Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne

Like the last few rounds, I will complete the name for the thread when the game is over. I may not have the most positive vibe about this one: we have been effected by a LOT of injuries to key guys. But you never know what can happen.
Live Long and Prosper!

I believe in omens, my prediction was correct so I will go again this week. I will run with:
"Who woulda thought"
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

On the bright side we have Brisbane and St.Kilda after that.

They're certainly more gettable, particularly Brisbane.

Our mids go missing when there are bigger bodies around the ball. Selwood, Danger, Caddy, Gutherie next week...

Plenty of fumbly joes out there. Curnow had 3 good cracks at goal and just doesn't finish as a good midfielder should.

Doc, Weiters, Plow, Byrne lots of one touches and clean hands. Cripps as well.

Please bring in KJ to see what he can do instead of  Walker and Everitt.

We are competitive to the end, just no forward structure

We did lead the possession count, and had a number of guys with a lot of the ball. Gibbs, Kerridge and Docherty had 29 possessions each. Cripps had 28 after a big last term. But we could not get the ball out of the centre.

49-46 Inside 50's in North's favour.
13-9 Marks inside 50 in North's favour.

Pretty comparable stats that don't hint at an 11 goal touch up.

The ball is certainly getting in there as you say.............

and then comes flying right back out.

Think we should have played Wood tonight along with Gorringe...the former is no star but he would have negated Goldy a bit more and Gorringe could have been used forward ....wasnt too disappointed in Gorringe who has some ability but his ruckwork is novice like.

Walker tried to find some space but didnt kick well and Everitt lost interest having to play on the North tall backman....

Gibbs and Murphy were only average even though Gibbs stats showed he had a bit of ball...thought Kerridge worked hard along with his Crow teammate Wright but Cripps was a slow starter and couldnt find much space.

Zac Touhy continues to frustrate me with his decision making....

Gorringe - goal of the week ^-^
Kerridge's goal - umpiring blue of the week :'(

Drop Everitt, bring in Wood and play Gorringe up forward in the Casboult role.

Prefer to bring Jaksch in rather than play Gorringe. He contested marking will be very handy. Wood can ruck most of the day, as he did last year, with a bit of relief from someone, anyone, for a few minutes here and there.
