AFL Rd 5 2023 In Game Angst Carlton vs Adelaide

[LordLucifer]

Plowman gets smashed all the time but the same people here keep supporting this myth that he's not that bad. He is hopeless.

Top of my "whipping boy" list and for damn good reason too !!!

[LordLucifer]

I'm starting to have second thoughts on Acres too !!

Jack gets smashed in the ruck.
Wtf are you watching?

What is more important?
Hitouts or clearances?

Hitouts mean SFA unless they are to advantage.
80% of hitouts go to a 50-50 contest.
If Jack competing gives us a hitout that goes to a 50-50 contest (even if it comes off the hand of the opposition) then its a battle of our midfield vs theirs.

Forget about watching the hitout, watch the clearance.

I've just watched 2 ruck contests with Jack. He lost both hitouts.
Cripps got the clearance in one.
Jack got it in the other.

Yes, 'smashed' in the ruck contest, but in both cases, we wont the clearance which is all that matters.
His 'competing' in the ruck is all we need. We don't need him to win it, just compete.

EDIT
As i say that, he won the hitout, to advantage and we got another clearance.

EDIT2:
Jack won the next ruck clearance by himself as well.

I have watched the entire game. Smashedin the ruck and clearances.

Plowman ............. can you ever kick the ball forwards ........... FMD, twice in a minute he retreated and kicked it behind.

It is so deflating & negative to do that, he has to go back tothe VFL and stay there for the remainder of the season, then booted off permanently at seasons end..

[pinot]

Need to drop Plowman, Cowman, Fisher and Honey for next week.
VFL tomorrow will be interesting.
George has played three poor games in a row and needs to be dropped too.

[madbluboy]

George clearly shouldn't be playing. Don't play injured players.
