Actually no it wasn't. Better than the last two, if Buckley and Krooz took their chances then it could have been interesting.

Plenty to like in sumner, lamb, plow, weiters, doc.

Would kill for Tomlinson. We'd possibly have won two by now
I'll swim against the tide here and say that Phillips will make the grade, don't forget he's played under 20 games and for a ruckman he's only a baby.
There's a long way to go but if we work hard and make good decisions we'll get there.
Docherty our best tonight I reckon, he's a jet.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Gutsy call. I like it.

You can have that but Phillips probably played the better game than Kreuzer tonight.

Kreuzer had 11 touches, only 2 were to our advantage (DE 18%!)
Phillips only had 6 touches, but 4 were to our advantage (DE 67%)

Kreuzer missed 2 shots, only scored 1 behind
Phillips had 1 shot and kicked it.

Phillips had more tackles, contested marks and 1%ers and had less clangers 1 to 4 by kreuzer.
They had the same amount of marks and tackles.
Kreuzer won hitouts 24 to phillips 21 and had 1 clearance and 2 I50's to Phillips none.

Both have a lot of work to do.
1 was a former #1 pick.
The other is a bloke thrown in from a package deal.

Don't sell Phillips short.

While i was getting some stats, you must have read my mind. Wink

In addition, Philips took contested marks

Phillips did get better as the game went on.

Let Casboult takes Rowe's spot in defence, Jaksch and Jones in, Wood in for Kreuzer.  Wood generally gives you something for his ability. Kreuzer is just terrible right now.

Rowe is awful right now.

I did write that in the post. Wink

@jimbo
Let Jaksch take rowes spot in defense. Put Jones up forward with Casboult. Keep Phillips and Kreuzer for another week.
