Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations

[cookie2]

We just need to play like we did last week, and if we can lessen the errors and make the most of our easy shots at goal, who knows?

And keep up the intensity for 4 quarters.

Yep there's a bit of a point of difference from some on here. I say we tired earlier than the Tiges, others are saying we switched off at the wrong time. Could even be a bit of both. I thought we looked tired towards the end of the third quarter as well. Yes we worked back into it in the last term but I think that was in line with the Tigers also tiring, albeit 10 minutes later than we did.

Talia out for 2 Months.

At 3qtr time against the toigs I thought we would run away with it. Supremely fit guys like Kerridge and Curnow should have come through but they definitely tired badly.

Learning curve for everyone to work out how to pace themselves through a full game under the new rules. Saving your gas for the last qtr may be more important than a 2 or 3 goal lead these days.

This is purely observation rather than data, but with our bench we seemed to rotate our key position players more and left the mids on the ground. Richmond did the opposite.
Our game plan of pushing the forwards up the ground so far might be the cause.

There is some weak mail that Murphy might be out, allegedly hasn't pulled up so well!

Murphy is fine. 10 day break helps.

Great to hear!

Least time on ground- Phillips, Murphy, Wright, Everitt and White.

[Pratty]

Leave Thomas out or bring him in for someone other than Buckley.

I'd keep playing young Bucks and utilizing his break away pace.

Yet statistically Murphy was our equally highest ranked player, for his critics does that mean he is now forgiven or was he just lucky?
