2018 Rd 5: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs West Coast

[flyboy77]

I agree GTC but I also think Harry has been sooking it up for quite some time (remember his tweet that he was the only only of his draftee mates not to get a RS nomination?).

Now he's in there, let's hope mentally he's up to the slog....

[Jeffy38]

Is he being instructed to not bother getting down and dirty and play a certain way? That is the way he is playing now? Just sayin'

Hey GIC I’m confused by the post, I can’t see this being coached unless I am missing something. The modern day coach, including bolts, is very much about being able to win your own ball.

Are you suggesting he has been asked to play more outside as threats where our greatest need is?

Time for H to stop sooking, grow up, put in like the rest of the grown ups. Perhaps the penny has dropped. Lets hope so.

All I am suggesting is that perhaps he is being instructed to play a certain way which is different to how we think he could/should play. We were talking about this very topic at work today and I suggested this to guys in the conversation. Lets face it, they are all robots who try and follow every instruction to the letter. SPS is a tough little character, an ex bull rider. Thats not the hobby of a soft cock right ? The kid also knows how to tackle, I have seen him do it. So why doesn't he do it all the time? Perhaps he other things/roles to do. No1inparticular and I were having a discussion about SPS a few weeks back. He suggested SPS brings others into the game by the way he plays, I am starting to see that now.

He had 6 turnovers and a supercoach score of 14, he had a shocker.

...and i pointed that out in my own comments earlier.

Doesn't make anything i said incorrect though.

Nothing you ever say is incorrect Kruddler, everyone knows that!  :o :-X ;D

Cripps only had something like 34 possies but it was one of the most influential games I have seen from an individual playing for Carlton in a long while.  From memory he had a hand in all but 2 of our goals. Several times he single handedly turned a threatening WCE move to our advantage through pressure/tackle/bump/intercept, and he was often involved in the immediate follow up play, and sometimes involved again for a third time.

Nothing you say is ever worth reading, but we get sucked into that.

I quoted stats from the game. It can't be wrong unless the stats guy got it wrong.

Feel free to add something constructive to a conversation once in a blue moon, it'd make an improvement.

I’m glad you asked...

“WEVE GOT LANG TO COME INTO THE TEAM !!! ????????????

SPS looks like he missed a bit of preseason to me and he's just off the pace. He's making some silly mistakes which weren't there last year. Having said that he was really good in the first half against Richmond in particular. Worth persevering with.
