Post Game Passion: AFL 2021 Rd 2: Carlton vs Collingwood

[tonyo]

One incident makes a trend these days according to all the media and analysts.

Once = 'trend'
Twice = 'complete change in direction'
Thrice = 'traditional'

....then the circle starts again

7 of Collingwood's total of 13 marks inside 50 were in the 1st quarter.

Probably Elliott and Degeoy, wonder who they were playing on?

I don't remember the specifics, but Kane Cornes said Plowman had Elliott the whole of the 1st quarter, then got moved onto deGoey in the 2nd. Elliott and Jordy are class acts and tough match ups, and when the ball comes in at cruise missile speed because the blokes up the ground are effectively invisible, I would defy any of our defenders to do better.

Dont disagree and made comment on Plowmans situation on another thread where I also take aim at the coach...

Should have added we lack that leader down back to organize such team defense....the good Carlton teams always had your Peter Dean/Michael Jamison types similar to Grimes who could work it out on field.
Poor Doc has had a bad run with injury /illness and isnt playing with any confidence to do that and a few things have transpired against us like they usually do when you are a mid pack team.

I heard a person on radio yesterday say Plowman is the general down  back for us.
