AFL Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[RiverRat]

My concern with Paddy D is mental toughness. Too often goes missing in real heat, and finals pressure is another level up.

Kennedy & JSOS have both shown mongrel determination when the heat is on. Motlop is X factor.

With Harry out, I would think that one or both Kennedy & JSOS (if fit) would be under consideration as competitive marking forwards

[RiverRat]

Hollands back in for mine. 

Definitely needed to provide another hard running option to rotate through the wing.  I thought he was unlucky to miss the Swans game.

[RiverRat]

long bomb into f 50 once again allows the opposition to set up and take the ball away with ease.

Voss and co needs to change this style.

Bloody oath

[RiverRat]

Btw, can Brian Taylor please STFU about calling holding the ball as a player is tackled, attempting to kick the ball without prior opportunity? It's not the first time he's called for that to be penalised.

Btw, can Brian Taylor please STFU COMPLETELY.

He and his Friday night mates (JB and Richo) are painful to have to listen to AND they are less than knowledgeable about the rules and interpretations.  I have to turn the volume way down because Hodge is about the only one I can stand.

I was suspect but not fully aware of our woeful kick ins from the goal square - we gave up 4 goals just by turn over from kick ins only... thanks to First Crack on Fox Footy for confirming that.
Can dumb players please stop calling for the ball in dangerous areas.

[DJC]

rapt with the win but 2 things that bother me last night and all year is.1 long bomb kick in from fullback to the same side to the wing only for opposition to rebound straight back. 2 long bomb into f 50 once again allows the opposition to set up and take the ball away with ease .Voss and co needs to change this style

Someone made exactly the same point to Boomer Harvey on the wireless this morning.  Boomer's response was along the lines, "We bombed the ball into Wayne Carey.  Of course you'd bomb it into Charlie and Harry McKay.  They are two of the best contested marks in the game."

Seven of our goals came from long bombs inside 50.

Harry’s two misses also came from long bombs and they would be normally be lay down misere goals.

We won't beat Melbourne without Martin and McKay. It's hard enough with them on the park.

We beat them with Harry missing but we had Martin. I'd guess Acres will be doubtful given how he was carrying his arm late in Fridays game.

Underestimate Carlton and the next man up philosophy at you peril, Paul.

But the song says..."never let you down"  :o
