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

[jeza]

Saw bits and pieces on TV.  A couple of bits that I liked - Dow had the footy and Rioli lined him. Dow rode the tackle and Rioli went down.

In the first(?) qtr, McKay tired to kick a bit round the corner to Casboult and ended up out of bounds - Derm, mentioned that with a bit more experience, there was a sidestep and easy pass.  Late in the game SOSOS did that - sidestepped the opponent and put it on McKay's head - mark and goal.

The kids did some good stuff and we didn't seem to try to be so cute, which helped.

One annoying thing was Phillips (twice) and Charlie were having set shots from 55 out. Never going to work...

I recall Phillips kicking a goal from 55m set shot once before to win the game for us. Ripped his hamstring off doing it too.

H will be the Rising Star this week.

Think it will be Tom Doedee from the Crows...

Cam O'Shea had 10 possessions - 8 of them clangers. I don't know if a player in double figures for disposals has ever had a 80% clanger rate before or will again. That is remarkable. I can't see how we can keep him in the team based on that alone. Experienced player too.

You have a few things wrong with this statement.

Firstly, he did have 10 possessions and he did have 8 clangers.
However, not all clangers come from possessions.

He actually went at 50%, not 20% as you suggest.

He had 2 Free kicks against, which count as clangers.

FWIW...

A clanger in Australian rules football is a term coined by Champion Data founder Ted Hopkins which refers to a turnover or a silly mistake made by a player. Its vague description in statistical tables is "errors including frees against".

Playing as a young key forward in a team getting hammered for large periods will do that.

Charlie Curnow was much more prominent more frequently and hit the scoreboard less.

It's workrate and application not anything else.

I particularly relished that moment - Rioli would have regretted deciding on that move, and Dow looked rock solid.  )

That's coz his torso rests on colosseum pillars )

That's been McKay's problem at lower levels as well, at the moment he's a 50% player, he needs to learn to be switched on all the time. I think he said as much in his post match interview when they asked him about the difference at AFL level.

It's the main reason most of us thought Kerr was the better option at the moment.

Heard Terry Wallace say that we had 7 players who played in the VFL against v Collingwood two weeks ago.  If we keep plugging away we'll win soon enough.

He had 6 turnovers and a supercoach score of 14, he had a shocker.

Fisher is getting better every week, runs hard both ways and uses the ball well.
