2018 Rd 2: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[Shakin77]

No, as MBB pointed out, we also dropped SOSOS.

Weitering played as an extra witches hat. Who was down back for the large portions of the game. So we were short up forward no matter which way you slice it.

Not sure why we need to point this out. It's obvious to all. We had too many tall defenders....and not enough tall forwards / rucks.

I like Jack.  Nice kid and has a crack but is too under sized to be in the same conversation as McKay.    He is a classic tweener at the moment.  Really needs a massive tank or he is going to struggle for a role at AFL level.  Some talk that he may become an inside mid, but lets kid ourselves and pretend he is a key forward.  Seems obvious to all   Other than me that is.

We could also talk about how Weitering played forward for most of the first 3 quarters kicking a goal in the 3rd, before Jones went into the ruck Levi forward and Weitering back.

We weren't short up forward.  We had at least 2 tall fowards in Curnow/Weitering or Levi.  Very few side are rocking more than 2 tall forwards.
 
I have said that we needed a ruckman, but options a to f where either shite or injured.

Given how we played McKay would have added very little up forward.
