JLT 2018 - Carlton v Hawthorn (Sat 10th Feb)

[laj]

Bad kicking = Bad Footy, should, coulda, woulda, didnt. But yes, the smalls were very lively.

We won a Preliminary Final once kicking 16.8 to 14.17. Wasn't it nice!!!

[LP]

Box Hill 17.9.111, Northern Blues 10.11.71.
GOALS: Johnston 2, McCabe 2, Costigan, De Koning, Harman, Kerr, Lebois, Pearce
DISPOSALS: Federico 21, Polson 16, Kerridge 15, Pearce 15, Strachan 14, Fisher 13

Not the best. But that is the way it goes. Box Hill are apparently the favourite for the flag, for what it is worth.

Did young Zac Fisher play both games, or is that another Fisher? :o

Ooops, Sam Fisher of course!  :-[

Cripps and Murph turned up the volume after half time, Daisy probably our best over the four quarters, Zac Fisher shows a ton of promise.
It was an average game but it's always nice to beat Hawthorn.

Crips had 29 possessions, but they were almost all handballs.
Murphy had 23, again a lot of handballs.

Weitering had 26 disposals and 12 marks. Jones has 17. The Hawthorn tall forwards did nothing!
Kennedy had 20: 10 kicks and 10 handballs.

My green shoots?
- Broke the 100 point barrier
- Zac Fisher will be a player
- Liked they way Wieters slotted back in
- Liked the way Cunners went about doing his job
- Liked the fact we werent intimidated and never ever gave up

[DJC]

Not impressed, should have lost by 6 goals.

Small forwards look lively though.

Were you at the game, watching it on line or just sooking that your man Malthouse is no longer involved?

We lost our most important player, kicked 8 goals in a quarter, and held out to defeat one of the powerhouse clubs of the last 50 years.  Yes, it’s only a JLT game but the effort we put in tonight was a significant improvement.

Thought Pickett had some very good cameos but how to get him more involved....

[DJC]

I WOULDN'T BE PLAYING mURPHY RD 1 ON CURRENT FORM....

SOFT, SOFT, LAZY

Did you actually watch our games?

Got some toe the lad

Got some toe the lad

Exciting and important player...it wasnt the flashy stuff that impressed me it was the way he steadied and it shows maturity from how he played last season.

[LoveNavy]

Scrappy game no doubt. But a win interstate for our youngsters will provide what a loss anywhere can't, and some. Bonding Blues on route from the Apple isle.

All the very best to big Kruez. He was sensational before his injury.

Given our slow start, and Kruez's early exit, I thought we stayed the course and turned it up at crucial times.  Excellent signs of the cohesion building IMO.

Finally cracked the 100 and kicked well at goal. Wooohoooo ;D
Go Blues.
