2018 Rd 9: Post Game Calm: Carlton vs Melbourne

[LoveNavy]

A few harsh on SPS. 22 possessions, was actually throwing himself into the packs, 6 tackles. A significant improvement on recent efforts IMO.......after 28 career games.

I agree and said as much in the game thread.
He went in hard today compared to previous games. His vision, decision making, and handballling was improved. There were a couple of times this resulted in getting it out of congestion to a teammate in the clear. It fell apart then as we were outnumbered or outmuscled.

I think Samo is building slowly, which is all you can ask for of a 2nd year player. Little Zac has been the more steady improved this year. Today though, he struggled to find any consistency. More a symptom of the team IMO. Young 1, 2, 3 year players will have poor performances every few games. Our problem is we can't cover for all the youngsters in a game, let alone game after game. Some of that is the flow on effect of so many injuries.
