A Ugle-Hagan goal put GC back in front by a point.

Goal to Farrar on the siren and we lead by 5  at 3/4 time.

Carlton 9-2 -56 to Gold Coast 6-15-51
Accuracy is playing a big part.

Camporeale 20
Hollands 19 are all getting plenty of ball

Boyd also has 20 (kick ins)

Promotions????
Not sure.

I'm a bit disappointed in Riley who has put in some not great efforts at times.
Charleson is a player that works hard but not a standout
Ison has done a couple of good things but probably not enough from him to earn a recall.

Into the last and Hollands is making a claim.

You give them a bit of a knock and they've all lifted in the early part of the last quarter. :D  :D

Charleson is the one I think has more of a future.

Not sure what it is about him, just seems a likely type.

Ison been very creative. 

Camporeale working pretty hard. 

Ollie hollands been busy, but dissapointing.  Not sure whata happened to him.  Been moved around too much at afl level and hasn't found a spot to call his own.

O keefe is a better ruckman than a forward, but isnt particularly good at either.

Boyd's dissapointing.  Not sure what happened to him, but he turns it over a lot.




Tyson Gresham is an interesting player.  Very quick, crumbs and uses it well when he gets it.

O'Keefe would have to be in a bit of trouble in terms of remaining on the list.
I hadn't even noticed him until he was caught with the ball a while back.
2 kicks and 0 goals isn't going to make it

Farrar kicks his third and we're up by 13

Sometimes one is grateful for lousy goal accuracy.

Full time.
Carlton 12-5-77 def Gold Coast 7-17-59

Hollands 28
Ben C 27

Farrar 3 goals (none of our listed players got amongst the goals)

Just wondering...and this may be important
Reidy didn't seem to add to his stats after half time and I don't recall seeing him.
Injured or maybe a late change in the seniors.

....not a lot of time to swing that.

Well we sure did make hard work of that! Did well to escape with an 18pt win.

Going into the game with 3 talls on a wet day seemed odd, but perhaps we're wanting to look at all three. Doesn't look good for HOK.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Yep, GC kicking 2.12 in the middle 2 qtrs kept us in the contest!

There were a few strange aspects with this team.
I'm not sure what we were up to....
But from the named side

Fogarty and Lucas C.... didn't play, despite being named, but they were not on the injury list

Chesser and Moir.... were listed as being out injured, despite not being on the injury list.

I suspect Reidy also didn't play the second half.
I don't remember seeing him and his stats didn't seem to move after half time. Riley's output improved and O'Keefe started to take a few ruck contests.
I originally thought he may have been a late change for the afternoon game....but the time frame didn't make sense. Too close.
He may have been injured or it may have been tactical and we'll go with two rucks against Brisbane.

It is nice to win because we kicked straight for a change. It usually goes the other way.
I will enjoy watching the replay.

Ben Camporeale:  30 possessions, 7 marks, 4 tackles, 6 clearances: not bad stats for the youngster.
Ollie Hollands:  28 possessions, 10 marks, 10 tackles and 2 clearances. 10 tackles is excellent for Ollie.


I hope we are looking at Liam Farrar: he kicked another 3 goals today. At the moment, he is our best hope of a score.
Sam Paea had 17 possessions, but didn't score.
Jack Ison had a quiet day. But he will be back. Just needs to get some confidence up.
For next pre-season I'd like to see him working more with the mids: he can do the job and it would get him into the play a bit more.


To be honest, Gold Coast had so much more talent out there, but still lost. Ugle-Hagan, for example. Witts, who dominated the ruck. But Gold Coast are tracking about as poorly aa side can.
Live Long and Prosper!

I thought Paea spent most of his time in defence today, Crash.
Fair enough. I'll see it when I see the replay. Considering his kicking at goal, that probably wasn't a bad thing.
Live Long and Prosper!
