2017 Rd 8: After Game Analysis: Carlton vs St Kilda

[crashlander]

Carlton vs the 'Aints at Etihad. I would have much preferred the MCG: it suits our team.

Get the feeling out of your system here.

Well at least we fought it out until the end.

I expected to lose and probably by a fair bit more than we did. Not too unhappy really.

Gallant. Fisher makes a better fist of it in the last qtr and that game would have been interesting. Aints dont like it hard thats for sure. Like it on the outside and bruise free.
Wright and Weiters were very quiet.

We were beaten fair and square by a better side but you can't complain about our desire, the Saints are a pretty good outfit so it wasn't a bad effort to push them.

I think the failure to rest Weitering who is obviously sore/injured, and premature return of Fisher who probably should have come back via the NBs, has cost us that game!

Glad to.  Feck you Umpire #1. FECK you. FECK YOU TO HELL AND BACK.

I thought the days of us being the easy targets and pushovers because it's "only Carlton" were over. Obviously not.  St Kilda are an up and coming side, didn't you know.  Plus, they have more man-buns than any other AFL team.

Sheesh, a blatant throw in our goal square is not rewarded and then ... the ball drifts down to the wing where Umpire #1 is lurking, crouching like a hidden tiger, waiting to spring into action and finally rid himself of all the wrongs that have ever been done to him in his insignificant little life ... and then he sees his chance - for a few seconds he can be someone, anyone.  Finally, his parents can be proud of him. Feck you Umpire #1.

Fair call.

Don't worry about fisher, weiters or wright. Casboult was putrid, pushed around and looked completely lost.

If the game was at the mcg or if we just didn't have the brain spasm at stoppages in the third quarter we probably win. Fisher could have made it really interesting but the kid just took the wrong option but still really impressed me in patches and looks a player.

Great effort by the boys and despite being a loss still definitely moving in the right direction. Saints are good side and should be a finals team, they are not up and coming and their best players are in their prime or past it this is what they are.

We controlled more of the game against a finals team and could have pinched it. Great game asos again, it's funny since his come in the team has been much more confident an aggressive, his attitude and grit is contagous. Weitering a slight worry hopefully he is carrying something and not struggling as a proper key position player.

Good effort. Just lacking some polish, but class is there.

Fisher needs another pre season before being considered again or tears VFL apart.

Cunners has to be due soon.
