Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle)

[shadesy]

With Whiley, compare his play in the magoos to his first team efforts and the difference seems to be confidence.

In the magoos he's aggressive and takes more responsibility, in the ones he's just second guessing himself ATM. Not really attacking the football. But he's improving quickly.

My fave from yesterday was Boek. He'll never be a collision football mega star, but he does some things you can't teach or defend.

If the cap goes to 80 rotations next year and he gets a bigger tank, look the screw out!!

Hmm i haven't committed either way with BB apart from thinking we probably could have nabbed him a bit later than pick 21, but he certainly has some tricks and twice he competed 1 on 1 Against Mcdonald when for some reason we kicked to him one out in the goal square and broke even. Allowed Cripps to Goal from the resulting stoppage.

The 80m run hopefully showed him, when he is tired he just has to keep going, and he backed himself and even took a bounce before a very sensible kick even though his legs were screaming. Little things like that can help a player grow.
