VFL 2021 Rd 4: Carlton vs the Footscray

[crashlander]

[1] Durdin didn't get a touch in the first quarter, but showed something afterwards.
[2] We had so many inside 50's for no reward. The first 10 of the 2nd quarter, for no goals. Why? Nobody down there to take a contested mark and wouldn't drop our eyes.
[3] Kennedy had a shocker. Just couldn't get the ball.
[4] Cooper Stephens reminds me of Nick Duigan the way he kicks and runs.
[5] Cody Weightman can't get a run for the Dogs: how? I've always been impressed.
[6] Honey is good when he gets near the pill. But he doesn't get it enough. His goals were very nice.

[1] 1 goal 10 was match-losing football. Simple as that.
[2] Kennedy was better later, but he still disappointed me this game.

Thanks SPF.  It's good to get a decent review of our reserves current form.

The coach's assessment on the CFC web site is quite different.

Reckons Willo did a great job etc....

Odd.

Whoever he is he's watched a very different game to me!

What I do like about the coach's assessment is that he does accentuate a few things players need to work on (eg something like LOB runs round like a headless chook), which helps give us an idea as to why they aren't in the ones.

I thought Willo wasn't bad at all. His direct opponents barely touched it. His disposal, however, was not always great. I remember seeing him take the play on, get the pill and burst down the grown. It was excellent play, but the kick didn't hit the target, and went back straight over his head to Ugle-Hagan for his only kick and goal.
It was brilliant from him, but that single metre was the difference between us having a shot for goal and the Dogs getting one.

We'd be accused of watching through rose coloured glasses, but perhaps it's the alternate and the other critic has shit in his eye!

Whats happened to Willo? Was a lethal left footer who could run all day, it seems after a few years in our system...well you know the story.
