Carlton Beat Melbourne (Post Game Waffle)

[Brettie]

Special mention here to Ed Curnow.
Was never going to be a superstar. Kicking skills are ordinary. Speed is one paced, but boy did he run his guts out yesterday. Continually presented for the hit-up kick. Seemed to be everywhere. thought he had a great game.

Great call....especially the 'seemed to be everywhere' observation which was 100% spot on. Will easily finish top 5 in the B&F.

Well maybe I should fly over for every Blues game.

Was great to get back to the 'G and also see our lads win.

Sat behind the Melb cheersquad which was entertaining enough on its own.

Rowe is, and always will be a spud. For such a big man is easily brushed aside. When we were killing them and the pressure was off, Rowe was in his element. as soon as it got tough, Rowe collapsed like a pricked balloon.

Rowe was awful all game I thought. Felt for his opponent rather than attacking the ball. Looked scared out there.
Yes he played well previously under MM, but he needs to go now. Give someone else a gig down back for the remaining 2 games.

Well done lads, enjoyed the match despite our dropping off and injuries/forced sub in the 2nd half.

I thought Rowe played on Dawes?...the latter was next to useless...

Rowe and Jamo switched roles on Hogan and Dawes a few times.

Thought Rowe was pretty good myself. Got caught HTB once but was pretty safe otherwise.

Just got to play within his limitation................and he has a few.

Rowe stop gap at best.

Yet is clearly the best CHB on our list.  :-[

Except for Hendo. If we had given Jaksch more gametime he may have already overtaken him.

I don't count Hendo as being on our list anymore.

Jaksch wasn't given game time because he keeps breaking down.
Still, at his slight frame, Rowe has him covered....for now.

Point is, as good/bad as Rowe is....the cupboard is bare. We need to recruit at least 3 KPPs this offseason. At LEAST 3.

1 to cover Hendo.
1 developing back
1 developing forward
...plus an up and coming ruckman.

We'll get 1 with our first pick. Maybe PSD (Carlisle) will help us get another 1. We need to find more.

Stick Jones down back. He can't do anything anywhere else.

I'm not expecting much at cchb either. You need some smarts in the big time.
