Uninspiring game with lots of uninspiring performances.

Lewis Young, at least, looks as though he knows what he is doing.

What an ordinary quarter!
Half time:
Carlton 3 - 7 - 25
Drug Cheats 5 - 3 - 33

Ben C has 16 possessions and 7 clearances, Darcy Hogg has 14, Billy Wilson has 12.

Pitto now had 11 possessions, 10 that quarter, although the Essendon rucks got more taps.
We're ahead everywhere except on the scoreboard. It does sound familiar. :(  :(
Binns had 7 possessions in the 1st quarter, 2 in that one.
Hayes now has 8, but is still very quiet compared to normal. :(

A lot of Drug Cheats have had very little ball, but they kick straight and we don't.
Live Long and Prosper!

This has turned into an awful scrap.
Not a lot to get excited about at all....

@RiverRat‍ You can understand why I don't give much credit to players for VFL performances, it's a bit sad what VFL has become, which is why I go and watch the VAFA now instead.

What's more, the media would be better off broadcasting some VAFA games, it would cost them a fraction of what they pay now and it would be a better spectacle.

Young had 8 possessions in the first 16 minutes and has had 2 since. Still, that is a lot better than a number of others I could name.

Flynn Young has 8 possessions, but no score as yet.
Rob Monahan has 5 possessions and 2 points.

Flynn Young is very lightly built and given its a stoppage game its not his style of game and he has been pushed aside fairly easily.
Plus playing with our VFL team would be a lot different to playing with the well drilled Werribee outfit and you can see he is a stylish finisher but there hasnt been a lot of opportunity for him to get on his own and display his skills.
Darcy Hogg has been a good player and Ben Campo has got a bit of ball but hasnt been able to do much with it thanks to the conditions. Bomber Fullback Hoare is a player I would look at if I wanted a KP defender, takes a good mark and is reliable by foot.
Philips has done ok down back for us and has had his hands full with McMahon and new kid May but has held up well.
Lewis Young is displaying why he isnt in the seniors with some low intensity contesting and while he picked up some easy kicks early he plays like he doesnt want to get hurt.
We have a lot of listed players in this game who I would be moving on at seasons end who are just not good enough.

Too many have a marking time disinterested look about them.

For me that is a sign of blokes playing footy for the money and not because they love the game, we probably deserve to have them because they fit right in with the old Carlton mindset. Send a hat around the boundary line for them and I bet they lift! ;)

:(  I really hope our guys can lift; it isn't that we're not finding the ball.

Is Luke Nelson injured? He's had only 1 possession, which is unlike him.

The Drug Cheats have 7 of 9 lowest possession getters on the ground.

Id be playing him in the seniors next week, got away from his man for a nice goal and looks the part when the game is flowing and he can get some space.

Out to a 2 goal lead: we've kicked 3 this quarter!
Really dominating the stats, but can we actually kick enough goals?
