Post Game Parley-2019 AFL Rd 2: Carlton vs Port Adelaide:

[Barbs]

The commentators for the north vs lions game just said Charlie to miss 2-3 weeks with bone bruising.

Ed confirmed same during AFLW GF interview.

Yep Lobbe would've been very handy.....

Further, why not ED C. to curb a Rockliff or Boak? Baffing...anyway will watch replay tonight (was a bit distracted last night)

I think when other teams play two decent rucks then we have to think about the second ruckman...Lobbe is a big unit and probably suited to players like Ryder and Lycett.
Its hard when your rucks are not much value anywhere else on the ground but you cant let the opposition wear down your one ruckman and then take over in the final stages
and help win the game.

re: Robbie Gray......looked a poor game from him mainly because he didnt kick his usual bag then you look at the clearances and he was the 3rd best clearance player on the ground with 8 and had 27 possies. Port threw him on the ball when it mattered and he delivered.....

Great player, but he's caught the free kick staging bug big time!

Lobbe was apparently BoG in the VFL practice match.

Out they go,

patience is a limited quantity!

Phillip's has been ok.

If we are going to rock someone else it should be Liam Jones who gave us his lesser self against port.

Phillips has battled but his opponents have been BOG 2 weeks in a row. He needs help.

[Professer E]

Yep,  Phillips hasn't been poor but his man has been BOG and we've been flogged in clearances.  Time to change it up.

Yes, it's not about what Phillips has done, it's what his opponents get away with!

The lad needs to do more than just jumping and marking, he's got to develop a physical presence or he'll become another Casboult.

We're $hit with 2 rucks. We'd only play worse and might not be in the game anyway. Be counterproductive. Win a few extra taps but get smashed everywhere else and end up.worse off. Nowhere in our side's structure can we play two rucks anyway now bar the next 2 weeks.

With Charlie out would prefer to play a small or bring in Levi if you really want a relief ruck. We may even chose the status quo, so to speak, and pick Kerr.

[LP]

People are talking about Kennedy playing well at VFL practice match, but that came off the back of Lobbe probably being BoG.

So for me it's Charlie, Fasolo and Ed out.

Lobbe, Kennedy and SoJ in.
