In Game Action: AFL Rd 19; Carlton vs North Melbourne at Marvel

[kruddler]

I think Williams has done a hamstring

Yep.....signalling to come off now.

[LoveNavy]

We've had 8 players hit the scoreboard, inreased our pressure q2, and had the rub of the green. Yet....
Hope they continue the pressure and if they tidy up goalkicking, we're a good chance.

Go Blues

[PaulP]

Certainly a very even contest. North have the upper hand in a few key statistical indicators, we have the upper hand in others. I wasn't expecting it to be quite this close.

[laj]

Temporarily out of the 8 on percentage.

Mightn't help much if we don't get players back soon. Geelong we tried to get all the numbers back to protect out lack of height. This time much higher up but we get caught the other way. Can't be easy with a restricted number of soldiers.

[Baggers]

Need Kennedy in the middle.

Forward line coach must impress upon Crippa to move about more, bring to ground in contests and to look for team mates more when in possession.

Murphy to come on (replacing Williams)? If so, a forward line of Betts, Owies and Murphy is a concern! Might be time to kick grubbers into the forward arc!!!

[kruddler]

I reckon Murphy will be on for Williams in the 2nd half.

I reckon Betts got a jab and will continue to play, but will largely be a non-event from here, expect to see plenty of tap ons from him, rather than grabbing, weaving and kicking.

I don't really care what happens from here, as long as we come out with the 4 points....and hopefully no more injuries!

Hopefully Charlie and Harry back next week (Maybe casboult too?) and our team dynamic is like night and day with today.

Confirmed.

Murphy on for him.

[Gointocarlton]

WOW

[shawny]

Any chance we man up Stevenson.

He will end up with 6

[WASurfer]

Can't believe the injury run this season.....will be a miracle win from here.
