VFL Rd 3 2022 Carlton vs Gold Coast Suns

[LoveNavy]

Cotterell did has chances for a call up no harm. Sealed it in q4 with 2 goals I think

Stocker looked very comfortable. His stats a bit skewed due to kick in duties against a team unable to kick straight today.

[LoveNavy]

After being challenged in q3, 5.5 in q4 is a convincing result. Hope our seniors can do that when the pressure mounts late in games

[Baggers]

Really like Xavier M.'s game. Certainly putting his hand up for that mid year spot on our list.
Stocker a stand-out as well.
Dow dominant but still something missing in his game. Looks like he's inured or managed as he didn't play the final qtr.
Mirkov coming along nicely, but still needs plenty of Magoos' time. Impressed with is his disposal by hand and foot.
Cottrell was good until the final qtr, when he was brilliant!
Newnes gets plenty of the aggot but decisions and disposal are only okay.
Love how the seconds game is so consistent with the firsts.
Parks is close. Great attitude and second efforts. Disposal by foot needs work.
Good to see JGM getting amongst it. Good seconds player 
Crocker has adjusted to the new game plan nicely. Robbed of a late goal by JGM's fumble on the goal line.

Great effort from the boys. Top of the VFL table at the moment.
Looking forward to getting along to a seconds game soon... Up for a pie fest Ye Rat O' The River?

Dow: 23 possessions and 7 clearances and didn't play the full game.
Cottrell: 20 Possessions and 2 goals.
Newnes: 28 possessions

All good signs, but it was the VFL boys who really stood up today:
David Handley: 25 possessions, 5 tackles and 5 clearances: his first game for the year.
Zavier Maher: 28 possessions, 6 tackles and 3 clearances
Joel Trudgeon: 25 possessions, 5 tackles and 5 clearances
Cooper Stephens: 24 possessions
Ned Cahill: 20 possessions and 6 tackles
Ben Crocker: 20 possessions and 4 goals
This is very good!

Dow for Crippa next week...

Dow for Crippa next week...

Very probably. Wonder if he can reproduce his VFL form?

I know Mirkov is very raw, but if Pittonet misses again, we should strongly consider playing Mirkov. He might not be the answer yet, but he doesn't get shorter as the game goes on. Not many 6 foot 10 inch players can move or jump like he can.

Tend to agree Crash. Silvagni relieving in the ruck just doesn't fill me with confidence and to tell you the truth it seemed to impact his game today. Great game last week and putrid today.

Silvagni did better than expected.
IMO TDK did worse.
He looked out on his feet. He blew up. He hasn't had to cover that much ground in a long time and he struggled.
I'd be more hopeful of Omac or Gov coming back and trying Young in there before going all in on Mirkov

[WASurfer]

Silvagni busted his @rse again but it robbed us of his forward half pressure IMO.

I'm surprised Young wasn't given a run in the ruck in the second half. When Chol went into the ruck he could've gone with him.....Witts usually goes off the ground anyway.

[cookie2]

Yep, imo it was a waste and a mistake to put SOS into the ruck. We really missed him forward. We also had Kennedy tagging which he is not suited to and robbed us of ball winning ability.
