Game Day Carlton v St Kilda Practice Match Gameday Discussion

[LanceRomance]

For a guy that had a stroke, Higgins sure leads with his noggin a lot

 

[Koutamightafides]

only difference is that 22 has form

Lots of it

Who pissed in your cornflakes tonight? Every single post is quoting someone and going against the grain. Maybe just log off for the night?

Bring it I say ... made his bed a while ago.

Depends what game or contest you watched last year. Chooses which game/contest to go hard at

Just not true at any level. But I guess your logic is that if you say it often enough someone might believe you.

 

[Blue Warrior]

Some atrocious umpiring aside, do not think we played well enough over 4 quarters to win the game.

We were our own worst enemy tonight, so many needless and sloppy turnovers.

It definitley won't be the same team going into round 1, not worth worrying or stressing about too much I would have thought.

Definitely not but consistent umpiring would be nice.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Meh, irrelevant now. Seen some heart. Result doesn't matter much.

It feels like we were in a low gear and never got going... and yet we were still in the game.

Confirmed to me how competitive we are gonna be this year - all good.
No serious injuries

Lots to like from Carlton. A bit more match time together as a team and they should start gelling together nicely. It's going to be frustrating in the early part of the season, but once we get going, watch out!

Also, that umpire 22... the guy who usually shafts us when he is umpiring against us. He needs to have a chat with a guy from Romania called Vlad. Said chat would involve shoving a large pointed wooden object into said umpires rectal cavity!

 

[BigBreakfast]

Dangerous tackle you grub!

 

[Blue__Balls]

**** off Higgins.

Much as I hate that it's part of the game now, maybe we need a specialist coach to teach our players how to draw bullshit high contact frees.

 

[Wickzki]

They don't have their best 22. But all their structures are fine.

We lack our best 22 and our structures are ****ed.

In a high scoring match where they had all the umpiring to lose by 4 goals puts us in good stead.

 

[HBF]

Some good things, some bad things and some things to work on before round 1.

 

[gunslingr]

Crippa can't play as a forward with a dedicated defender. He needs to float forward with a midfield opponent.

Lost track of the ball in the air every time

 

[MitchRobinson12]

Cuningham and O'Brien good impact.

 

[TPC05]

Few things to work on, very promising signs.

Na, just having some fun and like laughing at the comments on here and the hypocricy of alot of the comments. Especially the umpires when they don't complain about the dodgy decisions we get

Hate saying it, but Doc is really flat on confidence

Martin and Doc vying for Worst on Ground tonight.

 

[Bluella]

I didn't get to listen to the whole game - how much of the match did Crippa play forward?

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Crippa can't play as a forward with a dedicated defender. He needs to float forward with a midfield opponent.

Exactly, his not overly great in the air and he isn’t quick. He needs a mismatch where he can use his size advantage.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

in his back

But Walsh gets called in the square earlier when he rode him perfectly sideways.

 

[FRUMPY]

He will be more effective when the keys are back. Third or fourth best defender and he is on.

Should kick a goal a game as a fwd if used correctly, add a half goal a game as mid and perfectly used. Won't happen though, coaches are dumb.

Biggest thing to take away from this game is the importance of clean skills. There’s going to be a lot more open, transition play this year and you need to make the most of your opportunities. Great signs for JSOS and this should suit O’Brien down to the ground.

I’d like to see Stocker and Gibbons get a go too.

That should sharpen us up for the real stuff. Nice little hit and giggle.

Looking forward to watching some footy at the MCG.

Lots to like, Fisher was very exciting. Not too worried about the forward line, we where missing most of it. JSOS stood up well in the massive hole that was created. OMac seemed to fade out of the match.

 

[Koutamightafides]

I don't mind losing if the umpires are fair but that was a pathetic effort by them especially number 22 . Other than that I am stoked with that game , Saad and Williams will make a huge difference . Finals for sure this year . Go Blues I'm outties .

There’s Too much love for plowman! The king of fumble and breaking play

Careful, they’ll come for you
