Re: AFL Rd 18 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - LP - 07-13-2024
The berserker games style has served us well, especially since the rules changed, but we were beaten at our own game tonight.
PS; Nice to hear Voss backing Cripps, as the leader of his players. Also great to hear him vaguely mention the nefarious stuff happening in our D50 that I talked about in game that went unpunished and delivered the Dogs multiple goals. Also liked the Voss comments about a season long focus, fans are largely ignorant of those effects when they comment about MC issues.

System not hamstring by rucks. Weitering needs help, Newman is getting attention and not chopping things off like he did, Kemp is man minding marchbank is a shadow, cowans opponents are getting loose and saad is not accountable.
What we need is another tall who is that dour type who just gets the job done and doesn't need to be a world beater just defensively dour. Will aid weitering to get back to chopping the play off because our opposition stopped him by blocking his run at the ball drop and the umps let it go all day.
That and the fact that we were often under so much pressure in the middle it made life rough.
@Iaj, I'm not sure a wet night at the G is comparable to a dry deck at marvel. Composure cost us more.
We lost by 2 goals. A smaller type would have helped. Our strength is our pressure. Grunt types like Hewitt are way more important to that than another ruck. No ifs or buts there.
Melbourne still won with no rucks.

TDK is the best ruck I have seen playing for us since Justin Madden.
If anyone wants to build a spine then SOS is one hell of a spine builder when it comes to mids and smalls he is one hell of a dud.
But TDK must be solo ruck as it allows the lads to run out games and cover spaces on the spread better not to mention better efficiency in the coal face.
No slight on Pitto but he has always been VFL standard. He hasn't improved since 2018.. good bloke and blah blah but is a back up and thats it. Vossys game plan requires a crap load of physical intensity and despite Pitto being a strong bloke - thats about all where it stands for him. If we want hit outs then get an 8ft dope for $20k per year out of the USA that can tap the ball all day and do nothing else.

DMight have won with Goldy too!
The very night you decided to make this point there are two games where dominant solo rucks have lost! It's a waste of space in this thread because our loss wasn't a ruck driven issue, we had first use often and burnt the footy.

Hate losing, especially to a team below us on the ladder, even more so the WB. Results have gone our way in that we will maintain ladder position unless Port belt the suitcase out of GC.

Team apology to Crippa.
Obvious passengers... Cottrell, O Hollands, Marchbank and Pitto.
Few blokes in the Magoos should be rubbing their hands together.
MC... wake up to yourselves.
Charlie... 3.7, speaks for itself.
Midfield, except for Crippa - terrible.
Devoid of authority and confidence.
Didn't at all look like a top 4 side.
Embarrassing.

Who else are we superior too sight unseen?
Those of us old enough will recall losing to the Aints routinely, season after season, them at the bottom and us in our superiority at the top!

Anyone else feel we've got a bit 'lairy'.
I'm talking about things like underneath handballs or these overhead floaters without looking that hang in the air and miss the target as often as they hit it.
