NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Sydney at Etihad

[Gointocarlton]

Cripps - He's a monster. Ability to get the handball out under pressure is awesome.

JW - has he been playing AFL for the last five years, because it looks like he has

Boekhorst - Best game I've seen him play.  Put in four quarters

Nicky G - MM was going to get rid of him. Has gone to the next level.

Kerridge - At the moment we got the better of the Menzel / Kerridge deal.

Thomas - tried hard all night.  Can't kick.

Buckley - Looks great.  A key player for us.

White - Remains a tried and true Northern Blue.

Rowe - he was OK in the second half but if we had anyone else...

Gorringe - no, doesn't have it.

Phillips - needs to get more of the ball around the ground but he will be 2nd ruck

Krooz - I hope and pray he is injury free

Bolt - needs to do more when he's not clunking them.  His body worked dropped off as well

Wright - smart footballer, good pick up

Simo - nothing special. Did his thing.

Gibbs - did the bare minimum.

Curnow - one of the best taggers in the league.

Jamison - happy with his effort

2E - apart from a couple of errors was good

Whiley - takes too long to make decisions. 

Everitt - awful

Walker - very rusty. 

Lamb - tried hard, had his moments.  Would play him Round 1.

Most of it was spot how I saw it but:
Lamb was awful
Gibbs was awful, Im concerned.
2E was ok carrying the footy and kicking, was terrible defending.
Rowe apart from a couple of nice spoils in the second half was terrible.
Levi looked like he was not confident at all.
BB was BOG for us.
As I said during the game, we give away too many frees and turn the ball over too much on our HB line which result in too mangy goals.
We seriously lack fwds who can kick straight.
But overall, the sprouts as BB calls them are there.
