Rd 9: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. North Melbourne

[laj]

We were outclassed pretty much all over the field, stats are fairly meaningless.
As someone else said we struggle badly against classy big bodied midfielders and Ziebell, Cunnington, Swallow and Dal Santo were too much for us to handle apart from Goldstein's dominance.
A few positives.
Docherty continued his great run of form, Byrne looks something pretty special, Weitering learned something about playing on seasoned forwards and Sumner shows a bit despite his wayward goal kicking.
We never gave up and fought it right out but tonight showed clearly how far off the pace we are.

Yes, along way to go but we knew that. Geelong will pump us then we have the chance at 2 more wins straight after that against Brisbane and St.Kilda. We're a chance at 8-9 wins this year with wins against sides at our level, which is all, or even more than we could expect.
