2018 Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[cookie2]

During the commentary on today's game someone said that Pendlebury knows where every player in is side is or should be on the field at any time. Do we have anybody who knows that?

I wonder if he's told anyone else? Only joking.

We were in trouble early granted.

Aside from Docherty, the injury to Pickett (albeit yest to establish himself fully) seemed to have a massive effect on our ball movement. His electricity seemed to have been infectious?

The ongoing injury to Lang - sure not the messiah - but a walk up start to our best 22 and an experienced type next to most of our kids.

Ditto Willo - who's hard at it and a very good kick.

Ditto Weiters - whether injured or other....but not right.  Still think his issues are mental, hopefully he'll get sorted.

Then Kreuzer and Kennedy injured in Rd 1 - last time we played remotely good footy. Then the silly effort to bring both back before they were fully recovered.

Marchbank went down and similarly was brought back in too soon.

ACOS injured, Byrne injured, Murphy injured.

SOJ is a shadow of what he offered last year - 2nd year blues or young love but he shouldn't be playing 1s for quite some time....

If the Tigers had had a similar injury run last year they would have been lucky to make the 8?

Sounds like BS to me. And pretty irrelevant too.....

Are they suggesting Pendles 'coaches' too whilst in the heat of battle?

I think they were trying to say that each player in the team has a clearly defined role and that Pendles knows what they are and who is filling each one of them and what each one should be doing to carry out their role. A bit of an alien concept for us I guess?

CH7 had a list of Bulldogs players out as well, given they had a younger team with 5 x players under 10 games it was a pitiful effort tonight and the club need a review on where we are at,
and where we are heading.

They may have had a younger team - but where were the young’ns playing?

The fact that we had Dow, SPS, Fisher and Kennedy as key on ballers, along with Harry and Charlie in Key Firward posts means our youngsters were pretty reliant on our young blokes

The Bulldogs being younger is the most statistically biased discussion I've seen.

I spoke to a Bulldogs fan who was generally not pleased with their side and suggested we had more to be happy about despite losing.

I told her it's tough work right now but the future looks good and she vehemently agreed even though both sides were rubbish.

Are you telling me we are full of young low draft picks and were beaten by a rubbish side? ;D

Yep.

Both sides played rubbish football on friday night and have done so all season.
