Game Day Carlton v St Kilda Practice Match Gameday Discussion

[slashin_velvet]

I can’t remember the last time I saw a genuine shoot out. That was genuinely enjoyable. The difference in the end was our skills.

Going from the shortened version to a shootout with a 30 second break between each goal made the first half seem like it went forever.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Positives: Williams, Pittonet, JSOS, Fisher, Walsh third term, Setterfield, Murphy forward, Dow, LOB 11 touches in a half, mcdonald worth a shot?

Negatives: Docherty, Plowman, Cripps no impact, injuries, back 6 letting multiple numbers out the back, Moore missed his shot but was probably behind McDonald to start with.

Harsh on the back six. If targets are hit up the ground there is no rebound. Premiership sides don't give up that much rebound, something we must aspire to.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

PaddyDow not a heap of touches tonight but high numbers of classy possessions, hands and poise were top shelf tonight also his kicking and decision making was really impressive...

 

[FRUMPY]

Tackles inside 50 - 15 to 5 our way. Huge positive.

McDonald has to get our last list spot based on this game.

just changes the way we play.

Fisher is at his absolute best.

JSOS must play every week.

Walsh is a gun.

Murph's new role suits our game nicely.

Setters is awesome.

really good in the time he played. I think the MC sees him outside the 22 but he should be competing with Cunners and Martin for a bench spot.

Gibbons didn't get on the ground again. Reckon he is seen as a walk up start by the coach. Competing with Fogarty for a small mid spot and I thought Fog came into the game but Gibbons offers more at this stage.

Dow looking good again. Has earned himself a round 1 start.

Imagine paying Martin close to a million to be fighting out a spot with O'Brien and Cunningham.

Don't think he is that bad (or bad at all) but needs to stop going missing like he has his whole career

id be happy if plowmen and Curnow never played another game for us. I would much rather give games to Stocker obrien dow than play them two

Feel like Ed was valuable in the fourth when his tank gave him an edge over tiring players, but early on he looked too slow for the helter-skelter game that the stand rule is encouraging.

Will be interesting to see if teams slow things down as they adjust this year, which would improbe Ed's suitability. If it's this quick all the time he might be a bit of a liability.

 

[Mondyboy]

Dow was good around the ground but less at centre bounces.

Aside from mistiming his leap, that’s the best I’ve seen LOB play in two years.

SOS and Dow are locks for round 1.

Pray for Weiters

 

[reubsblues]

Dow's handballing was my highlight. In fact his skills in general were pretty good which is a serious improvement on previous years.

100% agreed some of his handballs to release were awesome

If it's Gibbons vs Fogarty for the last spot thats a no brainer to Gibbo after tonight. Fogarty really anonymous out there

 

[FRUMPY]

Cuningham and O'Brien good impact.

Come on fresh in the 2nd half when alot had burnt petrol tickets though

Reubs just keepin ' a lid on things....

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Martin and Doc vying for Worst on Ground tonight.

Some glaring errors from Doc but still lead our disposals with 27 at 70% efficiency. He was visible bad at times, whereas Martin was invisible bad. Let's not be over the top though when Callum Moore had 4 disposals.

 

[windows1]

I thought LOB looked good in limited time. May give Newnes a run for that wing spot.

Fisher is a weapon.

 

[Robert Heatley]

A statue shows more than Moore.

right now I’m taking McDonald, and I was not impressed by Moore at all last year, but Moore strikes me as a potential Liam Jones story, there looks like there could be a penny to drop at some point. He has some tools, mainly athleticism.

 

[jd2010]

Harsh on the back six. If targets are hit up the ground there is no rebound. Premiership sides don't give up that much rebound, something we must aspire to.

It's not just when it's on a turnover though. It's when there's a ball on the ground we all go to it likes bees to honey and the ball gets flicked around by hand to 2 or 3 spare out the back. It's under 12s footy!

 

[footyfan1978]

Would not waste my time listing Moore or Oscar

 

[Arr0w]

Hard to get a complete gauge given the number of natural forwards we had out.

 

[spry]

99 points without a key forward ain’t bad.

 

[FRUMPY]

It wouldn't take much time listing them....maybe 5 minutes to make sure they're signing the right paperwork.

Imagine adding to the silly $1m narrative that the media nuffies and opposition fans peddle...you know full well it was last year only and his salary drops significantly for the next 4 seasons.

I love how busy Fisher is
It's exciting when he has the ball
He's quickly becoming my fav player

Fish has freakish abilities, one of my favs....

Tongue in cheek but would still be on nice coin to play a qtr or two a game or one game in 3. It's his career so far. Hopefully it changes but last year wasn't much of an improvement.

If everything else clicks for us, he'll be a cult figure in the league

A million was last year to get him across the line in the PSD. Much less than that now. Not particularly relevant anyway.

Must admit, this more open style should suit him.
