AFL Rd 18: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs
What a letdown. Things didn’t work for us today, while after quarter time, everything worked for the Dogs. Lack of poise, and terrible forward play cost us.
Team: C+
I couldn’t give us more on that effort, even though we only lost by 14 ponts.
Votes:
Hard work tonight.
[4] Patrick Cripps
[2] Blake Acres
[1.5] Charlie Curnow
[1] Nic Newman
[1] Alex Cincotta
[1] Elojah Hollands
[1] Jacob Weitering
[1] Tom de Koning
[1] Adam Saad
[0.5] Sam Walsh
[0.5] Brodie Kemp
[0.5] Harry McKay
Explanations:
[4] Patrick Cripps: Quiet early, but after half time he was a demigod! Did everything in his power to get us over the line.
[2] Blake Acres: A real 4 quarter effort with some great highlights.
[1.5] Charlie Curnow: Could have had 10 goals; if he’d kicked 7 goals three, instead of 3 goals 7, we would have won. Still nowhere near his best, but …
[1] Nic Newman: Came into the game. A typical Newman game.
[1] Alex Cincotta: Did a good job on Bontempelli, who only got possessions when he was off Cincotta.
[1] Elijah Hollands: Some really nice things from Elijah.
[1] Jacob Weitering: Ruled the air in defence, but struggled when the ball was on the ground.
[1] Tom de Koning: Much better after half time. His first half was ordinary.
[1] Adam Saad: Ran himself into pressure sometimes, but he did a job on his opponent.
[0.5] Sam Walsh: Never have 27 Sam Walsh possessions been so ineffective.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: Tried hard and took some nice marks.
[0.5] Harry McKay: First quarter and a bit he was BOG, but had 2 possessions in the last half.
Honourable Mentions:
Matthew Owies: Like H, he started brilliantly, but dropped totally out of the game after quarter time.
Lachie Cowan: Did a decent job and showed more poise than many of his teammates.
