Game Day Rnd 4 - Carlton v GC Gameday Discussion

[Dadda Dave]

Pretty sure Roos wouldn't be this vocal if a Carlton player was knocked out

And he's still banging on about it the tossa..

Seriously soap - call that for what it is a pathetic half of football all round.
We played well for 15 mins that qtr and that’s all we’ve done and we are in front such is the level of the opposition. Rubbish. Coaching is putrid and players lack confidence, skill level is a joke as is the case most weeks where we lose games due to poor skill and execution.
Your optimism is tiring.

Kennedy should be playing, we should not be playing Fisher in as many centre bounce clearances as we do. We are miles off it and a Monty for the spoon in my view and bolts will go this year mark my words. Talk is cheap.

Did you have this pre-typed? Mate we're in front at the moment, should've unleashed this in the 1st...

 

[SammaGilberto]

Just re-signed for 4 years with them so probably not

Yep and from QLD, very unlikely sadly, such a star.

smh the talk of "setterfields second motion in the tackle" it was one motion. he will cop a week, but lets discuss the incident accurately ffs.
double motion tackles are the classic pause and whip

Watch the replay. Didnt pin left arm. Player chose to hold the footy instead of protecting himself.

 

[FRUMPY]

As pointed out, he had his left arm free.

Unlucky though setters, afl will make an example of you here though dude

It's bullshit, player gets up and nothing is said. Player doesn't get up and all hell breaks loose. Same tackle.

Yet dusty can elbow behind the play and get one week and all the talk is about is him giving the bird

Need to come out with intent in the second half, don't slack off.

 

[gardiner stand]

Much better quarter. Amazing what happens when your forwards actually lead up properly.

Keep it going boys.

100% agree......no point kicking to a bloke standing under the ball....ask Dunstall he did more than a 1000 times....fundamentals don’t change much in footy

 

[norway blue]

Go Carlton . Weitbix , Jones , gov .

Please, someone, anyone, educate me on our strategy and structure for forward 50 entries.

As far as I can see our one and only strategy is to bomb it high and long to a contest of about 8 players. We've been employing this exact same "structure" for about 5 years now with limited success.

It's beyond a joke.

Its not even to the advantage of the forward target. Shit coaching

saddler will go I reckon........

 

[90N90S]

We have the options in the forward half, just need to deliver and get our disposals right.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

C'mon boys play it out till the final siren! I 'm proud of you!

 

[serenityNow]

I recently talked to someone who met him and he's basically did the, don't you know who I am arrogant thing. I hope he doesn't turn into a FIGJAM who can't do the basics.

I had the opportunity to meet both Curnows through a business contact recently....Both came across as very approachable and quite nice to speak with....i left the meet very impressed with both.

 

[FRUMPY]

Probably chose the wrong stat.

9 players with 6 or less.

Haha if I remember right we had 10 with 4 and under last week. We are a very low possesiom side at the momemnt

Zac Fisher was dynamite that quarter.

 

[koutamarto]

Great quarter keep it up

That is based on this match. You complain that posters get into Casboult for kicking into the man on the mark and don't when McGovern does it; ignoring that Casboult also grubbered an attempt at a switch through the middle of the ground (such a dangerous kick), and has kicked poorly throughout. On the other hand, sure McGovern screwed up kicking into the man on the mark but he also dragged us back into the game...

Mcgovern didnt kick into the man on the mark did he? It was a smother in general play? A bit different than a set mark

 

[Stig O'Hara]

How good was that defensive spoil from JW that hit SPS on the chest!!!

I genuinely swooned.

 

[Dadda Dave]

That would have to be our best 2nd quarter in 10 years ..
Back it up now with some snags ..go baggers..

That kick through the centre of the ground, was to a clear target so the decision was sound and we went forward because of it

Have always said that I prefer Leevi to handball more, but if there are no options would you rather him kick it long and then the detractors complain that we have no gameplan and just bomb it long?

He is far from our worst by foot today and atleast he has competed well, at a very minimum the ball has come to ground

 

[rp84]

Are you watching a different game?
Coaching awesome today, soapy nailed it, backs and forwards right on top just need to win the contest in the middle c

For once I agree with SOAP.

This is the first day our gameday coaching panel has shown a pulse in a year.

Very good matchups and defensive game plan.

 

[90N90S]

If we come out wanting to win, we can win this by 4 or 5 goals.

 

[Zuribagger]

Weiters and Walshy .

Will be Carlton hall of famers (bookmark it thread)

Maybe gibbo to the middle, cas more of the ruck and lobbe sit close to goal.

Gov’s footy smarts were on show that qtr.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Our forward entries have looked a hell of a lot better than the Suns forward entries

edit - we're in front with far less inside 50s so clearly the case

 

[bixente]

Aside from Nic Newman who needs a kick up the bum, our defence has been great. They’ve had 31 inside 50s and we’ve repelled most of it.

We struggle forward of the ball because we seem incapable of lowering the eyes.
