I wouldn't be dropping Kemp unless you have someone banging the door down in the VFL.

He is doing a lot right and has been pretty good.   Just needs to finish his work.    Could watch a bit of Gunstan's work.    Doesn't waste it and can draw an odd free kick.

Score Assists:   1.118 (4th)
Score Impact:   13.588 (1st)
Goals:   24 (2nd)
Marks:   5:118 (Behind McKay only as a forward)
MarksInside50:  2.176 (1st)

And consider he has only been a forward for a short period of time.

Kemp is a good kick for goal generally.
He had a terrible patch earlier this year but that's not the norm.

Even with that terrible patch, he's better than McKay who has won a Coleman.

Make him the 3rd tall.
Get mids who can kick
Kemp is no longer a 'problem'

Inclined to agree. . Kemp is one Carlton forward prepared to lead for the ball. Just needs to keep working on his kicking for goal.

I can't remember the last time I went to a game and saw standing water on the G.  Apparently 10ml in an hour!

Hawthorn's positioning, toughness and adaptability was streets ahead of ours.  Losing Hewitt didn't help, but Acres would have been handy.  Not sure about our tactic of bombing it into the forward line.  Didn't seem to work very well.

The 50m penalty - enough has been said, but it energised Hawks and deflated us.  Result wouldn't have been different, but it becomes a different game.

Good result for our son's mate who came along, but that was about it.  Even the Hot Jam Donut after the game had cold jam in it - so disappointing.

Carlton
Vs top 6 - 0-6
Vs bottom 5 - 5-0
Vs middle 7 - 3-3

Explain how?
Doesn't matter who the coach is, results follow ladder perfectly.

MMB said the ladder doesnt lie.

Under Voss we were 17th.

under fraser we have won 7 of 8 and now sit in 12.

All the rest is spin as usual.

OK, well in that case, after R1 we were 1-1 and sat 11th. So Voss is the better coach then? You said it.


If you are going to argue nonsense, nonsense will be thrown back at you.

Sort of thought that while the Hawks were the better side, we played ok up until 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

The Ginnivan goal, the free to Gunstan for high contact after he fell and finally the Ison error with 6 minutes to go with his kick missing Walsh took all the air out of the game.   2 or 3 inside 50 entries resulted in a Hawthorn uncontested marks, which given the conditions was a poor outcome.

Credit to Hawthorn.   They own us in recent times

....and we own Geelong.

When you look at the opposition, not the coach, all our results make sense.

Why are you pulling me into this

GWS and Bulldogs own us and we own North ;)
