As a Liverpool supporter, today was the tale of two games.
I was much happier with the way Liverpool played because the goal was against the grain and it took a massive goalkeeping performance to win the game for the opposition, and it was disappointing because you can't win games without scoring.
Carlton never really looked like winning that match. It was as bad a 4 quarter performance as I've seen with lots of getting caught playing on, kicking into the man on the mark which is basically unforgivable given the stand rule, and a bit of just never really getting going, yet somehow we almost willed our way to 4 points. Jacks kick was 1 metre left at the end and we win despite how badly we missed the ball at times and fluffed about with it in the corridor.
For the first time all year it looked like the players lost belief after weitering broke down. Collingwood did their homework. They saw what hawthorn did and started with that rather than vice versa, and the absence of weitering made that compound.
Dow. Plucky performance and pleased with his application but playing him means cripps has to play less midfield minutes and we ultimately lose out for it. Kennedy is much more versatile and frankly a better player at this stage. Was pleased to see dow putting on size and he showed what he can be capable but its not enough.
