Post Game Celebration: AFL 2019 Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane

[Thryleon]

You can take Fitzroy out of Melbourne but you can't take the Fitzroy out of Brisbane.

ROFL.

Be interesting if Teague wins enough games to put him in the frame for the job but MLG and friends have done a deal
with another bigger name coach as of now....

The Sydney Dilemma:  Wallace and Roos revisited!!

Ha, well whaddya’ know.

Teague! Walsh! Cripps!

No time for point scoring? But that’s the sweetest plum! So i’d like to send a cheerio to G. Whateley who was scornful at the decision to change coaches and muttered at quarter time that the plain truth is Carlton are awful.

Did Gerald really say that? Sometimes he says stuff that makes me want plant one on that crooked beak of his....the scorn he has for the Blues is palpable >

Pretty obvious a few posters have cracked a can or two given the win.  I know I have.

Almost forgotten what a refreshing change it is to listen to a winning coach attend a press conference.

If the guys don't take some heart out of that, they never will.

DT is most definitely in the picture for senior coach if he keeps that up.

Cripps?  Far and away the best player in the comp.  We should throw everything at him to retain him on the list.  Not only a great player but a leader with no compare in today's game

Nothing like a bit of tagging to take the No 1 opposition player out of the game.....and play to your own players strengths.

Yep, finally played him as a tagger on the oppositions best play maker....so f.....g obvious...but Bolts wouldn't do it this year for some reason :

If Plowman was on Cameron, then soecisl
Mention to him. CC has been dangerous recently.

The tagging question is a contentious one. Listen to Fagan's post match presser. He said that once we got ahead, they sent a tagger to Cripps, but as he said "it's not helping us, we better just hunt ourselves." Coaches are certainly reluctant to do it, some more than others.

There is a definite advantage in winning the toss on a sunny day at Marvel.  Kick to the ‘left of screen’  first up (as we did) and you only look into the sun for one quarter....the second. It has completely moved on by the time the last quarter. It is a pain in the ar$e looking into it for 2 quarters.

Bartel is scathing about the orientation of Marvel.

Yep, that is the reality of tagging, it's not a one way solution, one size doesn't fit all.

If coaches do it by default without careful management they shoot themselves in the foot 50% of the time! Doing it all the time is just as bad as not doing it ever!
