Post Game Permutation: AFL Rd 12: Carlton vs Fremantle

[ElwoodBlues1]

You’re right EB, the conditions were very poor for most of the game and I imagine that Teague’s instructions would have been to gain territory with every disposal.  Most of our players were hacking the ball forward during periods of heavy rain and there were turnovers as a result.  That’s OK if we can then set up defensively and we were able to do that quite well most of the time. 

While it wasn’t a great spectacle, I still found it to be an entertaining game between two fairly evenly matched teams, even if inexplicable umpiring decisions (and non-decisions) gave Fremantle a leg up.  The down the ground free to Newnes was one occasion when an umpire got it right 

Despite the commentators drooling over Freo’s midfield, it was Curnow, Cripps, Murphy and Walsh that got on top and set up the win.  Plowman’s work on Fyffe was critical too.

Darcy kept drooling over Luke Ryan to the point of being vomit material, ditto with Cerra......agree on our mids doing the hard yards better although Longmuir taking Fyfe out of the midfield and having him freeze down forward helped as well..
