2019 AFL Rd 1: Carlton vs Richmond at the MCG: Post Game Passion

[PaulP]

I don't think we have the foot skills for the free-wheeling game style, which probably means we are even more likely to lose shoot-outs.

What did you think of Plowman's first game back from long term injury, I thought his lack of pace was showed up last night? To me it's a big concern in the absence of Docherty because none of the replacements are real quick as such!

I would have thought that foot skills are more critical in the Clarkson "precision passing" style ? IMO, you need less skill playing chaos footy like Richmond.

I'm one of the few on here who is a Plowman fan. He looked a little rusty, but he's a good player IMO. But I would give him and all our slow defenders the same advice - do not, under any circumstances, allow your opponent goal side, because once our defenders get caught in the wrong spot for whatever reason, they simply can't run their opponent down.
