2018 Rd 11: Post Game Pragmatism: Carlton vs Sydney

[IvanAwfulbigone]

That was the first time this year he's missed from a set shot.  I thought the player on the mark put him off by running hard at the mark as he was about to kick. Something you don't see often.

I noticed that as well. Looked for all the world like he went over the mark, Hawthorn style. I’d love to see a replay from a different angle.

[Baggers]

Just finished watching the game again. IMHO in was only skill errors that cost us, no more complicated than that. Critical skill errors at that, and from people who should know better... a few howlers from Simmo and Kerridge who were both, otherwise, very good. Attitude, intensity, game plan... all good. We certainly didn't embarrass ourselves which many 'experts' predicted.

Probably O'Shea's best game for us thus far.

Cuningham is just about confirmed as Kane Lucas Mk III. What a waste of sublime talent.

SOJ imposed himself on the contest though tired somewhat in the second half... he'll only improve further as he builds his tank and strength.

O'Brien needs time in the twos.

If we continue and build upon that approach and intensity, and with some experienced blokes back, I reckon we'll win a few in the back half of the season... and how you finish a season is really important.

[LP]

Sinclair and Rowe both fined.

Franklin twice handed out high forearm fend-offs, as well as one blatant high tackle that wasn't penalised! Yet escapes scrutiny!

[Lods]

Rowe was lucky.











Carlton players don't usually get off with a fine

[Professer E]

Menegola hardly gets looked at,  yet Rowe cops a $1500 fine.

Sinclair flops around like a fish and gets $1000 fine.

Level playing field my ar$e.

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention Daisy Baggers.  His third quarter was perhaps the worst football I’ve seen from an established player and virtually handed the game to the Swans. 

Some of our other players had moments that they’d rather forget but none of them came close to Daisy’s profligate efforts.

We should appeal Rowe’s fine and show the footage of Menegola sinking the slipper into Rowe’s head as the basis of the appeal.

I would agree with that, have really liked Daisy's game this year , but your right DJC , he stunk it up big time , lost focus completely.

Just forgot to put his name in there. Also aghast at his errors in a 3rd qtr to forget. Simmo and Kerridge also handed the opposition possession and goals with howlers... but Daisy headed the podium.

Much was made of Daisy's defensive role in the game. Was this more so than in previous games? If so maybe it was a case of him getting to grips with a different role. He was pretty bad though.
