Post Game Pandemonium: AFL Rd 3: Carlton vs Fremantle

[laj]

Good win. Near every sides pulls the pin on pressure when 10 goals up in the 3rd qtr and the margin comes back, unless the opposition is absolutely woeful, like North and St.Kilda on the weekend.

That's a good win. We still have a few to come back. The fact we got 10 goals up pretty quick was a good sign.

They have to be reminded that this is the benchmark.

Whether us fans believe it or not Plowman must be highly respected by the club. I hated his game last week and his attitude post match topped it off but thought he was one of our bets in Round 1

He again this week played a solid game on a very dangerous opponent.

When i saw him go to Walters I like many i guess thought omg this could get ugly fast but not this week. Walters first goal was from a soft free with his usual staging working and I think he only kicked one other so our man takes the points IMO.

Also he intercepted very well this week and foot skills were clean.  Fair is fair he cops it hard when he fails he should receive the praise when he has a game like today.

Good win for us and done in the right way imo. I'm rapt for now but let's see if we can back it up next week. If we do I'll start to believe again.

Plowman is definitely rated by the coaches - B+F top 5 finish twice, and top 10 once.

I’m happy.  Wanted it more. Walsh in a A grader. I said last week Harry is developing nicely. Cripps was hard at it and really liked Jack, Fogarty and Jones games today.
Parks looks ok and happy to win like that without much input from our new recruits in Williams and Saad.
Negative side is Dow looks unable to take the step needed. Too quick to feed off to players under the pump. Time to give stocker and Kennedy a ran of games.

We used Dow badly early in his career. Gave him all the tough jobs from the start rather than lesser roles for his development. Way to ruin a young player. Probably swap Stocker for him next week.

Gov in for Levi, who just didn't come into the season fit and needs a run in the twos to get his confidence back. Good player when confident, not much use to anyone when not. Just means Jones or McKay would have to relief ruck.

Guv should come in but who backs up in the  ruck?

He makes us a better side, though granted he has been far from hs best since coming across...

Jones?

Have to be McKay or Jones.

Finally Gov has pulled his finger out and got very fit, unlike the last 2 years. Looked the part yesterday. Might go better as 2nd tall banana up forward than 3rd. Plus he kicks straight. The rest of the taller forwards kick like dogs hind legs. JSOS being in the side seems to help our forward structure alot these days.

Fogarty's was certainly a steal.

They won't do that.  It's Levi or Oscar until TDK returns.
