Apparently, the fastest Carlton players against North were Young and Honey with speeds of 33km/h and 32 km/h and change respectively. Of course, it isn’t clear that every player was wearing a GPS tracker. And this is just a maximum speed stat. A midfielder perhaps would concentrate more on gut running rather than flat out sprinting while a full back would need to hit maximum speed to close the gap on a leading forward. But it does suggest I should reappraise Lewis Young. My thumbnail sketch of him has been that he’s tall and a good mark but he isn’t all that mobile compared with someone like Liam Jones. But maybe he is just as nimble. I guess that raises the question of their comparative accelerations from a standing start, and that goes beyond a maximum speed stat.
100% Mav, Lewis clocked a max speed of 33.3km/h according to the Telstra tracker on the AFL mobile app. Pretty quick for a 200cm KPD.

Fogarty is another one who reminds me of Zurhaar who puffs out his chest and wants to be the tough guy, as I said we need players who are prepared to meet these fockers head on and put them in their place for now and the future.
The best punishments for these types is at the end of the game being on the losing team.

Whilst at the same time sporting a few scars and bruises. ?

I tend not to forget humiliations EB, and that game certainly was one for us.

I once experienced the circling stars and birdsong in one rugby game I played back in the day. Copped the knee of a very lanky winger right on the point of the jaw. Didn't recover properly all day. I was told it was accidental but it didn't make me feel any better.

Adelaide looking pretty good against Freo. They have one less day to recover than us, but also don't have to travel. I reckon they are starting to build belief, and this will be a big test for our boys.

They look OK.
This won't be easy...and our best chance is if the players go in with that attitude.
