Reckon we're anchored to our ladder position ... or thereabouts. The stars are unlikely to align to help us out much.
Some good signs out of the day. But fadeouts inevitably haunt us. Exacerbated by so many injuries.

Agree on Pittonet though, more valuable than most think, its not about winning the ruck everytime but just nullifying
the opposition rucks and breaking even when they probably have the edge in numbers and ability.
Levi had been abysmal for 3 quarters, no question, but really found something in the last.
Negated Darcy entirely and took some telling, timely ,marks.

Thought Kennedy was one of the main reasons we held sway in Q4.
Top 3 for mine.

The points tally can be misleading.
I'd reckon 6 or 7 points were rushed or smashed through from kicks falling short.
We forced them wide making shots on goal difficult. That's smart.
Cerra, for example, kicked 0.2.
Can't recall the first (Q1?), the second he selfishly tried a shot from about 55 out....
We kicked 2.5 to 0.2 in the last, we kick 5.2 or better win by 30+, no one would mention their points tally.
Great win by our lads.
We'll roll the Cats next week.

For most of the night Walsh was being shadowed quite well. But in the last quarter he was nothing short of brilliant. That goal was incredible.
Kennedy was good in the middle, especially in the middle two quarters, because he just got the ball forward without trying to be fancy. We got goals from his clearances. When he wasn't in the middle, he barely touched in those quarters. He was good early and very solid in the last.
In the last quarter and in the first we really squashed Fyffe. But in the middle two we had problems with our centre setup.
Levi Casboult more than needed the run. For 3 quarters he was dreadful, dropping marks and making mistakes. His last quarter was another beat entirely. Him lifting denied Freo the easy clearances. We have little choice but to play him: we don't have another tall to bring in. But he did a lot of redeeming in that last quarter.
Jack Silvagni had a dominant game. he has rarely had more of the ball. We finally looked for him on the lead and his first two kicks at goal were superb. That was how he did back in his first season. That is what he needs to do every week.
He hurt his right foot kicking a Freo player in Q1.....
Couldn't kick with his right after that. Made him handball - good outcome!

Don't know why Kennedy isn't in the 22 every week, handy foot soldier in multiple roles.
Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 16: Carlton vs Fremantle - flyboy77 - 07-03-2021
ps why id we change our 'plan' come Q2.
We started sagging off our opponents and letting them transition way, way too easily.
It was bizarre the transformation....
Our mids got (too) cocky I reckon.

Cripps did well to stay on and showed plenty of ticker. Thought we were a lot more organised this game and had more contributors who worked harder for their teammates.
Docherty, Murphy and Williams missing might have helped us imo, as others took on responsibility and played accountable footy.

And he has a terrific, positive, happy disposition.
Something our team lacks.
Williams in or Willo next week, the rest unchanged I would think (if Crippa's foot is ok).
Twos were putrid again i gather....
