Pre-Game Possibilities: AFL Rd 7: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Thryleon]

I don't really understand the role he is supposed to [or can] play now that we have Walsh in the team? Walsh and Murphy have played on the wings for most games, and it often seems like he is no mans land with his positioning in general play. I wonder how much of that is coaching and not understanding what his role is?

He probably played his most important game when we played the Dogs and he had a run with role [with Murphy from memory] on Hunter. He did a good disciplined job and Hunter had very limited influence. I can't for the life work out why we didn't get him to follow that good performance up last week with a similar role on O'Meara [or Wingard / Shiels].

I would give him a job this week on either Higgins or Polec. He's not a big possession winner so if he can hold those guys to less than 20 and get 10 himself that is a big win for us imo.

Was he even that good on hunter?

We really got a hold of them and they weren't able to stop our talls.

Hunter got it 18 instead of his average 28 odd.  O brien touched it 7 times.

If we had another player getting 25+ and hunter got his 28 odd, we'd have actually been further ahead on the stats sheet.
