Game Day Rd 17 Carlton v North Melbourne Game Day Discussion

[dc king]

AFL.com.au actually has a highlight on the match center that is titled 'McMillan mows down Betts' (the push in the back)... really AFL?

 

[T2B_]

Gawd, the number 6 female in the Blue..

 

[Jabba73]

North supporters boo everything. Absolutely clueless and muppetty lot of supporters, from what I've seen.

They even boo Norf supporters that are booing. Just sayin'.

 

[Dramoth]

Tempted to do the same, the Norf pole smoking is just....ugh.

I think that the reason there is no real commentator love out there is because most ex-Carlton footballers are too qualified to be idiot commentators. Most of our guys go on to become successful businessmen

 

[Amers]

Out tackling and pressure on the ball carrier has been woeful.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

I am sorry people but Brock McLean hurt us more then he helps us, we need to table him at seasons end and see if someone bites...

#defensiveliability

 

[BlueVision]

Loving how Simmo turned around his bad start to the season, has really taken to his new role very well this season.

 

[SOLAK]

could really use a tom boyd right about now!

 

[Big Sim]

Gibbs has been insipid. Judd avoiding the boos by avoiding the ball. Kreuzer getting killed in the taps. And our tackling is embarrassing. And some of the decision making has been pure slapstick. Jamo's turnover was a ripper.

But...but...but...somehow we are ahead. If we improve we can win. If we dont they will win. Comfortably.

Last year vs us they just couldn't miss. This time it's us, for a change.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Simpson and Henderson are about the only blokes we have that can win a 1 on 1 contest.

If I was the club, I would be taking that to the AFL and saying 'Please explain the push in the back rules using this video please'.

1/2 time, Judd, Gibbs, Garlett 5 disposals, Yarran 2 disposals, Rowe 3 disposals, Bettrs 6 disposals. How the hell are we in front?
They have all got to lift in this 2nd half for us to get over the line?

 

[Amers]

Like B

I'm sorry... how many blatent free kicks are the umpires going to ignore for us.

Like The hands in the back for Betts in the goal square !!

Dunno, I didnt feel like the talls were the problem. The lack of pouncing on it at ground level considering the smalls we have at our disposal and the lack of pressure as the kangas ran it out was concerning for me.

But for sure, we would all love Tom Boyd.

I think that we are missing a big bodied defender more than another tall forward. Jammo is getting manhandled most of the time by Petrie.

True - plenty of room to improve

Not even close.

Delivery forward has been bogshite.

He ain't gunna change it.

Yep, it always seemed our guys were flat footed or invisible at the fall of the ball. The fact we're in front is all bonus.

To be fair on Rowe he has competed against 2 or 3 opponents all night and has actually paved a path for a couple of goals with his efforts.

Betts would have 9 or 10 disposals if he stopped missing his boot and being pushed in the back....

Oh crap, Dram has a TARDIS?

 

[Richard Mellett]

I think the game has gone past Jamo a bit he just looks awkward these days. Yarran is playing for his career at the Blues and I don't think he really cares. Who could we jag out of the dockers or eagles for him? And I reckon a Straight swap for Dangerfield and Gibbs I reckon lol.

 

[Blue Warrior]

Need more grunt around the ball! Yarran to Thomas and run run run every time he gets it Thomas will not keep up. Judd fwd,Walker fwd, Touhy on the ball for a few big smacks to Swallow/Ziebell etc C'mon Blue boys!!!

 

[Coona Blues]

FFS everyone...so much negativity
Yeah there are some things we need to improve on.
WE ARE IN FRONT against the FADE OUT KINGS

 

[Vin Catoggio]

Not even close.

Delivery forward has been bogshite.

He ain't gunna change it.

I also endorse the use of 'bogshite'

Now put it all together...

 

[Dramoth]

whoops

I'll just duck back and tell Big Jack to hide the books better
