Game Day RND 4 - Carlton v Gold Coast Game Day Discussion

[Sweet Seventeen]

Really miss McG and durdin

Durdin is proving to be a huge loss. Pitt is a huge loss as well. Now Cripps is gone, if we happen to win this. Then it will be a wonderful victory indeed.

 

[La Dispute]

The idea of TDK is better than the reality of TDK currently.

He’s still a good prospect and has a lot of development to come, but he is lacking in far too many areas and can’t be relied on as a 1st ruck.

Pitto doesn’t enough credit for his nous around the stoppages.

 

[Blues2013]

Second half massive test for our boys esp without Crippa and getting creamed in ruck… will tell us a lot about the trajectory we are on….

 

[gbatman]

I actually though our tackling has been quite good but not getting reward. Gcs having to drop or throw to get clear on the umps blindside

They are still getting the ball out with our tackles, it's not good tackling

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Time for some of our 2nd tier to stand up
Here‘s looking at you
Fisher
Williams
Martin
Fogarty
Setterfield
LOB

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I'd throw Williams on ball for spurts.

Boyd is enough defensive coverage. Shake it up.

 

[SurreyBlue]

It’s difference in experience. Can’t expect TDK to dominate over a mature ruckman… our mids need to be at the drop of Witts tap.

Just not big enough or strong enough to match it with Witts currently. Pitto would have helped but it's ouir midfielders that need to lift.
Cerra and Walsh in particular not doing enough. Martin, Owies and Fisher need to do more off the half forward line. Much more.

 

[WFGodot]

Heavs played some good footy for us at least, 47 goals in 93

Agree, he did play well that year. Overall 92 games 132, 3 clubs hardly a hall of famer. I wish Brent well, just making a point about relatively obscure players catching us out and I chose Brent to illustrate the point. My sincere apology to all members of the Heaver family!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

We are winning many stats. Just stoppages we are getting caned.

We lead tackles 46-20. We trail inside 50 tackles 2-6.

The pressure up forward is just not there.

 

[Blue1980]

He is enjoying covid induced mental conditioning

He was a covid absentee too?

 

[gbatman]

I’m surprised Motlop wasn’t considered this week.

Yes same, we need pace and goal kickers and skill. I admit he's a bit raw but he's good enough imo.

Unpopular Opinion

Levi Casboult is an extremely ungrateful moron. He has played more AFL games than he should have because of how ordinary we were for so long. Other AFL clubs weren't exactly knocking down our door to take him off our hands.

He is no longer part of the Carlton family. He can piss right off.

Agree 100%.

Been a whipping boy of the league for years. Without us he was in the WRFL after a few years.

[WFGodot]

Really wishing Dow had of been sub. Could have been a now or never for him

I wish he was as well but to be fair Boyd hasn’t been the worst out there!

 

[Chism]

We need to contain Witts to be a chance, if that means sharking his taps so be it but we are being dominated in the middle with lots of players down.

 

[mickelboy182]

Melting about Casboult grabbing the jumper after kicking a goal isn't just unpopular, it's downright odd.... Nothing wrong with it in the slightest.

 

[NavySteel]

Who is asking TDK to dominate?

What we hope for is not to get dominated himself, at least halve the contests. But he isn't.

Witts is not a schmuck and far more experienced than TDK. It’s not surprising.

 

[slowhand clape]

Not to alarm anyone but our third qtrs have been poor this year!
I’m confident we can turn it around!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Hmm, very un-Walsh like

 

[WFGodot]

K. Underwood. Yuk. Sorry

 

[NavySteel]

They are still getting the ball out with our tackles, it's not good tackling

By not disposing it correctly

Unpopular opinion? I thought outright dumb. He played decent footy for us, especially from rookie pick 44, we let him go and another club picked him up. So far having a good year. Don't play 160 games unless you can play decent enough football.

He gave us good service, so no, it is not a case that he can piss right off. Maybe your posting can though.

Witts is one of the most under rated rucks in the game. He is a hit out to advantage beast when healthy.

What an awful start to the quarter.
