Doesn't sound like I missed much; I was in hospital with a cracked rib and didn't follow a second of the game. I'll look at the replay today as I recover, but it sounds like the only thing I missed was Charlie's injury.
Inside 50's: 29 to 16. Tackles: 26 to 22: I'd like us to do more here, but I do understand that we're dominating the game. Marks: 55 to 65: I'd like us to do better here as well. Clearances: 24 to 13: Pitto has 6!
Half Time: Carlton 9 - 9 - 63 Preston 1 - 4 - 10 They didn't score that quarter, which says something, as we aren't that good. However, you can only play who walks out onto the field. God knows Southport found us easy to play against for a half! Billy Wilson: 14 possessions, 1 tackle. Jordan Boyd: 14 possessions, 3 tackles. Harry Charleson: 12 possessions, 6 marks; his best half so far. Patrick Dozzi: 11 possessions, 5 clearances.
Both of the Camporeale boys now have 9 each.
Interesting to have 3 of our smaller defenders having the most possessions. Mids seem to be sharing it around a bit, each one having good periods and then quiet ones.
Preston haven't kicked a goal in over 30 minutes, even with Jan-Luc Velissarius playing so well. The guy is much more complete player than he was back in the day. Patrick Dozzi having a good day: 9 possessions and 4 clearances. We've kicked 3 goals 7 this quarter. Wind? Quite possibly. We've never dealt with the wind there all that well.
Billy Wilson hasn't touched it for almost 15 minutes. Lucas Camporeale has had a strong quarter so far. Up to 9 possessions. Ben quiet: hasn't had a clearance yet.
