Re: 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Melbourne - Gointocarlton - 02-28-2024
Oh by the way, praccy match or not, we have to travel to the Gabbatoir in a little over a weeks time. If we play like tonight, they will make an utter mess of us. Its concerning that we are playing like this on our home deck a week out from the real stuff. I expected a sharper effort than this. I hope the Xmas bath water drinking sessions didn't happen.

We would hopefully play with more intensity. The rest follows.
That last part though is my worry I must admit.

Haven't kicked any goals yet but dumped a few out on the full.

Don't care about intensity as it's a practice game but our ball movement is terrible.

But to play as shambolic as as we have on a ground that we we know (or should know) every blade of grass and have trained on all summer? Its a real worry.
Ollie Hollands has been our best player by the length of the Flemmington straight.

Ball movement improved the second I posted that.
Re: 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Melbourne - laj - 02-28-2024
Last 10 min we have lifted our intensity and looked like our old selves. At least the old selves from the 2nd half of last year.
