VFL 2023 Rd 13 Carlton vs Werribee at Werribee

[northernblue]

No plowman ?

[Lods]

Werribee 6-6-42 leading Carlton 5-7-37 at half time
Binns 19
Hewett 13
Fisher 13

Just an observation...and it may be off the mark.

We're in front, but I think we're pretty lucky to be there.
It's on the back of some good individual efforts.
On the other hand Werribee look much more composed and cohesive.
They play more as a 'team'
Our efforts are probably a bit reflective of our senior side.

[Lods]

Young has taken some good intercept marks and Jack (playing in defence) has been solid. Second efforts really good, but you wouldn't expect less.

[Lods]

Out to a handy lead 10-8-68 to 7-9-51 now but Werribee have the breeze in the last.
Binns up to 26
Hewett 20

Binns has been good but I like Ramshaw and Cahill in terms of AFL senior potential.
Jack has been ok down back but his kicking can be ordinary and when you are slower than most he has to hit targets everytime.
Young....been intercepting across half back has a casual approach to disposing fo the ball and needs to improve that area of his game. I wouldnt be selecting either Jack or Young based on todays game.
Carroll has played a ok 3rd quarter and shows some smarts but he needs to play 4 quarters and do it every week.
Okeefe is a trier in the ruck and while very raw he has some potential...
Akuei doesnt impress me and lacks composure, just no awareness or nous and loses too many contests he should win, not even a VFL player imo and more a suburban footballer in training.
Hewett...done some ok things but nothing telling me he needs to be picked next week in the seniors..
Fisher as a defender...kicked the ball ok and had a few possessions but not for me and he is still in limbo as far as finding a permanent role on our list that you can rely on him each week.

It's quite bizarre these two go into the VFL and look rushed and panicked when taking possession, they both look physically bigger than the opposition yet they do not look calm or composed. Last quarter heat they play hot potato type football, bombing it long and fumbling the footy, it's so disappointing. Cowan and Binns look much better, but Binns is pretty lightweight for the step up to AFL.

From today, regardless of how the game ends, Cowan or Fisher look to be the only likely selections.

Why the feck would a AFL experienced player like LoB offload a dodgy look away handball on the D50 with scores tied?

Right there is why Carlton is NFG!

It was terrible.

Werribee win by six points

Similar problems to the seniors.
The O'Brien one was a shocker by they were missing targets  with short handballs all day.
