Rd 2: Carlton vs. Sydney: Post Game Passion

[laj]

The scary thing is that side is essentially our best 22, I think I'll check out until draft day.  :'(

That might change a bit as the season goes on.

If the Swans stay injury free, they will touch up a lot of sides this year. Especially now that Buddy has his sh^t together.

Not much, unless someone comes out of the blue.
Byrne should be in that side, so should Clem Smith, apart from those two I haven't spotted anyone outside today's 22 who shows anything much at all.

I agree, they're a very good side, but there's a chasm between them and us.

The combination of Sinclair & Tippert was outstanding , if you can get 7 goals from your ruckman , you a long way towards winning these days . They are a different style of ruckman that we have

Buddy is just a small part of it, Tippett is quickly becoming their most valuable player and they have Sinclair capable of playing a KPF role as backup.

They have a midfield division like no other, the Dawks will have to be at their bastardry best to stop this Sydney train from rolling right over the top of their parade!

I'd persist with Charlie and give Andrejs "I hear them coming" the flick.  Time to give Foster or Jaksch a run at FF.

So I saw bugger all of the game, abit of the 3rd and most of the last but the damage was done. I started listening to the radio whilst in the car in the 2nd qtr and we were 12 odd points down. BB kicked a behind (grazed the post), the two more behinds from very gettable positions by Cripps and Curnow I think. Sydney answered by kicking 3 goals and blew the lead out to close to 40. This was in a 10 odd min period and it was game over for mine.

Two other things I noted:
1. Sadly for Simmo the end is nigh, turn overs, poor positioning, man getting off him. Been poor late last year and during the PS. Signs are not good for mine.
2. 2E must be taken out of defence as he is clueless. Play him in the midfield, wing or HF but no where in defence, he is a liability.

Let's hope McKay adds to this side when he is back
