AFL Rd 23: Carlton vs Gold Coast at Gold Coast
We haven’t traditionally played well on the Gold Coast, so winning is a positive. Winning from so far behind is a huge positive. Getting so far behind was not so good.
Team: B
Votes:
[2.5] Charlie Curnow
[1.5] George Hewett
[1.5] Nic Newman
[1.5] Jacob Weitering
[1] Sam Docherty
[1] Zac Fisher
[1] Blake Acres
[1] Paddy Dow
[1] Jack Martin
[1] Jesse Motlop
[0.5] Adam Saad
[0.5] Brodie Kemp
[0.5] Patrick Cripps
[0.5] Ed Curnow
Explanations:
[2.5] Charlie Curnow: Probably the difference between winning and losing. He changed the game.
[1.5] George Hewett: A strong game from George; 23 possessions, 10 tackles and 4 clearances.
[1.5] Nic Newman: Another great game in defence. 31 possessions from the back half!
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: Dominated his position and provided drive from defence.
[1] Sam Docherty: Another typical Doc game. He keeps getting the pill and putting his body on the line.
[1] Zac Fisher: Another solid game from Fisher in defence.
[1] Blake Acres: Probably deserves more than 1 vote, but he is brilliant early and tends to drift out of the game.
[1] Paddy Dow: Very solid, especially after a slow start.
[1] Jack Martin: Could have had 4 or 5. Showed it meant something.
[1] Jesse Motlop: Exciting.
[0.5] Adam Saad: Solid in defence and setting up forward thrusts.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: A very solid game in defence.
[0.5] Patrick Cripps: Clearly injured, although he had half of his possessions in the first quarter. 8 tackles and 3 clearances shows his metal.
[0.5] Ed Curnow: 7 possessions in the last quarter was pretty good.
Honourable Mentions:
Matt Owies: Not a lot of the ball, but a couple of crucial goals and some good defensive effort.
Harry McKay: A bit rusty, but worked into the game.
Alex Cincotta: Solid across half back again.
