AFL Rd 13: Carlton vs Melbourne
Not good enough again.
Rating: C-
Patches were good. Our defence was excellent. But our forward play … I really hate writing this, but it is the way we’ve played this year.
Votes:
[2.5] Adam Cerra
[2] Patrick Cripps
[2] Sam Docherty
[2] Harry McKay
[2] Jacob Weitering
[1.5] Adam Saad
[1] Brodie Kemp
[1] Mitch McGovern
[0.5] Matthew Kennedy
[0.5] Tom de Koning
Explanation:
I was really struggling to give votes this week. And not for the first time this year either.
[2.5] Adam Cerra: Probably our best player on the night, he didn’t Hurt Melbourne enough to really stand out.
[2] Patrick Cripps: Not enough, but Crippa really did try his guts out.
[2] Sam Docherty: Pretty effective. Gave us some drive.
[2] Harry McKay: Totally dominated. We just couldn’t get the ball near him often enough.
[2] Jacob Weitering: Not quite as good as last week, but still showed a marked improvement in form and in decision making.
[1.5] Adam Saad: A great defensive job.
[1] Brodie Kemp: Pretty good on the night. Took some nice marks.
[1] Mitch McGovern: Awful early, McGovern really lifted and did his job.
[0.5] Matthew Kennedy: Tried hard.
[0.5] Tom de Koning: One of Tom’s better ruck displays, especially against 2 class opponents.
Honourable Mentions:
Blake Acres: Not bad, but his foot skills didn’t hurt Melbourne enough to get a vote.
Alex Cincotta: Did a good negative job, but didn’t provide the drive he can produce.
Not good enough again.
