2018 Rd 22: Post Game Intelligent Discussion: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Thryleon]

At the game, it seemed that the ball was down their end for most of it, and it came out of our forward 50 pretty easily and quickly.  It was great to see how we celebrated TDK's goal.

There is no way that Bont should have got a free kick.  The umpire guessed and gave Jong a 50.  That killed the slim chance that we had.

Also excellent to see the peanut that threw the bottle onto the ground escorted out quickly - well done to everyone around him to point him out.

Endeavour was good.  We continue to make skill errors when transferring across the ground that bite us.  Cleaner there and we would improve straight away (players up the ground have a chance to get the ball, we don't waste time and energy trying to fix mistakes and have to fight to get the ball again).

We have a Kerridge Kunundrum.  He is a good size and can get the ball for us (needed attibutes), but unfortunately, it doesn't stay with us for long (don't need these attributes).  If he was able to improve his efficiency by a lot, he would be good.

Disposal efficiency is great and all, but we don't necessarily need them all to hit targets.

Kerridge's issue is that he selects the wrong ones and then he misses it to boot.

I'll take a bloke that runs at 75+ de and selects excellent options ahead of a bloke that can hit lasers and kicks it to the wrong players in the wrong positions killing momentum.

Kerridge is poor at both and is out come end of year.
