2018 Rd 9: Post Game Calm: Carlton vs Melbourne

[LP]

I thought Kerridge started off OK on Sunday but by early 2Q he was back to his old self. He's not really someone to be canvassed as a solution to any of out problems - in fact he is one of our problems.

Kerridge can win the football against any opponent, it's using it when he gets it that is his big problem. Give him a Ed Curnow inside mid role against the Cats and free up  Ed do some outside distribution.

Kerridge is a fumbler.

Kerridge is a bit part mid who kicked a couple of bags of five goals for a talented Crows team but thats about his only claim to fame...I'd be playing kids like Cuningham, Polson ahead of him and delisting him at years end.....

All those problems occur on the outside, put him in the guts in a negating role and tell him his career depends on matching Geelong physically. He's more than capable.

Hope he can bring those insights to us and is strong enough to make a positive difference in our environment then.

The coach too. He, if we forget, has been very successful and cone out of the best coaching school we have ever seen at league level.

The press conference was good from Bolton. There was none of the forget about it and move on stuff. He said the players must dwell on this loss and learn from it. Its the essence if team sport turn around. Stand fast board. Bolton is the coach we need and have.

When I see half a dozen players run out in long sleeves, presumably because it's cold, that tells me that they're probably not of a mindset to endure the pain that's necessary to win. Think about that.

Strange claim. Skinny Lappin, Kade Simpson, SOS as previously mentioned. This gets into the realm of players being girls because they have man buns and nice haircuts.

Well Cunningham would certainly be a good swap for Kerridge if he's available and fit this week.

No doubt they have good resumes - it's making all that work at CFC where the big challenges lie for them. I'm praying they can, believe me! We've chewed up and spat out a lot of good people over the years.

Kerridge isnt as good as the Cats second stringers like Duncan, Guthrie, Menegola........
If you look at our onballers two things stand out.....very slow and poor kicking.......

We wont get anywhere negating either IMO....Ed is enough, we need more creative players who can help us score.....

I don't think that he is.
He fumbles under pressure and has a copybook kicking action but sprays the ball around, I don't think that he has the mental toughness to perform consistently at the top level.
