Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd : Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[Lods]

Raydan reckons the crowds are 50-50 And they're only that because they have membership access and we have been crap.

It was 50/50 on the Gold Coast last week.
We have a lot of interstate support.

A long time between drinks. Time to reset before th next game and getting ve it another spin.

By the look of that post it hasn't been very long between drinks for you. ;D ;D

[Mantis]

Bloody spell check. Long time between drinks and time for another spin. Yes. When we win I celebrate and do it at full pace.  )

Us Carlton supporters today....lol.

Give the kid a haircut and a bit of muscle and he suddenly looks like a footballer with some authority. (Looked a lot like the old man at times....)

Gotta say, I did wonder what the reasoning behind the buzz cut would be.

Break-out game for SPS and H... both played with focus, authority and impact.

Thought SOJ was important... did some very good things at critical moments.

Gibbons continues to grow.

Polson the only real passenger.

Paddy Dow showed important stuff also... kicking improved but needs more.

ZF was also great and showed some fancy and effective weaving and footy smarts.

Forwards attacked the player approaching with the ball, demanding they be used.

Notice BB kept his addresses short...

Now to back it up.

Lachie o'Brien was a passenger today too.

I see. What is the Hawks W/L record down there ? Pretty good I believe.

Never mind. I found it. Played 60. W/D/L is 46/1/13. Won quite a few of their recent ones.

The disposal efficiency was a feature today.

Samo 35 disposals at almost 90% efficiency.

Walsh 26 at 92%

SOS 18 at 89%

Fisher 28 at 86%

I can't remember the last time we saw numbers like that.

H - 20 disposals and 4 goals. Absolutely brilliant. He's gone well past Curnow this year. Shame we couldn't see both at their best. That would be scarey.

Kreuzer's influence is immense. Lobbe in particular is so immobile by comparison. Countless times there today K just made the chase or applied the pressure where it would have been a walk into the F50 for the opposition. English might have looked good on the stats sheet but had little influence.

Agree on Harry, looked better than a lot of the other KP forwards in the league today, Dogs made a mistake in not playing the taller Trengove and Harry showed that he both a skilled and smart player and he played in front and was unstoppable. You have to wonder if Harry and Mcgovern as a combo works better than a Trio with Charlie thrown in, we seem to have more open space down forward and even Levi seemed to know what he was doing when he got a run down there.
Gibbons was ok today and used the ball better and credit to Jack who added something to the team.
