I thought Newman and OH both had their best games for the club, I thought Binns and Lord were OK too but coming from a low base so it's nothing to talk about just yet.

Pitto was OK but early Marshall exposed some of his flaws against more agile types, but early on the umpiring was also a mystery bag. Later when things became more physical Pitto used his strength to claw back the advantage.

Was nice to see Moir slot a goal on the run with the wrong side of his body, watching that you would hardly know he is a right footer.

I've watched the replay twice now, and we must either hate Kennedy or he was told he had to be Billy Brownless for a day, because he was at least 5m clear on the lead right up the guts inside F50 more than once and we burnt him for Kemp in the pocket.

He is injured.

He could barely get up a jog at one point.

Plays his role perfectly and thats to make space and take an opponent with him.

He can still kick it, and opponents were basically leaving him unattended, we kicked to at best a 50/50 contest instead.

We only had to use Kennedy once or twice and it's a one or two goal swing, and the opposition then have doubt about who to head for, leaving Kemp in a one on one instead of two on one. It's robotic, predictable, dumb football not to use the player who is open.

We did what Freo did, we should have been doing what Port do (Butters and JHF).

Can he?

Its a leg injury, i think its ankle from the Hawthorn game, but he may be carrying more than that.

I've got no problem with Kennedy, or our blokes trying to use Kemp. He was brilliant last week and although he couldn't reach the same height, his aerial work is worth giving him a go.

When in doubt, take the deeper option.

It's tactical.  You play a small forwardline means you kick to the 3 on one contest and back your man in to bring it to ground where our smalls can go to work.

At one stage I was thinking Kemp needed help and thought it might be worth swinging young forward.

That's one of the issues of the criticism of Kemp this game.
Ideally he is the third tall forward not the key tall forward.
We won't get a good handle on his value forward until Curnow and McKay are back taking key defenders.
(problem is that when that happens he'll probably be sent back)

I understand some of the Young criticisms but at least he’s fit to play week in week out .
McGovern a better player but if I read about hamstring awareness after every game then missing a week or two I’ll go nuts!
 Or Marchbank being a week or two away 🙄
Young and kemp are who we have not perfect but out there

I watched Moir closely in the pre-game warm up - he uses whichever foot suits where he is on the ground.  In his practice shots at goal, when he was left of centre, he kicked with his right foot, when he was right of centre (like his shot in the last quarter), he kicked with his left foot.    Seriously could not tell which was his preferred foot.

This guy is a real smokey, can't wait to see him after he has another pre-season under his belt.  
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Yep, remember that video around the time of his drafting? Seriously talented. I have not seen a kick like him at Carlton.

Heath Scotland was superb, indistinguishable on left or right.

Whilst I don’t believe Scotland’s kicking was that bad, I too remember the commentary in here, there were plenty who shared your opinion.
To see someone waxing so lyrical though… 🙄
Let’s go BIG !

Yes, i was probably one that had a distaste for his style of entry.

Kick long 50m on either foot, absolutely.

Just don't bother leading for it because the whole opposition would be able to get back and help out by the time it landed.

Fev was asked about who he liked delivering the ball to him, Murphy, Scotland etc He answered with Hoops (aka Houlihan)
Now there was a kick of the ball!

It was a good trick but he overdid it, with the inevitable 40 metres up and 40 long chip kick on his left you can say he telegraphed it a bit.  I'd hate to be the bloke up the ground waiting for it to come down.
