Game Day Rnd 13 🏈 Carlton v Essendon Game Day🏈

[Opium]

That saad deliberate was pathetic…still hold the option umpires need to have played the game at some stage in their lives…anyone that’s played a game of footy understands what gaining territory is

This. He could've easily just fumbled that over the line instead of gaining 30 metres and moving the ball forward. Amateurs

 

[CupperTea]

Half time come at a good time for us, they were starting to get on top around the ball (albeit with a couple of the worst non free kicks called you will ever see in the ruck, goldy just ran 3m past the ball and blocked TDK and let the ball bounce- almost like the ump didn’t know the rule).

Bit scrappy and at times are bringing some of it on themselves, but jeez the backline standing up well.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Yep. We are really working on our scoring profile. Similar to last week, then in the last quarter we smashed them in scores from stoppage.

That will happen at some stage again tonight I'm sure... we will start scoring from clearance.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Very solid effort, we were a little lucky they did not have their kicking boots on early game.

E Hollands has been an amazing pick up for the blues, the combination of midfield inside/outside and the ability to play forward is great.

 

[jj1978]

its a different game now with the new HTB rules - players are hesitant to pick it up - seeing a lot more tapping to advantage

also getting rid of it a lot quicker just in case they get caught - its a hot potato

Especially tonight where it's as slippery as an oiled up pr0n star and you get pinged even without total control (well we are).

 

[Just Kreuzing]

What’s Cincotta’s nickname??

Like him.

Not Chiancotta like that ****wit Burgoyne keeps calling him…..

It's not even gaining territory. The rule is 'insufficient intent'. Saad literally sprinted and desperation kicked the ball in an attempt to keep it in. Even if that act does see it go out.... The intent is to keep it in. Cheating interpretation

 

[Opium]

Our tackle intensity needs to lift. Big third qtr where we can bury them.

 

[jj1978]

Hewett, Elijah playing their best games of the year. Acres off. Just need an exploding 3rd quarter by Cripps, Walsh, Harry and Curnow to bury it by the 4th quarter.

That saad deliberate was pathetic…still hold the option umpires need to have played the game at some stage in their lives…anyone that’s played a game of footy understands what gaining territory is

Absolutely. Saad doing everything he could to actually keep the ball in play - absolute rubbish decision.

 

[F_therest]

Let's be clear: they had us on toast late in that term. That they got none of it on the scoreboard is almost entirely due to their inefficiency inside front half.

We need to calm the **** down. Gov, rush the ball instead of handpassing to an off balance Weitering. Get the ball into Newman and Boyd's hands. Saad, it was bloody clever but you get the ball out of bounds rather than risk the deliberate free. We're getting seduced into playing the game their way, going fast because they're trying to go fast.

Make the turnovers hurt more, because frankly we let them off the hook multiple times going forward there.

Pretty ridiculous that we've only had 17 inside 50s...shockingly low. Need to improve in that area.

Although part of the reason for that is our great efficiency, leading to less repeat i50s because we are actually scoring.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Jugular time now.
Come out and snuff the game out of reach.
Feel like the mids could lift a notch as well.
Going well so far, just gotta keep it up

 

[Skull Face]

So far so good, now if you wouldn't mind putting them to bed in the 3rd that would be lovely thanks

 

[JuddgementDay]

I just love how we are playing atm - players know the game plans & their roles - yes, multiple

 

[AceAndy]

Really important for us to kick the first two goals of the third. Lead would be over40 points and i suspect they will fold pretty quickly. Go Blues !!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Absolutely. Saad doing everything he could to actually keep the ball in play - absolute rubbish decision.

Correct we would have been better off if he picked it up and kicked it 60 metres into the crowd so we could flood D50, the game is ****ed !!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Cincotta doing a great job, Merrett having little impact

Elijah just keeps building, think he will have a better 2nd half. Hewett is controlling the middle

Don't underestimate the role Williams is playing, spreading that forward line

TDK has been huge, more important moments

Backline has been brilliant, but being helped by mids and HFs filling space

I hope we stick to this tempo until * show something different

Yeah, Hewett is having a great game. Sure hands, and cleaning up the fumbles of others.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Did Cinc get off the tag role that qtr? Merrett with 14 to half time with 0 to almost qtr time (not that it did much for them)… needs to be silenced for another hour

The were mostly scrubby little nothing touches. They probably excited Jobe but fooled nobody else.

 

[Skull Face]

Jugular time now.
Come out and snuff the game out of reach.

Feels like we have a gear in the pocket at the minute but won't ask for it if we keep extending by a couple of goals a term and win by 60

 

[athensblue]

Miss that golf course, looks in good nick

 

[Christou2Kouta]

6 inside 50s for 5 goals that quarter. Never thought I would live to see the day.

Scott is a clever coach, he will mix it up, we need to stay true to our plan and not jump at shadows

 

[NavySteel]

I liked that when they kicked a goal we had a reply. Same as last week and week before. That’s growth in my eyes

 

[thebluenewdeal]

Not liking the way we looked at the end of the half there. Need to be on the front foot and defend in our front half or they will eventually get the scoreboard ticking

 

[Benaly28]

They will come it’s only natural let’s see how we deal with it.
