnect from half back through to half forward.

This is what happens when you lose 313 games of experience on one side (Simpson) and a solid contributor on the other side (Newman) and replace them with a first gamer (Stocker) and a bloke who hasn't played an AFL game for over 2 years.

We just couldn't get setup today and move the ball

They will apply the same "usually" rule that seems to be the overarching rule of the AFL.
Usually means it applies to 17 teams..... you know the rest. .
