Post Game Pandemonium!: AFL 2020 Rd 14: Carlton vs Collingwood

[laj]

smarter quicker team .the space that stephenson had and delivery was perfect and could of kicked 4 goals /why cant we do the same with eddie for example our coaches have to do better on match day

Takes alot of work to get to that level of structure unfortunately otherwise we'd entrenched in the 8. Bit hard to work on it this year as you can only work with 8 players at a time on the training track. Many forget that. This year is highly advantageous to very established sides for that reason, as Hodge said this morning. Sides with ingrained structures. It's why the Pies can forever miss top players but not miss a beat making GF's and PF's with a number of good ones missing. We are still working to establish that. It's much better than it was and at times have manged to use it and find that space on occasions, just not consistently.

GTC....traded a draft pick to the Dogs to get Liam Jones. The Dogs used that pick to snare Caleb Daniel. Daniel has been superb for them and we would've been kicking ourselves early but I think Jones has been pretty good down back in the last few seasons for us.

The rest of 2014 draft/trade period is stuff of nightmares!

Yep agree

Surfie I think MM was instrumental in getting Jones iirc. A family friend, from memory.

Yes, MM mates with Jonesy's dad from memory.

Took lots of years and frustration but eventually paid dividends.

Reminds me of why we went after Warnock when we had Kruezer and Jacobs then recruited Hampson.

Kreuzer was a kid, Hampson, not real good and young, Jacobs was pretty average and just got his 2nd run on the rookie list. Hindsight always helps. 

Things changed after.

And yet we played twice as well against them last year when nobody gave us a hope in hell.

But for some terrible umpiring decisions in the last 5 minutes of that game, it was ours.

It's all between our ears...

And that Cripps is wounded, or mind elsewhere, doesn't help.

Different pressure last year. Nothing to lose last year. Highest stakes in 7 years by a long way this year.

Yep. true.  Jones asked to come to Carlton and Mick jumped

[Professer E]

Mick didn't exactly do us any other recruiting favours.... Cost us Waite,  Betts and Robinson.  Words fail me describing that useless flog.

Sean Charles, Mick Martyn, Corey McKernan ... more genius from Pagan

McKernan escaped Norf to get away from Pagan then Pagan came to us, he then went back to Norf.
