Game Day RND 5 - Carlton v Port Game Day Discussion

[Sweet Seventeen]

Walsh- best on.
Cerra-so composed and creative.
McKay- just keeps getting better.
Charlie-going great.
Mosquito fleet- Owies, Fisher and Durdin absolutely awesome.

 

[Ollo]

Owies going at a 1:1 ratio of possessions to tackles

 

[LemmingMaster]

Martins the most talented player in the team.... Please become even mid level for consistency and effort.... Unreal when he's on.

This is why it is often hard to drop him, when he's on, game changer.

 

[forever blue 1]

This is the Carlton I've been waiting for. Be ruthless. Keep it going.

No worries let’s be Rufus

 

[Mr_Plow]

Port have checked out completely. Their list is much better than this. Our benefit, I guess.

 

[V_23]

Good teams hold the fort. Great teams go for the unrelenting kill.

Which are we?

What if going for the throat tires the team for next week, though?

 

[Blue train 28]

I love you Hewett
I love you Walsh
And don’t get me started on you Charlie

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Hewett

 

[Drexl 31]

As I said pre game, this will be our first 70+ point victory in a long while.

 

[RedFury]

Just maintain the lead. I just want a win that doesn't almost get me admitted to the coronary ward! PLEASE Carlton!!

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

A massive win can set up our season. If we fall over the line the doubts will still remain.

Go for the throat baggers.

 

[T2B_]

Owies going at a 1:1 ratio of possessions to tackles

He really seems like Matty Wright reincarnated.

 

[Blueballs38]

Not having a go here as more than happy to be where we are scoreboard wise but it feels more like port’s hopelessness rather than our brilliance. We are playing like a 8-12 side versus the potential wooden spooners who most of them look like passengers today.

Not that you cannot see glimmers. I think our small forward’s pressure has been enormous, For the most part Harry and CC have been good, JSOS is just a legend as is Walsh and Pitt has been bloody good as well.

Things I didn’t like is kicking it into the man on the mark and ball use particularly by foot on occasions.


Hopefully we can use the second half to look at playing with a little more cohesion as there are going to be a lot harder games coming up with opposition who are not trying to get their coach sacked.

 

[Gambelic]

Port have checked out completely. Their list is much better than this. Our benefit, I guess.

Just like us last week, hard to compete when you can't get first use of the ball.

 

[Wickzki]

The development they've put into Parks is going to fly under the radar for a while.

 

[athensblue]

Dow cant even get a chair
Not much love for Paddy

 

[AceAndy]

I imagine AA is quite frustrated. Has two athletic twin towers to worry about a lot of the time with no real support.

Not really , enjoying this immensely.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I have no ill feeling towards Kenny Hinkley whatsoever (who seems like a nice enough guy) but it would be nice that for once, we are the team that gets a coach sacked.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Hinkley looks checked out

He has the look that I often have at work when things are just spiralling out of control and I have no idea what is happening.

 

[Blueballs38]

Pitto murdering them, gee he has been good. Missed him last week. He's a very good ruckman these days.

Not that I have been his strongest advocate but if people do not see his worth they have cataracts

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Interesting comment by King that he thinks fisher is possible AA quality
Hmm

Offensively Fisher could be I guess in a strong carlton. Probably isn't good enough in defensive transition but since when do AA selectors care about that..

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

He has the look that I often have at work when things are just spiralling out of control and I have no idea what is happening.

I know it well

 

[myblueroan]

Autopsy thread started on the Pear board.

Oh dear

Do they promise?

Just maintain the lead. I just want a win that doesn't almost get me admitted to the coronary ward! PLEASE Carlton!!

Looking ok so far...
Tortoise has head a little out of shell right now.

 

[Dramoth]

Bad for me to want a 10+ goal win now? Apparently been like 8 years since we’ve done that.

I'd love to see us put 100+ points on them. Absolutely destroy them. No going to sleep for the rest of the game.

 

[F_therest]

Pitto murdering them, gee he has been good. Missed him last week. He's a very good ruckman these days.

Seen heaps of those taps out the back straight down the throat of a mid plenty of times today, just like the first 3 weeks. Really gets us going and we score from them.

Don't think I saw that play even once last week with TDK in the ruck.
