JLT 2018: Carlton vs St Kilda at Ikon on Wednesday

[DJC]

Daisy was brilliant early.

He did some questionable things later, but....

Eddie Maguire spoke on triple m this morning about the lights at Ikon Park. He said they were terrible in our game, and terrible in his game. He said he spoke to a senior player who played in our game (didn't say which team) about the lights and unnamed player said it was very bad. A couple of times "players came out of nowhere" and you couldn't see the pick up the ball well enough to judge it sometimes.

Which senior player do you reckon Eddie Maguire just happened to have a chat too? My money is on Daisy as i'd doubt he'd have the number of many others...and truth be told, we don't even have many senior players on our list....nor the saints.

So....perhaps some of the silly things that Daisy and the others did on the night (and Curnofides springs to mind as well) were because players came out of the shadows and surprised them.

Either way, he suggested that the ground is unsafe for night footy, and at least partly that is because of the local residents, and something needs to be done because its a health and safety risk.

Might also explain Dow losing his teeth.

I don’t think so.

Dow lost his tooth because his mouth guard was in his sock.

Reverse torpedoes off the outside of the boot aren’t the most obvious way to compensate for poor lighting  :

Other players coped OK and our disposal efficiency was generally very good.
