I wonder how much of that is coaching and not understanding what his role is?
He probably played his most important game when we played the Dogs and he had a run with role [with Murphy from memory] on Hunter. He did a good disciplined job and Hunter had very limited influence. I can't for the life work out why we didn't get him to follow that good performance up last week with a similar role on O'Meara [or Wingard / Shiels].
I would give him a job this week on either Higgins or Polec. He's not a big possession winner so if he can hold those guys to less than 20 and get 10 himself that is a big win for us imo.

If Higgins and Polec get 20 or less we win by eight goals.

Phillips played a full game last week in the twos. He’s fine.

Was he even that good on hunter?
We really got a hold of them and they weren't able to stop our talls.
Hunter got it 18 instead of his average 28 odd. O brien touched it 7 times.
If we had another player getting 25+ and hunter got his 28 odd, we'd have actually been further ahead on the stats sheet.
Re: Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 7: Carlton vs North Melbourne - Gointocarlton - 05-02-2019
For mine
IN:Liam Stocker (Newman), Charlie Curnow (Gov), Andrew Phillips (Kruze), Tom Williamson (Simmo)
Re: Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 7: Carlton vs North Melbourne - flyboy77 - 05-02-2019
Hard to disagree.
Given Garlett seems to be doing little in the 2s, hard - very hard - to justify his inclusion at LOB's expense....
Re: Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 7: Carlton vs North Melbourne - Jack Burton - 05-02-2019
For mine:
Out: Kreuzer, McGovern, Simpson, Newman
In: Phillips, C Curnow, Garlett, Schumacher
That is based mostly on Williamson and Stocker both not being match fit and ready for AFL
Re: Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 7: Carlton vs North Melbourne - ianh - 05-02-2019
Charlie (auto in), Phillips (we need a genuine ruck even if a battling one), Setterfield (did enough to warrant coming straight back in given no-one knocking down the door in the 2s) and (subject to being sufficiently match fit) Williamson (quality player) for mine. If Willo not considered ready then try Stocker if he is fit enough - if not then Schumacher. No to Garlett - has not done much in the 2s after being putrid in the 1s albeit played out of position, no to Lobbe unless Phillips doesn't come up for some reason.

O’Brien might be the better runner but he lacks match smarts and strength. I’d rather see Kennedy run less but collect 20 possessions working mostly in the packs helping Cripps than O’Brien gathering 10 possessions running all over the park.
