Game Day RND 21 - 🏈 Carlton v Saints Game Day 🏈

[Ald Gardiner]

The scoreboard flatters them it really does.

Just have to tidy up decision making in 2nd half.

With our outs and this being their GF I knew they would look the “winners” at some point, but our lads gutsed it out well in the latter half of that qtr.

The lack of a 3rd marking option up fwd really hurting us today

 

[klompy]

Too many injuries and outs.

Dow - next. Everyone who has been obsessed with him can be quiet. We’ve seen him play his preferred position and he isn’t the answer.

Marchbank - delist.

Docherty - will be crucial if we turn this around.

Need to keep our heads into 50. Always 3 people hanging off Curnow which means there will be a player free.

Fisher playing well which is nice.

Agree. Injuries are really costing us. Our bottom 5 or 6 now are really being exploited. Its not always Dow's fault, but everytime he gets the ball there seems to be a turnover. Marchbank looks lost. We need our best team on the park

 

[Accidental genius]

we're bombing into forward again and we only have charlie but he is always out numbered. need more composure and try and seek out leads

too much panic going on

 

[Opium]

Put Doc behind the ball. Even up numbers on our forward line. Ross is outcoaching Voss once again.

I was going to like your post till I saw the last line.
Would rather Binns than fisher.

StKilda are the biggest s**tstain of a club I have ever seen and they are going to be 5th tonight. only because we are missing too many, we would smack them a new one even with 2-3 of Walsh, Cerra, McKay, McGovern, Kennedy back.

 

[TheKing101]

Pitto and tdk both can’t take a mark. Charlie must be shaking his head. Got 2 or 3 on him every contest because they aren’t worried about our rucks..

Our bogey side. They come with the fire. And we haven’t. Thus the score.

This one is over. Unless something miraculous happens.

Marchbank and his fumbling ...

Wonder whether Sam Durdin should’ve come in for Gov, not the same type of player but a better 3rd key defender than Marchbank imo.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Yes Marchy is talented but he is miles off it as an AFL footballer at the moment. Cost us multiple times in a high pressure game.

 

[Worm4]

If anyone blames Dow for that...

He handballs to fisher who was on his wrong side to start with. Blame fisher more , but don't handball to a shit position to begin with

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

At the end of the day. We have 5 players missing from the best 22

McKay, Walsh, Cerra, Boyd and McGovern aint nothing to bulk at.

Those are all integral to the structur

Waaa waaa excuses excuses. just like when we lost 8 from 9. Until they prove us wrong the evidence is clear.

Today is the day to take a stand. It's all bullshit otherwise

 

[jj1978]

Need to make up at least 2 goals by 3/4 time. At present doesn’t seem likely as Ross will grind us down.

Could add Williams, Kennedy and Silvagni to that. But it doesnt matter. Finals are on the line here and we won't get a participation trophy because we had players missing.

At least don't go down like this - 3 goals in a half, beaten in the contest and inispid errors ruining 6 weeks of hard work

 

[thefrog]

God I hate St Kilda

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Fogarty 1 backwards handball for the half

Pittonet 1 backwards handball for the half

Motlop 1 kick, 1 handball

Saad 4 disposals

 

[gbatman]

Looks like we have too many players out. Saints just kicking better and applying too much pressure for our skill level to handle.

Saints flooding heavily and that is working. Need that extra tall forward or two. Bring in McKay and Silvagni and I just feel we would doing a lot better.

We will see if we have a comeback in us but I get the feeling that the enormous effort we have had to do to get back into finals contention has burnt us out.

 

[Garters]

A couple of free kicks to us late in the quarter to bring the tally up. At one point we were at -7 in the free kick count.

A lot to be said for playing in front and being first to the ball. If we started putting our head over it rather than corralling or being 2nd to the contest the free kick count will take care of itself.

Fisher playing well which is nice.

he doesn't need to be "the" answer.

he can play a role.

this game there are a lot of poor performaning players....a lot from more highly paid players

So would I but fisher is playing a surprisingly good game.

 

[The Toad]

We’ll be right. That’s their best. They’re playing OUR GAME. We will be at our best in the second half.

 

[Jimmae]

Is Dow a jinx.. he’s done some good passes and who he passes to fumbles

Hand-eye coordination falls away as intensity and adrenaline levels surge.

Jittery hands come to the fore. Over-exertion, pure and simple.

 

[AB_Blue]

Extremely disappointed with that. I feared we were a midfielder short and a forward target short. Charlie being double and triple teamed so bombing it to him is not working.

Saints guarding corridor very well…we need to grind our way into this game and it’s going to take something special to get this done
