Re: JLT 2018: Carlton vs St Kilda at Ikon on Wednesday

Byrne is good running down the field , both him and Jones can look a bit nervy running back towards goal....Simpson like Docherty doesnt really man up anyone and is more about rebound footy.....which is fine vs some teams but not vs a team like say Richmond and Port who have dangerous small/mediums who need close attention.
The lock down small defender/s is my problem area for our defense and where we need to find some players and lose a rebounding type....no point Simpson or Docherty getting 30 possies if a Robbie Gray type has kicked five on them....
True EB, but I think that we have a range of options to cover the Robbie Gray type forward. Ed Curnow, SOJ and others seem to spend time as defenders and I think that being able to rotate defensive players onto the opposition's best forwards will work for us.
