2017 Rd 7: After Match Analysis: Carlton vs Collingwood

[crashlander]

Can't believe we won that! Looking forward to watching the replay soon  ;D

What's with the umps? Really try not to worry too much but feel
Like we were dudded big time.

I wasn't worried about the umps in the 1st half, but after half time the umpiring was very poor and very much not our way. Some of the decisions were simply incredible, especially some of the 'push - outs'. It appeared that the interpretation from last week had gone out the window like a Czech Defenestration.

Murph was great. Not sure about Kerridge.

Murphy showed how much we missed him last year. Hs ability to get the ball and not stuff up was really good. Early in the season his disposal was a bit dodgy, and his turnovers hurt us badly. However, not many turnovers this week.
Kerridge did some very good work in and under and had a lot of tackles (9), but as the game went on his disposal dropped off badly. If he is going to be a regular for us, he really has to work on that. Otherwise, younger players will be looking at his spot.

Happy Daisy got that goal but still wouldn't be thrilled if he got a contract extension at the $ he's on now.

Daisy had 20 possessions and 9 marks. He earned his spot for next week. I wouldn't want to predict further than that.

SPS so exciting - loved hearing him say the win was 'bloody terrific' at the end - hope he is enjoying being in Melbourne.

A pity he died out in the last quarter. His play was lovely to watch. And his ability to make something out of not much was inspirational. He'll get a Rising Star Nomination soon, if the 'judges' have any idea at all.

LOVE marchbank. Simmo, Doch and Plow good again.

I thought Plow was down a bit, to be honest, but I love the way our defence plays. The number of times Collingwood forwards and smalls failed to get a kick off close to goal was lovely to see. Neither Silvagni nor Rowe had a lot of the ball this week, but they more than did their jobs. The 2 Collingwood tall forwards were ineffective. Our small and mid defenders were excellent.

Cas got himself into it. Kruezer legend. Gibbs very smart footballer.

The thing I liked about Kreuzer was that he was playing someone who usually beats him in Grundy. But Kreuzer was great in his efforts to reduce his effectiveness and still managed to give our mids a real hand. The stats say that Grundy had more of almost everything, but what they do not show was how relatively ineffective Grundy was. Kreuzer, on the other hand, was far from ineffective.
