Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2015-Round 1 Carlton v Richmond-In game thread
Loose, disorganised, weak tackling.... Same rubbish from same blokes.  Very poor quarter from Jaksch, really weak from Murphy... Too many one way runners and getting flogged across half forward by turnovers.  Maric having a party.   Bottom four on that half.  No small forwards... No positives of any kind.

Dhoni basically lost when he lost the toss and it didn't turn as expected.  It seemed to be an easy pitch to survive on but a difficult pitch to force the pace on - so many blokes caught at mid on or short square splicing mistimed pulls suggests that it was slow and got slower as the game progressed.  Once Johnson et al found the right length and the pill(s) got softer and started to wobble around batting got difficult.

Moving Smith to 3 is a masterstroke... I should be a selector.  I get the feeling that Clarke is in the side for his captaincy and JIC the batting gets the wobbles because middle order power hitter he ain't... he's clearly a platform builder for others to follow.

I hope there are plans in place for Macullum and Vettori.

Yep,  Tutt and Jones owe the CFC big time and their future efforts need to be far superior to the shiessen dished up on Saturday.

We already have a gaping hole at 3... maybe try Smith there.  A real issue I have is the timing of Watson's dismissals... I have the perception that he tends to get out at times that are very bad for the team.

What about the Genesis missile?

All jokes aside, Nimoy was a iconic figure in popular science and inspired many kids to take up science in the 1970's when he narrated the "in search of" series.  That is a significant contribution to humanity.

But as least Boeky has some outside "hurt factor" and is a bit Camporeale-like.  We badly need his pace.  If he can emulate Isaac Smith we're on a winner.

Cripps also looks a player but he still needs to develop an AFL tank and the ability to spread.  I can remember Ratten saying (when he played that role) that it was his job to get to contests, and the more he got to, the more he influenced the outcome.  That is Cripps' future in a nutshell.

KJ looks a good long term player and a smart list management decision at this point in time.  KP defenders don't grow on trees.

Bell is a real worry.  So much good work undone with poor decision making but we so need a player of his ilk in that role against the bigger midfielders.
