The 'pretty clear' area where Carlton has to improve in according to Nic Newman

Nic Newman says it’s pretty clear where Carlton has to improve if they are to recapture their form from earlier in the season. The Blues remain in second spot on the ladder, but have now dropped consecutive games as the business end of the home and away season approaches. Click PLAY to hear Nic...

No shortcuts: New Blue Lord impressing all comers in VFL

Cooper Lord has seized every moment in his opening weeks as a Blue.

www.carltonfc.com.au

• Lord’s last month has seen him average over 22 disposals as well as six tackles per game, while also registering just shy of four clearances
• Is super eager and highly coachable
• Has an 18 month contract
• Balances contested work with ability to spread
• A “competitor” who’s “always after the ball and man"

Mike Fitzpatrick was excellent on the Front Bar. Dry humour, plenty of Rhodes scholar humour. Clearly loves the blues and despite what Sam Pang thinks, not of Chinese heritage.

Fitzy does have a touch of the 'Dick Smiths' about him.

Have opposition clubs worked out how to manipulate Cincotta matchups?

He has been undertaking some key tagging jobs of late.

Hoyne believes that opposition teams are wising up to what Michael Voss is scheming with Cincotta and wonders if the Blues need to revisit what’s best.

Absolutely. I love Cincotta, but we cannot be seduced by having an effective tagger. While he is tagging, one less player is operating offensively (first). Our “one wood” is our clearance dominance when “up”. There is a time and place for Cinc, he can also still play medium defender.

There is a time to tag, but we shouldn’t be identifying a tag every week.

That said, I would put him on Shezel this week!

Or, as others have said, play him in the midfield with instructions to hunt the ball and use his speed and toughness, rather than playing a negating role.

I think his best spot is as a defensive forward on a rebounding defender. He's shown he can kick goals while also shutting down his opponent. Every team in the afl has a player that fits that profile, so he should be in the team unless he's in bad form. I would only put him onto a midfielder if someone is getting off the chain.

Lol. That's great. Included everyone.

Looks great - like the way he moves in traffic & looks tidy by foot.

Can’t wait to see how he progresses with a pre-season under his belt

So weird you and others thought that.
I found it incredibly uncomfortable viewing with someone who takes themselves very seriously indeed.
Different strokes eh!

And confirms my 50 year old opinion of that excremental umpire Ian “Look at me-look at me” Robinson.

One of the funniest episodes of the Front Bar. Excellent viewing.

I don’t think the normal Front Bar demographic aligned with Mike Fitzpatrick’s sense of humour - but there were some very subtle and funny jabs where required here and there.

 

[Neese]

I thought it was great. Love a dry sense of humour.
