VFL 2021 Rd 2: Carlton vs Brisbane

[LP]

Liked 77 until I saw, especially in the 2nd, how slow he is. 57 has a fair-dinkum dip.

57 Parsons, old fashioned VFL FF, makes the most of his opportunities.

Sorry, I was thinking of 52 not 57.

Nice to get a win after last week, but I am really surprised how ordinary Brissie were. We need some key position players so badly, yet they couldn't handle the few talls we have.

I'll watch the replay later.

I enjoyed Jack's expert comments.  His ability to analyse and explain what was happening was really informative and his insights into his teammates and their strengths made the coverage much better.

Dow sitting out the last quarter suggests that he may be the medical sub instead of Kennedy ... unless he's injured.

Considering Mirkov has hardly played footy and is nowhere near fit enough, I reckon he has heaps of potential.  Matty K should take him under his wing.

Pretty sure it was rugby, but I might be confusing him with somebody else.

Cox played soccer at high school and limited basketball at college.  I don't think that you could say that he has a background in either sport.

Even with a medical dub, there still needs to be an ‘emergency’ in case someone goes down in the prematch etc.  purely precautionary I would think unless someone woke up with Bali belly!!

Does the club post a replay on the site?

We might have a late out in the senior team.
One the selectors weren't ready for.
All the emergencies except Kennedy played.
He was the logical medical sub

If we have a problem...
Kennedy goes into the starting 22
Dow sits out the last and becomes the med sub.

Of course Dow may have been injured before the last quarter.
We'll wait and see.

SEN praising Dow for only 20 possies vs a weak Brisbane twos lineup, just cant see him making it based on that game where we had control for 3 quarters and he was still turning the ball over by foot and hand with minimal pressure.
Setterfield had 25 possies and 10 tackles in what looked like a great game but I just saw more of the same old same old, not much physicality, the opposition in Matheison having a lot of ball and I couldnt get excited about his game either.
If you exclude Crocker who is a experienced journeyman I'd be struggling to find a player to get excited about even though we won by plenty.
Maybe Josh Hollywood Honey looks more of a senior footballer to me given he has a stronger physique but he is the same player he was at U18 level and thats great when he is on for a quarter but then goes missing even in a walkover like todays game.
Ramsey has good skills but is very light in the body and ditto for Philp, Owies isnt as good as Crocker and I'm not sold on Crocker either given he already has had a couple of goes in the AFL.
The other unlisted player to impress me more was Toby Wooller....good size, neat skills, liked what I saw from him and if I was picking one from the herd to supp list it would be him...

All clear. Kennedy is sub

I think Dow and Mathieson were just Insurance in case something happened during the Warm-up.
