Rd 14: In Game Invective: Carlton vs Richmond

[ElwoodBlues1]

Maybe throw weitering forward to try make Rance more accountable ?
Also seem to be missing a bit of pressure up forward, Lamb...

Agree...when Casboult rucks and Kruezer is off we have nothing forward...Weitering has been only average down back....
Cant believe we pick Rance out so much....Bolton needs a player that will lead him wide so we can kick the ball away from him....

I don't think they are breaking tackles really, I think they are just getting out in a lot of space and so we aren't getting a hand on them.

Their ball movement is absolutely A Grade especially on the transition.

[thrunthrublu]

they get the ball out of our f/line so easily
#12 is useless
#16 see above

SPS needs to get involved

They run the ball well and have speed. We are lucky to be only a couple down

have a nice  idl fitr basha

Agree...they are running hard and are quicker than given credit for...anoying see Kane Lambert doing well...

Richmond are doing what we do and playing one extra behind the ball.  And it happens to be Rance. Need to make him accountable.

Yep, wide, deep, drag him up the ground, but if Rancey saggs off our guy must be honored.

Yeap I said as much earlier in the week, but he certainly isn't going with Casboult. I think he is refusing to budge. Half the problem is the slow movement also gives the defense a chance to set and so he doesn't play on an  opponent when the ball comes in.

The chipping isn't working they need to start getting aggressive offensively - let's put pressure down our F50 not leave 5 Tigs players standing around together!

Very frustrating to watch.  Hope we turn it around

[Robblues]

Let's hope our second half we don't let them break from half back as freely. 4-5 goals have come from turn overs down back.
go Blues

Boekhorst, Smedts and Pickett are passengers.....Graham isnt anything great either.....losing the three good kids has cost us.

All 4 have been very poor. In fact awful.

Of course we are down a rotation down as well since the first few minutes of the game.
Gibbs and Murphy are not really having an impact either.

To be honest I think Cripps, Kreuzer, Charlie Curnow, Casboult, Docherty and Jones are playing decent football (though as mentioned Jones was mainly q1) from where I sit.

Kreuzer is our best by a fair margin at the moment I think
