Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 22: Carlton vs St Kilda

[cookie2]

Yep, got lucky Membrey missed a couple he would normally kick, Plowman actually has 3cm on Membrey but the latter has a good vertical leap and gadget arms. Kicked 3 2. from 10 marks
and had 15 possies so I gave the points to Membrey but we didnt have our full crew in and Plowman probably got a player he wasnt suited to.
Carlisle is a useful player....useful as a step ladder for taking marks on but thats about all, thought McGovern played well and backed up his game from last week.
Saints fans and players were giving it to him the whole game to according to my Saints supporting inlaws who went to the game calling him fatty and the crape MCgovern brother so it was good to see him play well and stick it back at them....Saints have some of the worst feral supporters going around.

'Twas always thus unfortunately.

Saints player knocked umpire q2 about 6.40 to go.. umpire almost went ao

Nothing to see I suppose ????
Or doesn't that rule apply to 17 teams ?

Did Setterfield play back pocket on Stevens all day?

I was at the game....with 2 kids.....and at about the only time i saw setterfield was when he was running on/off the bench.

Based on that logic, he may have been tucked away in the back pocket.

It was always Simmo, Plowman and Daisy who were saving the day on the last line of defence on a fast break though.

Another recruit who fails to impress.

He hasn't done much since he got that standing ovation a few weeks back. He'll come good.

Coming off a knee recon and 19 games under his belt, I think he canbe cut some slack....

Due to the lack of personnel in the backline, Setterfield was asked to play a role that was totally foreign to him.  He basically took Plowman’s place as a shutdown. As has been mentioned, 19 games in total, off a reco, he’ll be fine.

Pretty much.  He did a few good things but lowered his colours a couple of times too.

Setterfield keeps being played in different positions every week. None of them the role he'd have played as a junior. You have to take his up and down performances with a grain of salt.

Same goes for a lot of our younger players.

I thought that Setterfield played a useful game as a defender, a role that's very different to his usual place on the wing.  He didn't get a lot of the ball but featured in some crucial defensive plays.

I think he is another player who will benefit from getting through this season and will flourish after a full pre-season.
