AFL Rd 19 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

One thing I hate about games in this time slot is that I have to wake up and work in the morning. As a teacher, I need my voice to have recovered, as I always give it a good work out at the footy.

Last two weeks we played crape and lost.
Today we played crape and just won.
North lost it we didn't win it.

Just take the win.
Christ knows we needed it. Injuries a worry. Not sure we can afford to drop another game

Take the 4 points but it was unconvincing and our backline in particular looked unsettled.
Hewett I thought was important and can't be dropped again...TDK fought on well after halftime and Curnow lifted his work rate.Umpiring was garbage and both teams suffered..

Disagree with that - we pulled our finger out and took it on, just got enough in front then eased again. They ran out of legs but we also upped it.

Still they are near bottom
Of the ladder and we’re premiership contenders? Not sure there is that much between us! Bit concerned we don’t look very convincing.

FFS, please rest TDK now. Should've been rested 2 weeks ago.

Anyone else who isn't fit. Rest them!

Kennedy, Acres, whoever.

Challenged with a minimally sufficient response. Take the points and assess the carnage. Won't be easy getting up in 5d against Port.

The younger players showed good signs. Although our team is far from settled so the run home will be demanding.

Sing it loud

Go Blues

Problem is, I’m not sure we can. Those last 2 losses, brisbanes resurgence and easy-ish run home has cost us dearly.
We need top 2.

They certainly just turned up for a jog around the park. Pressure rating hit 240 for a while in the 3rd qtr then it was through the motions. The good old slump top sides have.

Those 2nd qtrs. Last 3 weeks we have conceded 7, 7 and 6 goals.

Agreed EB, how Hewitt gets dropped for coaches' pets is bewildering and has cost games.

Didn't the likes of Durdin, Cunners and Fantasia contribute so much today. Get real MC.

There will be more losses if we keep playing too many injured players.

Just listening to Marc Murphy on ABC. He said in his opinion one of our issues is that we get opened up through the middle, and that Hewett needs to play as a defensive mid. He seems to think our other mids either struggle with defense or are not defensively minded. Also spoke about our back 6, and said the reason why Kemp gets dropped is because of errors and brain fades in his game. He said that 90% of his game is good, but the 10% that isn't good is costly.

But yes, looks banged up.

They’re AFL footballers, not children - they’re used to playing through injuries.

But yes, it’s a delicate balance.

I’d be keen to give him a rest vs WCE. Along with Walsh

Hard to rest players with so many passengers
