AFL Rd 20 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - crashlander - 07-21-2023
Friday night at the MCG. Don't know if I'm really looking forward to it: too many injuries at the wrong time.
Re: AFL Rd 20 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood - crashlander - 07-22-2023
I wonder how many of our starting midfield will actually be fit to play?

1x inside 50
3x tackles
2x tackles inside 50
4x score involvements
1x clearance
1x goal
27x pressure acts - equal game high
You see those numbers and you think thats pretty damn good.
You want your small forward to pressure, tackle, get involved with setting up goals and kicking them.
He did all those things.
I thought it was one of his best ever games watching at the ground. Was surprised to see the hate directed at him.

re pies vs port
Best result for us really.
Hard fought game which will tire the pies out.
They got out of jail again, so they still think their $hit don't stink.
Had they lost that one, they would've had extra motivation against us next week.
Going to be a huge crowd at this one with 2 in-form teams with 90k+ members (each) trying to get in to see this one.

But watching at the ground too, no, I don’t think he did anywhere near enough.

Against pies you need to have a FIGJAM attitude. We don’t, yet. Port did but fluffed it. They won’t make the mistake again.

Truth be told, i'm not a fan.
But at the ground, i saw how hard he was working to put pressure on the ball carrier. He seemed to be everywhere. Clearly, that was without the ball. I deliberately went looking for the 'pressure act' stat to see if my eyes were lying to me, but no, he was up with the best in that area.
Having said that, that is the minimum we can expect from him. He needs to continue to improve his offensive side of his game to succeed at AFL level. I just think people are being a bit harsh on him.
