Fans tend to look in one direction, coaches will be watching Mitchell's opponent as well. It's probably what stops Mitchell being dominant, if he could put the breaks on an opponent as well he'd be better than most.

Not saying that he wasn't BoG this week, but he's had a lot of big stat games this season and surprisingly few AFLCA votes. If Cripps collected stats like that he'd be 30 pts clear in the AFLCA voting!

Indeed, but people will still bag him for disposal efficiency etc. He's played just 29 games (under a season and a half in total).  He's a pup with a s46tload of upside, on an interrupted preseason and very interrupted season. He will be very important in the breakout year of 2020!

Amen!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Agree on Kennedy, thought he looked very good yesterday.  Sure there's improvement to be made, but he got in there and got the ball - a bit fumbly with it but that confidence will come.

Howe got 2 weeks for hitting Cripps and has been referred straight to the Tribunal for the trip on Fisher. Latter is "no early plea, severe impact".

So Howe either took out or reduced the effectiveness of 2 of our 3 best players. Who's their coach again?

This is where Carlton needs to get old fashioned.  Don't say anything (or much). Don't bleat. Just wait ...

But we won't. We're such good AFL citizens. He'll have a "breakout" game for them against us next season.  ::)

I hope there is a little karma with this one. bad enough that Clarkson is a thug, a liar and a hypocrite, but to have this!!??  I really hope that this guy ends up getting what he deserves.

And people went off over Lamb.   Lamb was/is a pest, he doesn't maim players.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Good to see the MRO acting appropriately for a change!

So much for David king saying Howe didn’t mean to him cripps in the face and trying to fob it off - really want someone to hold him accountable when he commentates our next game. D*ck.

Most of the ex-player commentators are as weak as p1ss when it comes reportable incidents and some of the "professional" commentators aren't much better.

Eddie remarked that Casboult contributed to his high contact (by trying to pick the footy up).  The vision clearly shows Henderson looking at Casboult and lining him up.  Henderson is lucky to get away with a fine and Casboult is lucky to escape a very serious injury.

Casboult should be dealing with seagulls like Henderson without a second thought.   One hundred games later and we're still waiting.

Just a bit tough Prof;  Casboult was over the ball and Henderson lined him up.  I'm not sure that Lockett would have dealt with that situation any better than Levi - although it would have been a brave man who chose to inflict pain on Lockett.

What I'm saying is that Casboult should be the kind of player that blokes like Henderson steer clear of,  instead Henderson (who isn't renowned for toughness)  felt he could get away with a cheap shot.   Casboult,  at 100 plus kg should be putting the fear of god into opponents like that,  instead he got lined up. In the AFl you're either the road train or roadkill.... And our lack of physicality has relegated us as the latter.

We have to do something.
I accepted we wouldn’t be finalists this year, but over three years skills have gone backwards, our game plan has been proven time and time again to have gaping flaws but we stick with it, our injured list is huge, and players under perform each week with a lack of intensity.
Injuries don’t account for all of this (ok maybe the being injured bit)
There have to be some coaching changes in the post season.

Have the skills gone backwards or has the execution been poor ?
There is a difference.

from ESPN:

And yet the consensus of this place is that Mitchell gets it a lot, but does nothing with it, and if he does nothing with it why bother tagging ?
Move Ed you say... BB thought Smith was the more damaging of the two and needed to be clamped.
