2017 Round 5: Post Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[crashlander]

The stats are flawed. Docherty, Simpson, Gibbs and Murphy were all well beaten today.

And yet they were still among our better players. That just about says everything in itself.

Even Cripps, who had serious leather poisoning, could not be said to have beaten his man. For at least some of the time he was on Ollie Wines, who was excellent for Port.
About the only guy who could say he won his spot would be Casboult and for half the game we couldn't get it near him.

I think the only thing we can do is put this one down to experience and plan for next week. Our players will not be that ordinary again. And hopefully we'll have Kreuzer back.
