VFL 2022 Rd 12 Carlton vs Port Melbourne at Port - crashlander - 07-08-2022
We play this saturday evening at Port Melbourne, as they show off their new lights.
A pity, I've always considered the place a dump.
To be honest, I don't think a night game suits us much, as Mirkov has played his least effective games at night.
However, we do get a few players back. It will be good to have Ed Curnow, for example, running around.
I have no idea what the squad will look like, not with the seniors playing in Perth on Sunday. Just as long as it is a combination good enough to bring home the points.

Something of a rabble in the 1st. Lack of height really hurting us. Liking Edwardo Curnow. Magoo Blues down by 18 pts at qtr time. Uninspiring stuff. No Crocker up forward.

Half time, Magoo Blues down by 26. Respectable efforts in that qtr from E Curnow, Fogarty, Stocker, Mirkov and Dow... nothing to write home about. Undermanned and undersized... our bigger fellas in the shapes of Cripps and JGM have been without impact. Tall Durds doing alright. Uninspiring.
Re: VFL 2022 Rd 12 Carlton vs Port Melbourne at Port - Baggers - 07-09-2022
3/4 time. Magoo Blues 34 pts down despite looking better and working much harder in that qtr.
Undersized forward line so we kick it in high giving their defense countless marks and spoils.
Don't know who Stocker has p1ssed off but he has been a ripper... again!
Fogarty probably our best... well supported by Cahill (3 goals). Mirkov doing alright and Tall Durds solid.
Wanted to put my fist through the computer screen a few times to knock some sense into Dow. Has done some very good things, kicked a goal but some of his disposal has undone good work... just sh1te, even gave it back to them when we had the run of play.

Fogarty's disposal is horrendous, Stocker had plenty of ball but looks laconic and isnt really going hard at all. Id put him in the middle this last quarter. Tyreece Lieu shows something down back as does the ex Essendon small in Ned Cahill down the forward line but apart from that its slim pickings in terms of good Carlton players imo.
Sam Durdin marks the ball ok but his disposal is laconic and at high risk of turnover when he kicks short, got to get those high dinky short passes out of his game to play senior AFL footy.
Mirkovs ruckwork isnt too bad but he doesnt much else, Paddy Dow is being tagged but still getting some ball but just doesnt impact with his disposals and its still U18 footy in terms of how he plays the game which is disappointing.
The Manton kids are going ok for Port and Archie has good hands, the bloke at Fullback for Port in Ethan Philips looks a very neat
accomplished player and has marked everything very cleanly on a misty dewy night and he looks not far off a rookie spot for a club wanting a taller defender.

Despite the score line, we are pretty disjointed which isn't a surprise given how many players are being rotated through the squad, I thought Dow was better tonight around the footy, A bit more physical and less receive, he's got Ed out there to keep him honest. Not surprising the 35 year old looks the best of the lot, I'm a bit surprised we didn't bring Ed straight in as I think he is the sort of fix we need for a few of the current problems!

Everyone lifted in the final qtr... the comeback was on, until we started giving away silly free kicks, mostly through over-exuberance.
Got the margin under 4 goals. Credit given where due, Dow has worked his dot off in the final qtr.
Re: VFL 2022 Rd 12 Carlton vs Port Melbourne at Port - Baggers - 07-09-2022
Since we've lowered our eyes going forward, we've given our forwards a much better look.
Probably too late, but at around the 27 min mark of the final qtr we've pulled the margin back to 7pts.
Re: VFL 2022 Rd 12 Carlton vs Port Melbourne at Port - Baggers - 07-09-2022
2 pts in it with seconds remaining... ruckwork from Mirkov has been sublime in this final qtr... put it down the throats of our blokes many times. Just has to do more around the ground...
