Rd 18: Post Game Pandemonium: Carlton vs Brisbane

[blue4life]

Derm thinks highly of Charlie.

Derm gets paid to shoot his mouth off, Carlton people would be well advised to ignore him.

A very clear indication the umpiring was substandard- Zorko got a one week ban for hitting Plowman - absolutely in front and one metre from an umpire that was watching and didn't even award a free kick ffs!!

I couldn't believe that the umpire let that one go.  The only possible excuse is that the umpire thought that Plowman was faking it.  Perhaps all of the umpires should be punched in the guts so that they know what effect it has.

He's got a good record with such predictions.

Anything off the ball should be penalised, if a player sits an opponent on his backside metres away from play or during a break an immediate free kick should be paid on the spot, this he-man nonsense is a blight on the game.
And while I'm at it, what's with allowing players to shepherd the man standing the mark?
If it's not against the rules it should be.

Aaron James is the next Wayne Carey

I think I've found a little positive.
According to those figures we have a new leader.
Big H has an average of 1.2  ^-^

Fwiw I thought young Jack managed the adjustment in position well. That's got me thinking... Jonesy went forward for a bit, and Simo  floated forward too. Is this part of the hawks flexibility philosophy creeping in? I know we've got an injury toll, but maybe this allows opportunity to throw the boys around a little. Particularly while the stakes are low (pride aside).

The number after the '.' is not behinds, its a decimal point.

1 goal from 1 game is an average of 1 goal a game.

1.2 goals a game would mean he'd kick 6 goals over a 5 game period.

Still....he is 3rd on our list.

He had the likes of Judd and Pendlebury pegged very early.

Like really, a Carlton player gets a bit of recognition and all supporters can do is shoot the messenger. People must live in a total world of negativity. Not directed at you but generally amongst many supporters.

He'd kick 6.10..lol.

You're entitled to your opinion, however wrong it may be.

Jack's football education was really ramped up today and that's what's going to make the difference to his career.  Bolton's decision (and presumably that of the rest of the MC) to play Jack in defence gave me more confidence that we're on the right track.  Yes, winning games is important but setting the team up to win more games in 2018 and 2019 is more important than beating another developing side this season.

How many times has casboult been played in defense? Perhaps thats why he is just an average player (at best)?
I thought Fev was a slow learner, but the 1 quarter he played in defense on fraser gehrig where he had 4 (5?) kicked on him turned him into a genius forward!

I understand that it CAN be beneficial, but Jack is about the smartest, most pure footballer we've got on our list.

With all the switching and swapping of players we have going on i can't help but think "Jack of all trades, master of none". Especially in regards to Weitering. He's gone backwards in defense since his forward education.

Hilarious.

MBB still wanting Mick back.

I realise the usual suspects will be jumping off Bolton but tell me, who played on Zorko in the second half?

Was it Tommy Williamson? Certainly curtailed his influence, which sadly had already had a huge effect.

We should Defo sack Bolton.... Wonder what Roos is doing, Lethal maybe? Perhaps give Terry another go.
