Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[laj]

The K man had a great game and was all over Goldstein. He was dominating those center clearances when we were coming back. A bit more strength into those young bodies and lookout.  Time for Jack to go back to the two's and get some confidence into his game and give Kerr a run.

Kreuzer was interesting. Didn't have a possession for a qtr and a half then was brilliant, much like the team. He finished with 18 possessions and 9 tackles. Dominated in the ruck against a very good opponent.

3 games we have led in the last qtr this year and lost. While that's disappointing it's also a good sign with such young bodies.

Green shoots galore.

Jack, Fisher and SPS need a spell in the twos to find some touch and confidence

Perhaps could have won that game if Jaksch, Smedts and Palmer played.

We have a bye next week so hopefully that will freshen the young ones.

Nothing week for us next week with both the Seniors and NB's not playing.

Help if we picked another marking target.  Sumner, WTF?

When are we going to see a STAY at home FULL FORWARD. You know the ones? The ones that when we get the ball and stream down the wing you know the next kick will be to a LEADING forward.
We lost the game North didn't win it.
BB, you and the coaching team have done a superb job in building a backline but they have NONONE to kick it to in the forward line.
It is time to bring in a leading FULL FORWARD not a run up the ground and get a linking mark on the wing type guy.
We seem to have two, McKay and Kerr. Toss the coin, put one at FULL FORWARD and give US SUPPORTERS some hope that there is a next phase in our rebuild.
Because we have shown we can stop teams, we have shown we can defend, we have shown we can match it but we CANNOT kick a WINNING score!
IT IS TIME!

Well, I for one don't need too much convincing that there is hope there.  We kicked almost 100 pts, our midfield got amongst the goals we actually had a forward plan that got us back into the game. Started 2 up forward, 2 on either side of the square and the other left overs coming off the back. North didn't know where to go for two and a half quarters.

I have plenty of hope..  and faith.

Yes!

Playing with one key forward only, who has to ruck as well, was a blunder. Needed a 2nd one, one that can read it and lead at the right time would be good.

We had the chance to go into an open forward line a few times but didn't have that tall that could go one on one or lead into space hence we tried to chip it and mucked it up. A 2nd key forward might have made a big difference.

Two clangers from Weitering (spiking the ball back into play on the goal line) and MacCreadie not forcing a rushed behind in the last were damaging.  They will learn by those mistakes. That is what 'getting game time into the kids' is all about.
