Rd 15: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Adelaide
#71
Well said Robblues. Spot on.
Today was a great learning experience. Our seniors stood up and enabled the youngsters to work through an important process of perseverance (despite a false start in q1).

Jones may very well end up our highest Brownlow vote getter. Amazing!

I'm looking at him winning it, 11 x 3=33 votes, easy...haha!

5 pages and no word on Jack Silvagni. Is he a bit of a protected species??  Didn't see the game at all but others seem to be potted before Jack.

I thought he was OK, particularly with the defensive pressure he applied in our forward line.  He took the game on and kicked a nice goal when many players of his age would have looked to give the ball off.  However, I reckon he needs to be more consistent and become more of an offensive threat.  We're not going to win many games when our smaller forwards get 5 or 6 touches.

Inconsistent but still young - he will come good 22-23 years old. Needs to have a couple of A graders around him which he doesn't - this is why I want Murphy playing as small forward to lead the forward line with Wright. He is hitting the scoreboard which is important and runs his arse off every game . I think he is starting to get tired now but will finish the season around 10 disposal average and some 20 goals. Next year you would want him to target something along the lines of 12 disposal average and 25 goals... then 15 disposal average and 30 goals..... then we will have a player. He has kicked 12 goals this year so far.

It's hard to pot a bloke who bleeds navy, gives 100% does what he does well but just needs to get involved more when expectations out of the kid are low.

He is ahead of schedule and would probably do well to have a spell in the vfl but someone needs to be knocking on the door.

This puts it in a nutshell.
Silvagni is tracking well, if we were a top side he'd be spending more time in the VFL but we don't have that luxury.
He's got Levi, Sumner and other  bit players around him to teach him the craft, along with Charlie Curnow who is on L plates as well,  we need to be more patient with him than usual. 
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Don't understand the anti-Murphy rants, he was clearly in our best yesterday.

Also Gibbs, Jones, Kreuzer, Curnow, Simpson, Docherty, Kerridge played well. All four quarter players.

I reckon if we had ACoS yesterday we might well have won!
