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

[Nathan Barley]

We've had 1 less inside 50

 

[NotQuiteJezza]

Willmot- invisible
Sharpe- in over his head
McLuggage- never seen someone go from so good to droppable.
Rayner- quiet again
Too many passengers.

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.

McKenna is excellent with ball in hand. I just get the sense he has a lot more to give if we work out where to use him.

Kiddy's just making poor decisions that were never part of his game but he's trying his heart out.

I'd love a marking target in the forward line.

 

[Mr Ripper]

I’m home.

Too many passengers yet we're beating a good team away from home?

Agree on 3 of those... I actually thought although not back to his absolute best McCluggage has been good, he is right in the heat of the battle, lots of pressure on.

 

[lionshine]

I can’t stand Jon Ralph

 

[Ceebee]

Dunkley does so many of the little things right

Best on ground so far .

 

[Saucery]

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

True but he needs an open forward line to lead into, can't lead into a traffic jam.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Has the ‘we are in front but will be behind 3 minutes into the quarter feel about it’.

Can't question Clug's effort . His disposal is still hit or miss mostly this season but he's working his butt off.

 

[Saucery]

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

So it's Joe needs to go out.

 

[KissKiss]

I watched Sharp a fair bit on the wing live. He did a lot of running but to be honest it was mostly meaningless. In huge amount of space and constantly lost his man. Other players were constantly having tell him where to go. He really had no idea where to go or what to do.

I dont think he should be out there

McCluggage has been good.

Gunston

 

[Saucery]

Gunston

Na you said we need two rucks, Joe is relief ruck not Gunston. Or you want three rucks?

They're also playing through his wing.

Didn't take them long to work it out.

It is a game where most of the players are going to be done into this quarter so maybe his stamina will help him get into the game.

 

[Nunez]

McCluggage has been good.

The McCluggage has been bad stuff has been dated. Hasn't been at his AA best, but hasn't been bad most of the year. Has been our second best mid tonight.

 

[p4p1]

I can’t help but feel some of the decisions and non decisions from the umpires helped keep Carlton so close until they turned the momentum.
decent game so far.

 

[haystark]

Nearly had a seizure until they called that HTB. Phew...

 

[Nathan Barley]

I don't understand why Rayner goes into the centre bounces just to tag their worst mid

 

[Mooch]

Yet another obvious throw.

 

[scoman]

Rayner into the middle at first bounce

 

[Nunez]

Amazing the umpire in front didn't call it a throw. It shouldn't take the non officiating umpire to call that.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Nearly had a seizure until they called that HTB. Phew...

How did the closest ump with a perfect view not call it
