Young is a good player but if I was coaching against him I would be playing a very mobile forward on him to run him around rather than try and play a contested marking game which is what Young prefers. Didn't think it was great coaching and proved costly as Cameron was the best forward on the ground imo..

He punched, sometimes with both hands, and he didn't make many good contacts. It reduced his effectiveness remarkably.
I think a lot of players stuggled to read the ball in the air last night.
Harry had a similar problem at the other end.
In the end Young and Weitering didn't have great games, but if we'd said before the game that Hawkins and Cameron would only get 5 between them we would have thought they'd done really well, and that would have gone a long way to us winning.
We probably just expected more than 3 from the Harry/Charlie combination.

Once their mids really got going, Cameron got into the game.

What annoyed me most was the lack of time put into Hawkins especially at boundary throw ins in the F50.
Re: AFL Rd 18 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Geelong - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-17-2022
I thought Cameron and Hawkins contributed to other goals as well which was the difference.
Geelong are playing a different game style now, I even saw Hawkins in the back pocket, the reliance on Dangerfield, Selwood etc is now over and more of their players are playing in a non traditional way and taking on more responsibility rather than relying on a couple of stars to ignite the rest..

He is more likely to like running around, and he has to be watched. Cameron couldn't just leave him and go off on his own; McGovern would bite them the other way.

To me it looked like some of our players got stage fright. Young, Weits, Harry, Cripps.
I dont remember a game where Cripps competed in the packs head first then complain about being hit head high. He usually enters into packs side on. So yeah - few f our guys got stage fright IMO. Good learning experience.

I recall three occasions last night when Cripps seemed to over-accentuate contact.
He did receive a free after one.
On another occasion it seemed like the Geelong players told him 'to wake up to himself' and gave him a push.
Against that he was scragged from pillar to post last night with little reward, so maybe he was just trying to get things noticed.

Not alot you could say about the game other than it was a learning experience of playing at the highest level under pressure.

It seems there have been quite a few people noticing how bad Nathan Williamson is.
