We've played a tremendous first half of football.

Not the first time this year.

However, like VERY early on in the year, we have a tendency to fall off the planet without a moments notice.
Hopefully, we buck that trend.

We've got a lot of young blokes, in, they will likely fade a bit especially in heavy weather, if they don't then good for them!

While I don't know how this game will pan out, and I might be wrong, but I suspect this 1st half shows yet another game that has our team functioning better when we have one of our Mids out.

A lot of fans want more Mids, more rotations, yet today our team balance looks better!

I suspect one of the reasons why it's better is that nobody is sitting back waiting for one someone to clear the footy, there are less options so there is less hesitation. They aren't looking at each other wondering who's turn it is to crack in, they just have to go every time and as a result we look better.
Our side near always functions better with half a side or more missing. Just the coach never worked that out.

Carlton Rooms, players eating like there is no tomorrow and their last ever meal. Freo rooms, a few fluids and that's its.
Any wonder our third qtrs are crap, they have what's called fiacca in Italian (pronounced fi-ukka and translates to sluggish or no energy). We call it food coma.

2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership
2026-Slow start, we can kick after all, why not?

"George Hewett had an incredible first half, having seven clearances, 12 contested possessions, 12 uncontested possessions and 25 disposals, his most ever in a first half."

Hewetts stats are very good for someone who plays a full game.
He's done it in a half.

This is the style of football similar to what we played in that run in 2023.
Pressure at the contest, multiple players in the tackles, repeat efforts.
It's basically our 'brand'
And it's competitive against any side.

The problem we've had is in recent times is that it's not been sustainable.
It's high intensity and it can be exhausting.
Good for a quarter, Good for a half.

It will take a huge effort to take this into the second half and maintain it.
There is a reason Freo are where they are on the ladder.
Let's see whether our side are up to it, but kudos for reminding us what it can be like when we bring the pressure and effort.

We didn't hurt them enough, but we are in front. Not many would have given us that!

Possessions:
Hewett: 12 possessions, 4 clearances
de Koning: 8 possessions, 3 clearances
Cripps: 8 possessions, 3 clearances

We've had more of the ball, even though neither Weitering nor Lewis Young have touched it yet!
Inside 50: 18 to 9!
Tackles inside 50: 5 to 0!

Actually, Weitering and Young both made some effective spoils so, no possessions but a couple of touches each 🙂

Melbourne and Fremantle are our b!tches.
We seem to match up well against them and are more likely to get a win against them.

The other 15 teams, less so.
