H has got it reasonably sorted: he goes around the body from one side and drop punts from the other. He needs to get the distance of the round-the-body stuff sorted.
Cripps' shot from long range with the drop punt was perfect. Should be the way he kicks at goal all of the time. That is what he did against Richmond in Round 1. I don't mind him trying to go around the corner when the angle is poor, but if he kicks through the like he does from distance, then he's on a winner.
Charlie: I'm not sure where Charlie is with his kicking. He's the one who needs to get a routine down.
I expect the coaches to grill and drill them this pre season. But thats only a small part in overall game plan defence has been exceptional almost all year - and we need a stingy defence to win finals
Re: AFL Rd 19 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs GWS - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-24-2022
GWS are garbage and one of the softest teams going around so I wouldnt get too carried away with todays game, we got the 4 points and came home well which is a positive but I didnt find too many outstanding players when the game was up for grabs apart from Saad who was best on the ground by a country mile.
Coniglio is the worst 1.2 mill a year player I have seen and Himmelberg about the softest KP player, saw the latter pull up in a contest and if I was Mcveigh I would have ripped him straight off the ground.
TDK was good value like he always is vs Pruess and even Jack was able to push the big blouse out of the road at times, honestly if Malcom Blight thought Pittman was pathetic he would have had a field day with big Brayden who played with the physicality of a macca's soft serve on a 40 degree day.
Setterfield still doesnt do much for me as a footballer and ok he got a few touches today but the opposition was about as weak as it gets and I'd want to see a whole lot more from him before I pencilled his name in our best 22 for the finals, his kicking is my major concern with him under pressure.
Two players who I did like were LOB and Cottrell who are probably our best bets on the wings and need to be persisted with, was never a fan of LOB but he has won me over to an extent and I now consider him a reliable footballer as is Cottrell who for a U18 no name tagger continues to get the job done each week...nice recruiting from SOS.
McGovern made a useful return which was handy as I feel Young has been slightly off the last couple of weeks and Weitering is still working his way back to his best form.
I dont mind Josh Honey as he has some X factor but he has to do more to hold his spot especially vs the lower teams and you would probably go for Martin ahead of him for finals if he doesnt show more vs another dud team in the Crows next game.
We are still missing Owies and while TDK was good again today we need Pittonet back next week to tune up for the finals and have that option of TDK down forward as well as to give the kid a rest not that he needed it vs the opposition he had today.
Taranto played like a bloke on the way out and I wouldnt mind finding out what Hopper wants in terms of money although I believe Geelong and Richmond are already fighting over his signature....

Not only doesn't he know the words but it looks like he isn't interested in learning them.

One of those wins where you take 4 points but little comfort. In addition to the outs I mentioned earlier, I forgot no Jesse Hogan, no Whitfield, and most significantly, no Tom Green.

We have been able to win with a huge list of injuries (we still do have a decent injury list) so lets not feel too sorry for the opposition.
For the record....
Pittonet
Hewitt
Williams
....is probably more significant than the 3 you mentioned.
but also...
Owies
Martin
McDonald
E. Curnow
Cuningham
Boyd
S. Durdin
Parks
Philp
....and the loss of Williamson

Have I got this right? Knowing there are still several moving parts.
To play finals we need 2 more wins.
If so, we'll be favoured but not guaranteed v Crows at home. What other game do you see us winning?
Dees
Pies
Lions at home

What a great description.
My question remains. Who do we beat to make finals?

true we do have lenty of kids - but a good kid stands out on how many contests he gets involved and Honey gets involved in plenty with power and determination - he is not a red time junky and think match commitee like that.
