Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne

[ElwoodBlues1]

Not sure if this is been mentioned yet in the thread but i just heard that Teague in his after match presser said matched up Cunningham to play as a defensive forward on 1.95cm Lever as he said he thought Cunningham could match him in the air.

So in already light midfield he takes one of our main runners in Cunningham out and thinks its a good idea to use him defensively.

Then he said when he went down they decided to use Owies. Have you ever heard of such stupidity. 

I'm really starting to wonder if Teague is the man we need at the moment.

I did hear that and thought it was a very strange move, no way could Cuningham match Lever in the air and Owies would have no hope either and I remember Lever taking a mark or two easily over Owies.
I would have shifted Parks onto Lever who was having a shocker down back and just told him  to spoil and take Lever out of the play and try and get a win from a loss in that matchup.
