Re: Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne - mateinone - 05-29-2017
I tell you what reading this all our kids were crap and we still hit the lead in the last quarter... Bloody hell, the other 14 or so players must have played their best ever games.
You play 9 kids 22 or under and it is tough, but they are seriously having a go and I think there is a lot to like. I don't care about wins, it is far less important to me that we win games, than to see all players having a go and improving, which I think is obvious.
I want to win, I was screaming at the screen, but there is a lot to like about the way we are doing things this season.

If that hit was deemed an MRP incident, then how on earth wasnt it a free kick down field??
Exactly, 3 Leos. That hit happened in front of us and the umpire was only about 10 metres away and just starred like a stunned mullet... the crowd gave him heaps. There were a number of baffling decisions in the first half.

For 10 + years when we were on the receiving end of a block of unanswered goals, we would capitulate. We were expected to do the same
Yesterday, sure the box and players lost concentration for a bit, but what happened after was a turning point in growth and confidence.
# 28, grew in confidence, 31 keeps growing, 30 is showing signs. 22 is a star
4 played a blinder, 15 is a warrior 8 keeps giving, 9 is courageous and #3 needs to learn courage from #9
#3 walked of the ground looking too fresh for mine.
You missed #6. Another top game and is aging like a fine wine.

Agree totally. This lot usually wipes the floor with us. But not this time
Can't expect much more than that from this mix of players.

I watched Silvagni (Jack) attempt 5 tackles running at full pelt in order to create a turnover in the last quarter. He ran himself ragged trying to keep the ball in our forward half. Another preseason or two and he would have nailed one of them. Tried his guts. Out as did the other teenagers. Eventually it will turn.

May need a spell in the NB's to learn some of the accountability facets of the game....got no doubt he will make it though and become an exciting player for us...
just watched it again, can't agree at all re SPS or Marley for that matter.
Thought Murphy had a shocker....
#30 very good.
plenty of good stuff from all thr kids, Graham included....just lack one extra quality mid....
Re: Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne - LoveNavy - 05-29-2017
I thought Graham showed some improvement. He was fearless getting in doing the hard stuff. My only criticism remains his disposal. All his hard work went to the opposition quite a few times. Gee if he can improve that, he'll be in for a call up more weeks than not.

Marley had 24 possies....thats way too many for a backpocket.....SPS had 7 possies, Sumner who most rated as poor had 8 .....not sure how I see we won that position.
Our best forward pocket in Wright keeps getting used up the ground and I reckon he needs to stay forward more...
Graham won the ball ok but his effectiveness with the footy is still an issue IMO.
Murphy had Dumont for company through the game....agree that Murphy wasnt great and Dumont was an effective player IMO...

Yes, we noticed Wright was playing at HBF for a lot of the game and did some decent work there, obviously playing a role. Agree, he seems far better value though as a small forward who knows where the goals are.

His kicking may be way off at the moment, and I would defer to others as to whether a stint in the 2s might be the answer, but my god, his endeavour and effort just can't be questioned.
He runs so hard in both directions.
