Game Day Round 8, 2023 - Carlton vs. Brisbane Lions

[Big Sauce 21]

Our forwards offer nothing for down the line kicks. Just slap at it.

 

[Nunez]

Sharp was a lot better in the second.

 

[The Zork]

Brace yourselves for the commentary to turn this second half.

 

[mattsmob]

Did well not to concede more to finish that quarter, was under the pump and umps doing us no favours. We should be the better team from here on and close this out

Fort > Gunston

 

[Saucery]

Sharp too small, gets brushed aside.

Raynor just makes too many unforced errors.

McLuggage and Bailey shadows of themselves.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Lester…another great quarter!

 

[dlanod]

Silvagni HTB .

Umps were s**t hot on holding the ball earlier and have just given up now.

Nah wait and see when they tackle us what happens... Like Cluggs losing the ball in the tackle - technically he had prior because of the jump, but it's a lot more ambiguous than the shit they're not paying to us

 

[Saucery]

Fort > Gunston

And yet he has 2 goals???

 

[Squizz89]

Feel like we left 2-3 goals out there that quarter but then we were quite lucky to only concede one there at the end. Big quarter coming up. It’s clear we won’t be getting any favours from the umpires so the pressure will have to remain high.

 

[Pns_blister]

We are getting murdered in the air. Hard watching. Obligatory dump on the umps too. Some horrificly inconsistent calls

Clugs has been good.

Geez, revealing stat on Fox. We’ve had 17 rebound chains from defence but only 1 ended up inside 50.

Surely we improve our ball movement in the second half.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Another half where Wilmot has hardly touched it. 3 disposals in a half is not good enough.

 

[Saucery]

Clugs has been good.

He used to be great.

 

[martinson]

Bit of a physical contest that quarter.

One team will break.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Soft goals. He needs to be a marking target who converts.

 

[Dalions]

Glad that we halted their scoring in that quarter

 

[Big Sauce 21]

We need 2 rucks because our forwards cannot take that relief mark down the line

 

[Squizz89]

Geez, revealing stat on Fox. We’ve had 17 rebound chains from defence but only 1 ended up inside 50.

The Rich/Zorko effect I guess. Kiddy has also been down on form and McKenna has hardly been sighted tonight so shouldn’t be entirely surprised. Would be nice to get both those guys into it in the second half.

Another half where Wilmot has hardly touched it. 3 disposals in a half is not good enough.

Likewise Lester with only 5.

 

[M Malice]

We are looking the better side, just got to take advantage, confident we can go on with it.

Payne, Starcevich, Andrews, McCluggage, Neale, Dunkley, Berry, McInerney, Daniher have been good.

Sharp has tried his heart out but is not quite up to the pace of the game which is totally understandable IMO, I'd give it 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter and maybe sub him off for Lyons.... might even be an option to sub Ashcroft off, he has been way down tonight, might be tired after a big couple of months.

Rayner been down, get the ball in McKenna and Coleman's hands a bit more.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Dunkley has well and truly beaten Cripps tonight

 

[JasRulz63]

I don't think Sharp is playing that badly. He's still quite a small frame so he gets brushed off it easily, but he's at least getting from contest to contest well and making himself a nuisance. His work rate stats are quite good - he's leading our average speed in attack, and second for average speed in defense, so he's doing his job working up and down the wing.

 

[lionshine]

Dunkley with 16 disposals and 7 tackles. Monster half
