Post Game Commiserations AFL 2020 Rd 15: Carlton vs GWS

[Shakin77]

SOS tried on a couple of occasions to get Haynes before he was this Haynes.

Tbh I felt like Dow wasn't excited to be there - i watched the first quarter again and after his goal, the celebration was all pretty lacklustre. Maybe he'll be another that leaves and does better in another team.

I don't know what to make of this.  Is this a knock on Dow's personality?      Needs to be more extroverted?

Haynes is the one down back and will be AA, wouldnt mind him in a Blues jumper, great endurance and one of the better intercept marks in the comp. Himmelberg looks good at times but never does enough IMO but was good after half time.
Thought Haynes, Greene and new kid Riccardi won them the game, the rest of the GWS group were very low impact.

One at the back, one in the middle, one up front. Greene was the one for mine, pushed up the ground, got the ball and did a Pendlebury where everything slowed down around him. Cool, calm, collected and just found the right option.Haynes just marked everything most of the night. You'd reckon they would have worked out they needed to kick it slightly longer.

Got give Dow some time.  Another that is 42 games in.  Yeah there are guys like Walsh who hit the ground running, but he is an athletic beast.

Plenty in his draft year that a yet to hit their straps.    I am not convinced he is going to be a star or even a good player but he needs time.

“I think it’s a maturity thing with him. He should be playing," the dual Brownlow Medallist said.

“He’s got to earn his spot … I’m not there at the moment but there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be playing and if he’s not, another pre-season will help him.

“It’s a maturity thing but he’s got power that kid, he’s quick and skilful.”

Amazing player really is Greene , isnt tall@181cm but takes marks, imposes himself on the game and brings others into the game. Thought Coniglio was terrible, just laughed at Mummy who spent the first ten minutes trying to clean up every navy Blue body he could, laughed again when Cripps dumped his fat ar$e in a tackle too in the middle of the ground...GWS were putrid last night and how the coach got a two year extension baffles me.

Totally over him.  Classless

Good analysis.

X2 .  Very quick to flog his "expertise" too all and sundry, including clubs he should know better about.  He last played 20 years ago,  long before zones, team defences etc etc.

Good analysis.   

Thank you

Athletic...yes...Skillful is very debatable especially in traffic...he does need games but the club is at the crossroads in terms of development of youth vs results. You cant play all your kids if you want to win games and you can only play the kids who are showing the best form IMO.
