Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle)

[IvanAwfulbigone]

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.

This.  This is IT.  So many of our problems stem from lack of run and accountability*.  Legs screaming from lactic acid build up? Want a breather but still need to run and chase?  :'( :'( :'(

Too many Navy Princesses over the last 10 years think this is unusual.  The top teams know this is the norm.  Forget about Colorado.  Send them down to the Portsea sand dunes and get them to run up and down till they puke. Then get them to do it faster, carrying weights, backwards.

* That and a serious lack of skill. But that's another story.
