AFL Rd 19 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs GWS

[Baggers]

Yes, it's easy to remember the odd shank, they stand out when on average you are above average.

I mentioned earlier this season, when fans were discussing the desire to see Jones return, we haven't missed his disposal, as much as we miss Jones significant mark and intercept ability, our D50 improvement is partially due to the reduced numbers of clangers and better  / tougher selection of targets on the way out.

Weitering and McGovern together are a class above, they pick out targets at range, sometimes it will go wrong but it will also open the opposition right up on many occasions. And if Marchbank comes back, who is another elite kick, we could be in for a hell of a ride at the back end of the season! They will force opponents to cover a wider area because they hit targets at +50m.

I'd also love to see Stocker back in that mix, with perhaps Williams, Doc and Saad operating as the run, Plowman and Newman off the bench. We might find we need Doc and Williams to take midfield rotations but even then we can't fit them all in.

Can't fit em all in, there isn't a lot of weakness in that list of players, how long since we could write that!

You'll find that I didn't make any comment about the Jones 'loss.' His enormous up side was amply counterbalanced by his ability to hand the aggott back to the opposition. Blokes who cannot be relied upon by foot in this side (Setters?) stand out like dogs dusters.
