CC needs a rest, Armfield tried very hard but is out of form. Casboult had the worst 3rd qtr imaginable, damn awful, but still took 8-9 marks as the first half and last qtr were decent (still mixed with a few crappy errors), and anyway we have no back up ruckmen. Need a 2nd key forward though badly to back up Weitering.
Re: 2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne - ElwoodBlues1 - 04-02-2017
Casboult was woeful...a lampost would be more useful...
Armfield...gone
Charlie Curnow...been drinking his own bathwater, needs some tough love in the twos...
Docherty....error ridden, lack of awareness at times mixed with some good stuff..
MacReadie reminds me of Darren Milburn.....going ok
Marchbank...good but with some turnovers by foot..
White...gone
Rowe did the job on Hogan but marking a footy to him is akin to catching a RPG...
Simpson ok...but last season..
Smedts...reliable to a point but needs to do more..
Pickett...like him but needs to do more when he is on..
SPS...learning the game and will be in and out of play
Weitering....learning about playing forward, not his fault delivery is so poor.
Wright.. very effective footballer
Plowman, good all day apart from one poor tackle attempt.
Murphy and Gibbs...ok at times and also turned the footy over badly especially Murphy,,
Kruezer...battled well vs the bigger Gawn.
Ed Curnow..beat Lewis but his disposal is so poor its a 50/50 call on his effectiveness overall IMO..
SOSOS...poor IMO, looked slow and is kicking like Casboult...still young so I shouldnt expect too much but he needs to work harder for his kicks..
Cripps...gun all day, played his best game for a while and easy BOG IMO...
Thomas...couple of good things but just went..

Yes think Charlie needs a change, bring in Mackay but not in a key role let him grow into it to much pressure at an early age. Keep some big bodies up forward, maybe even Rowe at times to switch things up. We have a range of tall defenders . Let's use them to switch things up .

I must have watched a different game.
Was impressed with the endeavor and heart today. Melbourne took till 20 mins into the last to put the game in the bag. Many on here predicted this mob will definitely play finals and made a good outfit look poor last week.
I know it's difficult to be positive when you have a loss but we must remember we had SOJ, C Curnow, Marchbank, SPS, mcCredie and Pickett all in today and curnow aside thought the rest were very serviceable. SOJ is the veteran of this list with 10games!!!
Hard to win with 6 players under 10 games.
Add in Weitering, plowman and cripps as more young players yet to notch 50 games and that's a very young team today.
While I'm disappointed with some of the costly errors from senior players and to lose yet again but I saw enough today to say we are tracking ahead of where I thought we would be.
I'm happy with the kids progress.
A bit of perspective needed folks.

One goal between Casboult, Charlie Curnow,, Silvagni and Weitering and it was always going to be tough but in fairness to them the last kick in was woeful all day.
Until our field kicking improves we won't trouble any good sides.
The back 6 looks too top heavy to me, no one at the fall of the ball all day and either White or Macredie seem surplus to requirements.
I liked Smedts today, Cripps was much better, Murphy and Gibbs both gave it all they had and Docherty was very good.
It was better than last week, much better, sustained effort and they played for each other, but boy are our general skills shabby.

Agree with those outs.
I am an armfield fan, but 2 weeks in a row...
I thought Smeds had a shocker too, but he was good last week.
I thought McCreadie went well today.
Docherty wasnt up to his usual standard.
Pickett looks a good pick up. Fast!
Our backline is frustrating... Individually they seem to do a really good job, but we seem really leaky. I think the midfield need to take some of the flak for that with a lack of pressure on the opposition sending the ball forward. It was telling that our defensive pressure was the reason we got back into the game, and it was the lack thereof that took it away from us.
Gibbs was really off today. Murphy had patches of good play, then multiple brain fades.
Cripps was back on his game today. Not back to his best, but a big improvement on last week.
Curnow kept Lewis quiet, but had a couple of errors that hurt.
I thought Weitering was quiet today. He also seemed a little slower than usual, maybe that corky was still giving him grief.

If you're a budding key forward you wouldn't be volunteering to wanting to play seniors right now...lol.

For all of the criticism I make, I did quite enjoy our effort as a whole today.
The fact we were well in the game so late was great. Our endeavour (from most of the team) was much better and a credit to the boys.
Re: 2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne - laj - 04-02-2017
Loved the endeavour but gee we could've won that. Just better disposal and decision-making that would've been enough. We were in front, dominated the start of the last qtr but prompted rooted everything we touched giving Melbourne their chance.
Re: 2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne - shawny - 04-02-2017
While not many will give him credit thought Rowe was terrific today.
Beat 2 flogs in 2 consecutive weeks.
