NAB Challenge - Carlton v Hawthorn @ Aurora Stadium

[flyboy77]

Didn't expect to get anywhere near Hawthorn with the team we had on the park, so was happy we weren't blown away.
- Levi took some strong clunks and attacked the footy well, but also dropped some sitters too.
- The delivery inside 50 was pretty poor at times, as were our skills.-
- Our disposal efficiency and general competitiveness dropped off in the 2nd half, which p*ssed me off at the time, but since finding out we  purposely had only half the interchange rotations that Hawthorn did,  you can excuse some of this.
- Kerridge will be a steal. Put Cripps, Murphy and the outside silk of Cunningham alongside Kerridge, Gibbs, and Graham, and we ll be pretty competitive in the midfield all year.
- Put Plowman and Weitering in the backline instead of list cloggers like Dick, and we l instantly improve in that area too.


No need to go full tilt and risk injury in a meaningless practice match. Many Hawks players like Hodge weren't going full tilt either, but nobody is making accusations against them.

Put Walker inside F50 and things will improve considerably. He's a bloody hard match up and goes all day.

Forward line something like:

HF    Thomas/C. Curnow    Jaksch/Gorringe/McKay      Kerridge/Gibbs
FF      Lamb                                  Levi                        Walker

With resting rucks rolling through there too.

Could play CHF in a Riewoldt type role?

The lifeline offered by Carlton has paid off for Gorringe who said he was clear about his role for the first time as he looked to establish himself as a half-forward.

“Coming here to Carlton has allowed me to figure that out,” he said.

Gorringe said he had found a new lease on life in Melbourne after admitting he had lost passion in the game in recent years.
