AFL Rd 14 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Richmond

[laj]

Cant have goaless qtrs and expect to wim.
Cant play dry weather footy when its pissing down.
All things considering, the defence was good.
H eventually played virtually played a lone hand up fwd, smalls were non existent.

Teague was in the opposing box. We thought we'd make him feel right at home with a zero to 6 goal first 45 minutes.

I recall one tackle that we stuck. Which we were t rewarded for.  But no others.

Great to see some lower lights shining. Hats off to Boyd, tall Durdin, Young, LoB to name a few.

To name a couple more - Cottrell and Newnes

I agree that Boyd was very good and that Sam Durdin played his part.

IMO, the video umpire was influenced by a concerted campaign by the Richmond players to claim it was touched, including signalling touched to the bench and refusing to set up for the bounce. The video umpire obviously decided that they because they were so adamant, it must have been touched and he would be hammered if he didn’t overturn it.

Interesting take. Reminds me of the West Indies bowlers in the 80’s. They all go up in appeal and run off to the change rooms. Umpire thinks, “oh well, must be out. Game over lads.”

The score review process has improved but that incident shows it still needs refining.

There was no discernible touch on the ball so I’m not sure how they called it a point.

Disappointed but we didn't play that badly I thought. Richmond played the kamikazee style from the get go and it seemed to me we were slow to react. Seriously some of their hacks forward just found blokes just sitting there. Is that skill or luck? Not unhappy with our form just disappointed. Think we can beat Freo next week under the roof.
Postscript: Boyd seems seems to be travelling ok at the moment. Maybe early impressions were premature?

Very poor start. Fumbles, overuse, and getting late to contests. When H got his mojo, I thought we were a chance against the odds. Our mids did well to take back the CPs.

The 2 touched calls and some bs umping calls put it out of reach.

TDK is thriving beyond my expectations. Saad played well for a guy who had his eye poked out.

Doc is the definition of courage.
Doc is the definition of commitment.

Disappointing result but buoyed by the performance. Especially after half time. We're almost there.....finally

Our Injuries. Well that's the definition of cruelty. Well wishes to the half of the squad in recovery mode.

Great summation

Kennedy had 0 also. They had 4 with zero, so did we, you get that in games. I thought LOB was pretty good int he conditions.

[Gointocarlton]

Seems like the first time in ages (I may be wrong) that we have lost the I50 count, convincingly I might add at 76 to 51. We can pick out umpiring calls if we like but with those sorts of numbers and a goaless 1 qtr and a bit, we were lucky to only lose by 15.

Hack kicks fwd go to the man in front more often than not and they exploited this tactic all night long. Sure some were assy but they kept doing it. I just found it extremely frustrating watching us play in the wet like we did.
