2018 Rd 10: Post Game Insanity: Carlton vs Geelong

[Thryleon]

Are you basing this on stats?

There were only 19 contested marks for the whole game, 12/7 split, only 10 marks inside F50 for the whole game, they took 8 of them which is not much at all.

Geelong average 10/11 marks inside 50 per game, we average 8 per game.

The marking targets on both sides had very poor nights which suggests defenders were on top, watching the game I'd have to say disposal from both teams was very bad.

Im basing this on Hawkins taking marks on the goal line whilst our players had taken it for granted the mark would go sailing through.

Stewart was no good?.....???? I must have watched a different game....... :o

Their talls won them the game?...they had Stanley who was beaten by Kruezer, a semi tall in Crameri who did nothing and I''l give you a tick for Hawkins who kicked 3 goals...and their other tall got a broken ankle or close to it....

I thought their mids with Dangerfield, Duncan, Menegola won them the game along with Stewart and Henry intercepting most of our entries......we locked up Selwood and Ablett ok but weight of numbers won in the end even though a banged up Cripps fought on bravely.....

Stewart turned it over a lot.

The commentary team did acknowledge he got a lot of ball, but he didn't set them up from half back, and quite a few of his kicks resulted in another contest.

Their mids did turn the game, but Danger did it when he drifted forward.  Hawkins stitched us up quite a bit and if not for the umpires paying quite a few blocks against him, and his teammates he would have kicked a lot more.
