I keep thinking about David Parkin's statement about playing more than 2 first year players in the side in the same game. I reckon he's spot on.

As I said after last weeks game . . . . . Weiters and Jack should be either rested or dropped.

[img][/img]Gee I can't stand north. Every club has their share but their supporters are over represented in the toothless moron category.
Anyhoo, back to the game. Gibbs played out of his skin, and an outstanding game from kreuzer, Cripps, docherty. We had a few passengers which made the difference in the end. While some suggest weitering needs a break I think he needs to keep playing to put him on the path to the player he can be. He wasn't our worse at all. A bye for all next week will freshen a fee up.
Giving a team a 6 goal start is going to make life difficult for anyone. But we are battling to kick goals so it was quite a mountain to climb. We kicked our highest score for the season and the midfield kicked goals which was good to see
Good creative coaching too, going a 2 man forward line that got us back in the game.
Good signs. Just need to work on the consistency. That's what 2017 is all about.

Likewise. We just looked unbalanced.
The danger is we become satisfied with 'honourable losses. Our first qtr was absolutely pathetic. Weak as water. No leadership. And that just shouldn't happen. In the end it turned out to be a game we should have won... against a notoriously inconsistent opponent. I liked BBs words after the game. Though I don't like 'iffs' I suspect had Rowe/Jones and Thomas played we would have won... bringing in a first game for the year bloke (Sumner) and Macreadie for Rowe was wrong.
Re: Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne - Boundaryrider - 05-28-2017
Bullshit watch the sumner watch very hard and macredie is what we want high pot key defenders who are 18-21. They are as good as they get we are 2 years away I know who's list I want. We were good just not great. I would like Byrne in that side and then I think we win.

Was at the game and liked a lot of what I saw after quarter time! Yes we played badly but ffs the umpires really helped them
Along and it's tough when you're working your guts out and getting free kick after free kick called that are at best 50/50 and which result in opposition goals! It was bullshit.
Thought Gibbs was outstanding today and liked that Cunningham backed himself.
They will learn from that but gee it would've been a better learning experience to come from so far down to win it!
Re: Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne - jeza - 05-28-2017
Watching the replay now... Weitering is shot.
He wasnt playing poorly because he was in the forward line. He's just plain sh#t out of form. Needs to be dropped.

Umpiring.... jeeez. How many times did they get tackled and just throw the ball? We got pinged for it twice - both times we tried the same trick - them never.
Holding the ball not paid also.
Re: Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne - pinot - 05-28-2017
I'm not overly concerned this is a "development" year we have one more draft to go to bring in more youngsters then we go for A grade free agents. We have to.
This is going to be a frustrating year and next year will be pretty much the same - but expect some improvement at the tail end of this year and win some games.
Re: Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne - Mantis - 05-28-2017
It was never going to be easy giving them a huge head start. Need to learn to keep the opponent in striking range earlier in the match. This is the fish that got away. Some negatives from this match but a few future good players to develop also.
