Post Game-Carlton v Collingwood

Game went pretty much according to the script. ;)

Quote from: Lods on
So if you're writing the script for this....

We get absolutely panned all week for yesterdays effort.
We go into this game switched on and (only)lose by about four goals.
Folks are content with that and a bit of pressure disappears.

Need more Curnows and Cripps and we also need LESS injuries.
Would someone tell that person down at the club to stop breaking mirrors, walking under ladders, seeing black cats and playing with blue voodoo dolls. It has become soul crunching.

That could have been terrible, very proud of the fellas for the effort they put in this week. There was only one response that would have been acceptable, that was it.
- How good were Crippa and Charlie? Scary thing is, they will only get better.
- Thought Bam Bam provided some good cover for Crippa today.
- Injuries were the only down side.
- As Proff said, Lamb, Mullet and Oshea are just not AFL std.
- SPS worries me.
- Polson has some pace.
- Daisy could be in strife
- Adams needs to be looked at for striking Charlie.

Solid game from our blokes given we were undermanned before and during the game vs a talented Pies team...

Cripps and Curnow the standouts, Kennedy showed he could be a good foot solider and by handballing more he was under less pressure and used the ball better.
Jones and OShea turned the ball over as per normal, Mullet avoided contact well and Obrien did likewise....Polson didnt do much and I am unsure why we signed him on for another two years? Quick but cant find the ball much allbeit he tackles well for a small..
Dow was good at times as was Fisher who has that bit of Pendlebury type class when under pressure and always delivers well...Simpson was his usual busy self and Daisy enjoyed sparring with his old teammates..
Losing Kreuzer and Plowman upset our plans but we battled on and overall it was a respectable performance given where we are on the ladder and the opposition we played.

re: SPS....started well but likes it bruise free as does Garlett......both need to improve in that area..

Just too many players not up to the standard but you couldn't question the effort.
All of our good young ones did what was expected, Simpson battled away as did Jones, Kreuzer and Thomas but no team can carry as many poor players as we do and hope to win matches.
It's going to take another few years to weed them out.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Look forward to less injuries so they don't have to play.

Lack of rotations meant that the centre square was either Kennedy OR Cripps rather than Kennedy AND Cripps. Killed the effectiveness of the 2 bulls together. Kennedy showed enough.

Yep
Charlotte's a  Modern pentathlete
Eliza's a middle distance runner
and George is a High Jumper who played some VFL
They're a pretty sporty family.....but Charlie seems a combination of the best parts of all of them

Needed another decent forward leading at the ball carrier,  a fit ruck to go against Grundy and fewer spuds in defence... Otherwise we were pretty competitive.

Bit concerned about our younger on ballets,  don't attack ball or man anywhere near hard enough.   Need some sh1t around the ball dealing out some hurt,  get the other mob looking sideways for the hit. 
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

The problem is though we only just got these guys after weeding out the last batch. ::)

I’m not sure what more people expect or want from a captain.
If that game isn’t enough I doubt not know what more he could do?

It's a shame that we're still in honourable loss territory, but given what happened last week and in other games this season, I'll take it, with a slight mopping of the brow.

We were up against it even without the injuries - the Pies are a classy and smooth outfit - they're also pretty gentlemanly and don't have that ruthlessness that some other mongrels do. They did what they had to, and no more. Having said that, I reckon they would have been a little surprised at our fight and spirit.

Well done CFC.

Yes, we only used 62 of our 90 rotations.

A lot to like this week and Charlie will be an absolute superstar. What a warrior Simmo is, love him!
Reality always wins in the end.
