AFL Rd 1 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[RiverRat]

I do expect Selwood to get better as he grows into the role. He'll get feedback as he goes.

Might do better if he doesn't get rostered with BT, JB and Richo

How about when BT convinced them all that the TDK 50 metre penalty was more than 50m? 

I know we all love to hate Eddie but he was pushed out of commentating Collingwood because of bias  but it was obvious BT and Richo were riding Richmond last night.

I didn't realize Charlie's goal review was ruled holding the ball and we got no score.

Yes. you could hear the umpire in the background saying if it's not a goal it's a free kick.

I have never seen that happen before despite numerous incidents that were similar.

Is that right, I didn't realise. Is that why the man on the mark was standing at the top of the square?
UPDATE I Just watched the replay and it was given a behind (score changed from 84 to 85)
UPDATE OF THE UPDATE Boyd kicked a point and they didn't add a behind (score corrected)

Live I thought we were ripped off by not getting Boyd's point.

I thought Richmond responded pretty strongly after last week's debacle. They didn't give up. Hat tip to them. Do our players know that they are allowed to win by more than a goal?
I thought our tackling was pretty good, our goal kicking was average, our defence was very strong but there is still some disconnect in our forward line.
When McKay was recruited I thought he would be our next Kernahan. Over the past few seasons he had become our next Casboult. He looks like he is going to have a pretty big year. I have been pretty happy with Cuningham and Fogarty so far.
Nothing much more I can say.  Keep winning.

I thought Richmond almost beat us at our own game (fast ball movement) with TO's and errors thwarting it.
I thought Cripps was huge as was TDK, Gov, H and Kemp. Whilst I felt Young did very well on Lynch, who was gifted two goals from horrible frees), I still think he seems to panic. Kemp was undersized and solid and managed to redeem his TO when Rich was coming with same game saving efforts in the dying minutes.
I still dont rate Boyd, I am yet to see this elite kicking. His general field kicking is no better than any one on our list.
Special Mention: Jack Carroll, growing into a fine player before our eyes. Keep going son.
Matty Cottrell should be our set shot coach. As Dunstall always says, run straight, drop straight and you kick straight, Cotters is the epitome of this IMO. He has a beautiful kicking action and many on our list should look to him for advice (that's you Kempy).
H was big and powerful, what a game from the big fella.

Just an explanation. Stephen Kernahan was a player you could rely on as a key forward and leader. Levi Casboult would take strong marks and you would hold your breath while he shot for goal. He was a good player.  Sticks was a great player. When McKay started I thought he could be like Kernahan but over the past few seasons he has kicked like Casboult. This season he has played like the leader and quality player I thought he would be. It is really not that difficult to understand.

Sticks wasn't always the best kick either. Those helicopters were special....lol.

Tiges beat by by 21 in contested possessions. That alot considering it was our strength. They easily outscored us from stoppages, again our strength. By contrast, we scored well on transition, which we don't always do.
