Re: Rd 15: Post Game Frustrations: Carlton vs Collingwood

I thought Curnow did the job on Treloar but Pendlebury destroyed us ...Greenwood(23 possies/9tackles/one goal) did the job on Gibbs IMO and while Gibbs was reasonable I thought Greenwood intimidated him and reduced his effectiveness including a forearm to the face which Gibbs didnt respond hard enough to IMO.
I think Gibbs has been good but both he and Murphy need some help in the rough stuff dept and I reckon someone like Robbo out there last night might have made life easier for Gibbs.
We desperately need a couple of quality mids to step up when Gibbs, Murphy or Cripps is tagged. Someone like Gowers to hit the pack hard and take out the tagger wouldn't go astray either.
I use binoculars when the action is a bit far off and I saw Gibbs land a couple of good ones on Greenwood. Hopefully they were subtle enough to avoid MRP scrutiny.
