Re: Rd 16: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Melbourne - Professer E - 07-09-2017
I'm shat off.... Drove 400 km to get radio reception and we had an "honourable" loss. I call bulldust. Melbourne are rubbish, they were ripe for the taking. I'll give them full marks for sheer effort but it wasn't good enough today. Just what do we do we tradesmen like Kerridge the ball burner, or White, who seems to end every game injured.... Can't win with only cameos from the kids and I'll call the elephant in the room - I'm worried, really worried about Weitering.
As for Fussy, the VFL is the place to find form, not the seniors.
If Melbourne are a finals side the standard of the competition is poor.

First time I really saw the effect of lack of rotations. Have no doubt if cripps was for we win that game. As soon as the ball found space in the last we couldn't go with them for pace. Cost us the game imo.
Charlie was very good and is developing much faster then expected but like a lot of our kids seems to tire in the 2nd half.
Sheehan got nervous and cost us with some silly turnovers which were critical in the result.
Kruezers work around the ground was awesome and has to be AA at this stage.
Lost so not happy, but bigger picture is the club is showing a ton me of heart and is definitely better then I thought they would be At 18 months into a full rebuild.
Add 2 decent midfielders, resign cas and keep Gibbs and very real chance of jumping up the ladder next year and finals are not out of reach in 2018 based on what I've seen.

SHIT that loss hurt - at the game, the Blues crowd was willing them over the line and you could see they were beyond totally spent!
Hate Lewis, dickhead

We are not a finals side but we are getting closer need to finish of this year strongly even if we lose performances like that are good - one or two more wins this year will be great for team/club confidence.
Melbourne had a lot of players out and if we are a genuine finals side we need similar type of depth. So need to go to the draft again and pick up loads of youngsters.

We're missing a few too then were left with only 2 on the bench, Did well in the end.
Looking at the stats the kids are now getting tired. Alot of potential there though.
I don't think i'd be worrying about Weitering too much. He'll be a gun for years.
Re: Rd 16: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Melbourne - Bear - 07-09-2017
Weitering seems a little down on confidence... reckon he had a couple of chances to kill the contest, and I'd like to see him back himself a bit more and kick long (forward) out of defence. Almost seems too worried about making a mistake. But he is a 19 year old learning the caper - don't be too worried.
We simply borked up too many gilt edged chances to win that game. Frustrating.

Thought MK was magnificent
Jacks kicking for goal is so good, I really feel confident when He has it in hand.
Charlie's goals was amazing. SPS's excellent!
Thought Gibbs spectated a lot in the first half - Murph was very good.
Plow was fantastic. Kerridge made some Dumb Errors but knows how to find the ball. Casbolt marked everything. Love that!
Weiters was fine for mine, I didn't think he did anything
The more they all play together the better they'll get.
Umpiring really gave me the craps.

IMO..NO...umpiring was woeful all day, inconsistent and helped lose us the game IMO..

I also thought Macreadie played really well. His stats say otherwise, but he wasn't there for that. He just seemed to be at the contest. Looked an assured senior AFL footballer to me.
