What is this?
TDK  in an interview interview told of how when Charlie calls "iso", he wants them to clear the space and give him room (ie I assume iso means isolate). For me, divulging tactics in the media in any way shape or form is a no no. I get it, opo coaches know stuff about you already, but let them find it out themselves, dont give the info to them. Attention to detail.

Charlie is interesting at the moment. I can see that he is trying to keep his feet and impact the secondary contest when it hits the deck. TBH today I would have liked to seen him run and jump at/on a few packs. He was a little 1 dimensional I thought.
As for TDK telling the world  about "iso" in the media recently, not very clever.

During the TV commentary, Dunstall repeatedly spoke about the anti Carlton umping decisions. At one point he said Carlton are playing against 2 teams.

I'm not suggesting that excuses our many shortcomings but it does validate what some folk saw.
What stood out for me was Cripps jumper being pulled at most stoppages, he got a few and they missed a few more.

Yep. The end.

I'm hoarse from my all too frequent umpiring advice 😮‍💨

6 days on, we're up against the other best in the business.

Rest, recover, review, reset.
Go Blues
I find yelling at the screen or at the umps when at the ground about as futile as the players arguing the point with them. Yeah there were some bad ones missed, but there were plenty they didn't get either. When you watched them just get on with it and we were carrying on about them, they made us pay every time. They are such a professional outfit, at the moment they just dont lose focus. I've just always been a bit meh about umpiring, had we not have butchered the ball, we could have easily won. Make no mistake, we did a lot right, we also did too much wrong (mainly skill errors under their pressure).
C'est la vie.

Lost opportunity against the best in the business right now. Look at the stats and you'd reckon we'd won. 21 more I50s but just butchered the ball in front of goal and around the ground. Other than Weiters the defence was spanked today more so early on.
They are well coached, well drilled and as the commentators said do everything well. What they are right now is what we need to become, simple as that.
Our best IS good enough.
