Polson plays his best game for the Blues
Silvagni took a nice mark
Harry continues to impress but lacks good service....
That's about it for the positives
Byrne's second half was outstanding.

For the love of God hire a decent field kicking coach! We can't allow errors and turnovers by foot to be the norm, particularly for young guys like O'Brien and Samo. Also penetration on the kick must be taught - not just the ability to hit targets.
O'Brien strikes me as a kid who took risks in under 18 comp and they weren't good enough to hurt him if he missed. Being exposed currently.
Both Samo and Polson can't kick goals from 40 - 45. Was never a problem for Ashman, Buckley, Sheldon etc...

Havent been a fan of Polson but he did get his two goals tonight and while he isnt a long kick I would prefer him being straight kick which he was tonight...
Obrien leans back on a lot of kicks and sprays them or kicks them short...not sure what to make of him to be honest...

I hope he comes good but he is very loose as a defender and about as physical as our skipper

It's his first year and he still looks a bit uncomfortable against big bodied men in my opinion, but he shows enough ability to be confident about his future.
Polson might make it, I doubt that Silvagni will.

Obrien got a bit of ball but I think he had Atkins who chopped us up with three goals, he definitely does need to
work on his defensive game.
Both Murphy and Simpson were under whelming in their physicality tonight....and Murphys kicking was terrible...

Yes, like O'brien we saw De Koning tonight against the Crows who are a big bodied team, our kids need time whether they are mids or talls!

I think they can both have a role, I just doubt SoJ will ever be fairly appraised!
Long term I see SoJ as a natural replacement for the Daisy type role!

Thomas gets lots more of the ball, is quicker and has better skills, even though he's past his best he's still a much better footballer than Jack.
I hope he makes it but it's his third year now and he's fully fit, it's not looking good.
Re: 2018 Rd 23: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Adelaide - ElwoodBlues1 - 08-25-2018
You bring McGovern and Fasalo in and thats Jack done down forward......our midfield is already slow...IMO Jack needs to make it as a half back or he will be struggling for a game and spend a lot of time in the NB's as that reserve type utility without a permanent role...
12 possies tonight and one tackle....playing down back tonight he would have had a fair opportunity to lay a few tackles, he either needs to work harder or get to more contests by getting quicker...needs a big pre season of sprint work.

Not ahead of Byrne, Williamson or Docherty.
