AFL Rd 3 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Hawthorn

[ElwoodBlues1]

Fisher needs to do a lot more I reckon EB,  he's treading water ATM. 

Prof, Agree...just went today IMO and needs a big game. I still remain unconvinced about Setterfield and Obrien as being in our best 22 but I'll give Obrien points for effort and I thought Setterfield did some ok too things but still remains a player I dont trust.
Williams is getting plenty of easy ball down back but is another who makes me nervous when he has to defend and I dont see him as desperate enough.
Watched a bit of the VFL and too be honest I didnt see a lot that would challenge Fisher or any of the others for their spots, Dow was handy but still makes disposal errors, Fogarty is handy and looks a good backup player for Durdin, Owies etec but to me needs to do more to force his way in and probably the best smaller type was ex Dogs player Will Hayes who isnt on the list.

Only needed 2 qtrs, no biggie.

Still have Philip and Honey to come back to the VFL side but more than happy to go to the draft this year.

Silvagni was limping post game.

Silvagni had a huge ice pack on his knee after last week's game.
It might be something he's playing through at the moment.
If so it makes his efforts more impressive.

Where are we at?
I'm not sure.
There are signs of definite improvement but the lapses and goal runs are still present.
We'll see in the coming weeks whether we are 'front running show ponies', a side that is still vulnerable when the pressure goes up a cog....or the real deal.
Hopefully the signs of improvement are genuine and sustainable.

Worst win ever.

Worst win ever.

Doesn't matter how pretty it is, at the end of the day its another 'W' and i'll take as many as we can get at this stage.

Teams that start 3-0 have a 70% chance of making finals and i think it was a 50% chance of making the prelim.

[Gointocarlton]

Worst win ever.

For you maybe, Ill happily take a win every week no matter how ugly, lucky or whatever other negative adjective you can think of.

[capcom]

Yep agree kruddler.  I've not seen someone play afl footy with so few endearing qualities as boyd.

Hes not hard, he's not tough, he didn't read it well, lacked intensity, lacked composure, leaked goals all day and isn't overly quick.

Summed him up well ...

Worst win ever.

Guys, it was a win we wouldn't have had last year, or for most of this century. We really dug deep at the end there. With a little more luck and an umpire willing to pay frees we could have won by a lot more. It really irritated me that instead of getting a free kick 25 m from goal, the ball goes the length of the field for a goal to them. We tackled marvellously but gained few rewards for it.

And don’t forget Harry’s mark that was touched by the invisible man !
