So good! Be great to see Tobe, Giro and Dixon running around together.
I've certainly developed soft spots for clubs who have gone extra long periods of time without success...Bulldogs, Melbourne, heck even St Kilda come to mind, but **** Carlton.
Genuinely interested in how you stop Cripps then with no Fyfe ?
You can’t. Have you watched him recently? You can’t stop him, you can try and stop him getting goal side clearances but he can’t be stopped right now.
Don’t agree
We are in agreement. You can body him up so he can’t run goal side from the clearance but he can’t be stopped using a pure tag so it would be silly to try. Especially two guys who have never done the job in their life.
Carlton's main strength was going hard at the contest and winning the contested ball. Dogs were always second to it. If you halve the contest and turn it into a scrap they lose that advantage.
Which means you shouldn't be trying to tag. Personally I think the game has gone well past the hard midfield tag, as you said, win the hardball yourself and back your mids in.
Our defensive side is average. Lucky that is a strength for Ras and Johno.
I don’t think it’s too bad. Bray and Serong have a decent defensive edge to them. It could be better but ultimately you will win more games than not if you get hands on it first.
Logue would be awesome at it
