Autopsy Rd 3 Blues beat Giants - We're not putting that one in a time capsule

[BlueTongue]

Desperate to get Walsh back after that showing and gee wasn't Kennedy missed.

It was nearly "no Kennedy, no Carlton" today

Definitely does a lot of grunt work. And is VERY good at getting it out to advantage.

If Pittonet plays 15-18 games, Cripps will win the Brownlow again. First class service.

What’s going on with Harry - in a rut

He seemed really hesitant today,like he wasnt wanting to get injured. He'll bounce back next week.
Ugly win but a W is a W.

 

[BigBreakfast]

I have to say, love the win but, that dissent call to decide a game? I hope there was actual, significant dissent, not a precious umpire deciding a game. If it was the other way around, we would be in an uproar!

 

[Beyond Blue]

We sure are determined to get as much practice as possible at closing out close games!

it all evens out in the end I guess.....we've been on the end of some horrid calls too.

Newman on Toby Green today..

I don't want that free kick even if it is a rule at the time. But wasn't it a clear hold by Taylor on McKay? GWS wanted HTB but it wasn't close to that.

that

Cerra gets a lot of it but he and has a great work rate but disposal needs a bit of work.

It sounds like the memo went out to the umpire dept this week - a dissent decision was just made at the MCG (Scum -v- Non-Entities).

Preview - 2023 Rd 3 Carlton vs GWS Saturday April 1 4:35PM (ADST) @ Giants Stadium

Gorgeous George is back :thumbsu: IN: George Hewett OUT: Matthew Kennedy (calf), Lochie O’Brien Kennedy developed soreness in his calf during the week. He will not make the trip to Sydney and at this stage is a chance to return next week...

Good teams win ugly, but so do average teams. The evidence so far points to us maybe being a bit closer to the latter than the former. But, the season is young. Still time for the players and coaches to evaluate where things go wrong, and we've got 2.5 wins under the belt 3 games in.

Need more out of Mckay but what's going on up the field not doing him any favours. But we have much better spread of scoring and our smalls are kicking multiples.

 

[Juddrockz]

Taylor is a gun. Harry will rip North a new one

Im more concerned about Larkey tearing Weiters up. He's kicking plenty atm.

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

That was terrible. Poor usage of the footy and bad kicking is bad football.

LOB and Fisher should be dropped until they start tackling. It takes zero talent and skill to chase and tackle. If they can't get the footy and then randomly turn it over they should be pressuring like men possessed.

We have a long way to go

 

[Neese]

Terrible match
Take the points and run

 

[blueycarlton]

I had 8 of Carlton's behinds were rushed. Wonder what the record is?

 

[thylacine60]

Last season we lose this game. Name the season in the last 15 years and we lose this game.

This is a new Carlton!

oh dear

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Was pretty impressed with that Ash kid from GWS, still not contracted next year for The Giants, might be worth asking the question (definitely worth trading a first round pick for)

 

[carlton_99]

Cerra gets a lot of it but he and has a great work rate but disposal needs a bit of work.

Thought he was one of our best - went at 86% disposal efficiency which is phenomenal.

That kick from Hewitt to Harry in the last. Just a butcher job of the highest order. Cerra far from alone.

Games like this are why the above happened. 10 point win? Should've been 40.

Percentage shouldn't be a problem with a draw.

 

[Juddrockz]

Need both - mids really struggled today. Cripps god-like

Hewett was playing basically one handed. Hopefully Kennedy back next week will help.

 

[Burgers45]

Doc 39 disposals WTF?

Switched to midfield and he excelled.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Im more concerned about Larkey tearing Weiters up. He's kicking plenty atm.

He got a sweet easy
Kicking action that larkey.. although he does look like a nob

 

[morningbrown]

Definition of getting through by the skin of your teeth. Cripps huge.

Gotta win those games by 6 goals if we're serious.

 

[thylacine60]

how the **** did charlie mark that? he went full melksham..........
