ESSENDON 5.1 5.1 8.2 8.4 (52)
CARLTON 2.5 7.12 11.15 14.17 (101)
GOALS: Crocker 3, Wooller 3, Caluzzi 2, Honey 2, De Koning, Durdin, O’Brien, Setterfield
BESTS: Setterfield, Crocker, Newman, O’Brien, De Koning, Caluzzi
Setters was hopeless early, but really upped his game and had a lot of tackles. And he looked like he wanted to tackle. I was happy with that.
Crocker was indomitable. He so dominated that it wasn't funny. He could well have had 8 goals. he had 7 marks in the forward 50 and at least 13 marks overall. He took the Essendon defence and wiped the floor with them.
Honey didn't get huge numbers, but he really attacked nicely. His attack on the ball and the opposition player was excellent.
Kennedy was very good early, but he was barely on in the 2nd half and not at all in the last quarter.
Durdin did some nice things, but just not enough of them. His disposal was nice and he negative side.
Lachie O'Brien ... didn't do enough. He is gone.
I was disappointed in Ramsey for the 2nd week in a row. Just not getting enough of the ball at this point.
Wooller was not as impressive this week: he spent no time on the ball, as we had other ruck options. He did take some nice marks, though.
Radovanovich was solid again, although not as prominent. He doesn't get beaten very often.
One lad who played his best game for us so far was Cooper Stephens. The lad did a really solid job and really moves and kicks like Nick Duigan.
Basically, we had a real team effort with everyone making a contribution. Essendon had 2 or 3 ball getters and rest did nothing.
