Win ls a win but that was less than convincing against a team thats won 2 games. Dont want to comment, just move on as nothing can be gained from that game. Need Gov back ASAP.
A lazy performance overall.

Also spoke about our back 6, and said the reason why Kemp gets dropped is because of errors and brain fades in his game. He said that 90% of his game is good, but the 10% that isn't good is costly. Murphy talking about being a defensive mid lol.

Young has to be in the frame, but he certainly isn't setting the world on fire in the 2's.
Do we promote Kemp on his game? It was certainly a good one. But who did he play against? Has he learnt from his blunders? Do we play him up forward if H doesn't come up?
Sorry, completely disagree, Durdin should never play in the senior team ever again, he had no idea where the ball was nor his opponent, it was embarrassing.
If Weitering goes down we are finished, the dearth of quality key defenders at the club is so serious now that it must be the number 1 priority to be addressed in the upcoming off-season.

Yes, Durdin was OK for his first game in quite a while. He was a bit rusty but his ball use is good and he kept his opponents quiet. We missed Kemp's spoiling and intercepts but not the errors that have crept into his game. He probably did enough in the Magoos to earn a recall but I don't know what aspects of his game Vossy wants improved. If Kemp does come back, it shouldn't be at Durdin's expense.
North tried to exploit our lack of height in defence with Larkey, Teakle and Comben starting forward and Xerri adding more height but our defence stood up well. Charlie's intervention was timely and capped off a pretty good game - nine marks, four goals and three intercepts.

Spot on - he also plays the short game better than most by making position for the short pass and then kicking it well to advantage - several of his kicks into the forward line showed exceptional touch.

I thought North were very good. They didn't play like a bottom team.
Last week Sydney flogged them in Sydney but before that they have been competitive.
They beat the Suns and Eagles (away)
Lost by under a goal to Melbourne and Collingwood.
Lost by 17 to the Dogs.

We have a nasty habit of struggling in games we should win easily. I think the club psychologists need to go to work on that. We are very quick to go into 'cruise' mode, and let teams bang on 4-5 in a rush and get momentum (like the 2nd quarter yesterday).
Someone needs to find the collective ruthless nerve and give it a good kick.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
