Three weeks in a row we have had to face a team that have come off a bad loss and were ready to play. Bulldogs and the Giants are good teams and while we didn't beat them we had our opportunities. North had been given a free ride with draft picks, something we weren't gifted, and they have some very good players. Big Durdin was injured early but was able to play out the game well. TDK was injured but when he got on top we were able to find another gear. Cerra and Kennedy spent time down back. I don't mind Kennedy in the backline and besides one soft free kick he shut down his opponent. I am a bit more doubtful about Cerra but he did take a number of intercept marks. I like it when our small forwards kick goals. Fogarty has started to get a few and Cincotta looks dangerous while Owies is having a good season. I wouldn't mind finding a spot for Martin. Walsh, Acres and TDK looked sore and I wouldn't mind bringing in Pittonett, Kemp or McGovern, and Binns for them.
There is an awful lot of Carlton rethoric out there at the moment. A team like Brisbane gets a free pass by beating Sydney when they are playing well, Sydney is off the boil, playing at home, Sydney lose three players and after leading by five goals, fall across the line. You want to be playing your best football in September and not in July.
