AFL Practice Match 2021 Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[ElwoodBlues1]

Agree with most of what has been written before, however I do worry about the impact, aggressiveness, intensity and/or ground speed of all of Plowman, Curnow, Setterfield, SPS & from time to time Murphy. It's probably unfair to focus on this subset of players, but we do need to increase our intensity, ball  velocity & probably foot speed to trouble the better clubs.

Josh Honey stood out as a player with the tools to add another weapon to the Blues arsenal, however I haven't heard much about him this pre-season. Any update on how he is developing?

Agree on those thoughts, Tigers will be a good test, they are looking like they will be a bit under manned so I reckon this is about our best chance in years to nail them. They are are a quick rebounding team with foot speed, muscle and will be a test for all those players you mentioned. We should be quicker than last season, intensity and vigor will need to improve though as we often lose games in a quarter where we get blown off the park and its usually because we dont bring enough aggression at the contest and cant change the momentum back. Its fine having pace and skill but you have to be able to get the ball when its hot and do the game changing stuff that turns the game, not sure if we have enough of those types....
