AFL Rd 9 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs GWS

[RiverRat]

worst commentary by along way

Nah - just par for the course with the blokey nickname crew

Useful debut by Motlop but I hoped he might have had more quickness to offer.

[RiverRat]

Still heavily dependent on scoring from dynamic centre clearances but we have progressively developed a slower ball movement capability that enables the team to conserve energy and pace itself better.  Hopefully that will reduce the likelihood of second half fade outs

Looked calm in traffic though, and appears to see the game unfold pretty well, wasn't afraid to sell some candy, found time and space.

Only concern I had was he could be seen hanging back not chasing a couple of times when the ball got turned over. They need to work on that early so it doesn't become a habit, on one occasion I saw either Durdin or Fisher run right past him to pressure an opponent. That should have triggered Motlop to react but he just kept jogging.

Just a kid though, so he needs time to grow the good habits.

I'm 184cm and around 80kg....Mirkov is 210cm and 104kg,  from where I'm looking up thats a decent size human.

im 178 and 100kg.  He looked skinny as Robert Warnock.

Intensity/work-rate. Discipline. No passengers.

Bravo all players. Bravo Vossy and your coaching group.

Looks to have awareness but lacks a yard and needs some running/conditioning work..

Might be a bit like a Cyril, though - doesn't need to touch it much, but lots of X factor and tackling intensity.

Agreed, it seems to stand out.

Maybe, but I think Rioli created his own luck by being one of the hardest workers in the team, he'd chase and harass opposition all day long, much like Betts and it may be that Betts was even better at it without getting the same degree of media qudos as Rioli.

We are only just starting to see this behaviour from our small forwards, Durdin, Owies, Fisher, etc., etc., it has started to click, let's hope it clicks for Motlop as well!
