Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 21: Carlton vs. Richmond

[townsendcalling]

There is no doubt that McGovern looked trimmer, moved freer and was far more involved than previous weeks. He obviously lacked match practice but I think the effort was there. He’ll be ok.

According to the injury update for R21 (posted on the 6th August), Cuningham played 78 minutes in the VFL last week, pulled up ok and was in the mix for selection for today's game. He was listed in the lineup for today's VFL game, but I don't know if he played.

I was watching the VFL game from the 2nd quarter and he wasn't out there - hopefully it's nothing serious

Thought Plow was good.

How about bloke's like Fisher, LOB, Gibbo (today) and Lang who provided zip defensive pressure....

Agree that Fisher, LOB were very quiet today and seem to be crawling to the line for the end of the year

Gibbo, Deluca & Lang wouldn't be getting a game at many clubs in the AFL.

Same old results as previous years we kick ball long to fwd line and they run it out and score easy goals  until we find runners ,ball catrriers  we are a middle table team

Lang will be chopped.

The other two will be fine, though Gibbons was ordinary today.

DeLuca could have had 2 goals if he'd settled a bit more...give the guy a break, he's played 3 or 4 games after moving interstate mid year ie new team, new town, no pre season with his team mates...

If Kreuzer had kicked the goal at the start of Q4 we might have even seen a different result - we didn't take any chances today really after a very poor first half we got back into the game.

Jones absolutely flogged Riewoldt today....and had quite a few intercept marks today, 7 actually, as well as 15 1%ers (which is usually spoils).
Casboult wishes he could do what Jones did today.

I said Jones played well.

I'm talking about what Casboult brought to the team when he went back.

I won't name names, this has already been done, but we just don't yet have the physical maturity or poise/class of good teams such as the Tigers and Eagles - pretty obvious over the past two games and the main reasons why we lost them. By way of a little compensation we do have the guts to fight games out to the end, at the moment. Pretty obvious and vital that we just have to try to rectify these deficits as far as we can via this years trading activities in order to start to make progress further up the ladder.

Hmm. Maybe a late out. Hopefully we'll get some info soon, perhaps the next injury update. He's a good player, but gee he breaks down every 5 minutes.

I thought we were less impressive today than we were vs the Eagles, maybe it was the conditions and the bigger tiger bodies but they had there fair share of kids playing and were missing some real quality. You wonder where we are going when Kreuzer, Simpson, and say Daisy give it away...
