2018 Rd 5: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs West Coast

[Lods]

...and thats about it i think. Everyone else either competed, or showed improvement. Far from perfect, but you give me effort and i'll shutup.

Yep
That's all we ask!

Not too many players i'm disappointed with after that effort....but i'll mention them here as its easier than mentioning the ones who did well.

Jed Lamb. About halfway through the 3rd quarter i was wondering if i missed a late out, because i don't think i'd seen him up to that point. Was better in the last, but where was he before then?

Plowman i'm a huge fan of, but he made at least 2 huge mistakes that we can't afford to make. He is still young in his AFL career, but i thought he'd passed that by now.

OShea...don't really see it with him. Not sure if his best work is done off the ball or what, but he doesn't seem to do a whole lot in the moment. Fumbley, clumsy and pedestrian.

Mullett...one of his better games, but i'm still not sure of his place in the side. Kicking is good, he attempts harder kicks because of his ability and sometimes they blow up in his face, but still lacking in influence in the games. Just keeping the chair warm for Doc i think.

...and thats about it i think. Everyone else either competed, or showed improvement. Far from perfect, but you give me effort and i'll shutup.

Kruddler Barassi..lol.

Great summary Kruddler. Spot on IMO.
The other players I thought were a bit quiet or at least patchy, were Samo and Garlett. Both WA boys, may be suffering the loss of fellow Freo player.

Garlett??

[Professer E]

I queried his diminutive size when drafted but Fisher has proved to be an astute selection.

A much improved team effort but we'd kill for a decent small forward or two.
Plenty to like about some of the kids, top games from Cripps, Thomas and Jones.
Roll on next week, we'll win one soon enough.

Those 2, along with SOSOS were far from brilliant performances, but i don't think any of them dropped there head and stopped working. Garlett only had 5 touches, but 3 tackles to go with it.

You can't always get the ball, but you can always give effort on defense.

Could only watch on tv so can't really tell what's going on but our effort/workrate seemed much better than the last two weeks, weren't consistently outnumbered at contests, and we seemed much better with our tackiling, so I'm happy with that. Basic skills errors cost us, but so be it. Excellent signs from Dow and O'Brien. Cripps was awesome, again. McKay may end up being a player, and Fisher continues to impress every week. Good signs, but a lot of work still to do

Can we ask for Betts and Garlett back?...lol.
