Practice Match: Blues v Pies, Fri 24 Feb

[Baggers]

Some things don't change. Carlton taking their foot off the gas.

Yep, although a practice match that looks all too similar... 6 unanswered goals from Rottingwood is just not good enough.

Yes, old habits die hard. We got back on top in general play after that but that other old habit of point kicking when behind kicked in.

Half time, that's enough, put away:
Cripps
Charlie
H
Weiters
Doc
Saad
TDK
Cezz
George
Bam Bam

Goal kicking, just can't miss shots 30/40 out in front!

I’m not sure how much you can extrapolate from  team selection for an unofficial practice match.  Selection in one or both squads may depend more on where players are at with their fitness and training loads than on whether they’re pencilled in for Round 1.

The team selected for the practice match against the Swans should be closer to the mark, but I wouldn’t rule out an unexpected selection or two for Round 1.

A lot will depend on whether “automatic” selections like Martin, MGovern and Pittonet get up.

Kemp not listed anywhere?

For an insight into who the coaches have as 1's players...

Here is the 17 players playing 1's only
and 7 players playing both (which you'd think makes them fighting for a spot)

HB - Saad - Young - Docherty
C - Acres - Cripps - O'Brien
HF - Fisher - C. Curnow - Kennedy
FF - Silvagni - McKay - Motlop
R - De Koning - Cerra - Hewitt
INT - E. Curnow - Cowan - Honey - Hollands - Cincotta - Mirkov

Players not playing in either...
Walsh
McGovern
Marchbank
Martin
Cuningham
Owies
C. Durdin
Fogarty
Boyd
Cottrell
Lemmey

Kemp???

[laj]

Finally a goal after complete dominance and lots of points. Getting it into an open forward line now. Kicking with a decent wind too.

Should be at least 4 up. Shocking kicking in front of goal!!

[laj]

Kicked 5.6 without reply. Much easier kicking goals at the Lygon St end but importantly, we are dominating all over the ground.

Hewett and Kennedy are showing what we missed in the last 2 games☹️☹️☹️
