AFL Rd 7 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[DJC]

Our defence issues are directly related to our inefficient forward line.  We should have outscored Geelong on Saturday but gave up five goals to their rebounds from defence.

More goals per forward 50 entries and more defensive pressure inside our forward 50 and our defence will be fine.

Yes, we’re missing Saady and Gov but Fog’s absence is probably more significant.

Our defence issues are directly related to our inefficient forward line.

Agreed, it's not the entire problem but it's a large contributing factor.

If you are going to frequently turn it over in F50 and keep missing gettable shots eventually the defence breaks down at the other end of the ground, simply because they are continually under pressure while the opposition are gaining confidence.

Wasted opportunities build pressure and destroy confidence all over the ground.

Hurt the Handbaggers on the scoreboard, and they are the ones feeling the heat going the other way.

Voss or Cook need to respond to that.

100% correct, her explanation is woeful.

Just in case you thought that 50m penalty against Harry & Crippa made no sense, get a load of this for an explanation :

It's the vibe !!!! 

Laura Kane might be very good at her job but she has no idea when it comes to explaining umpiring decisions.  She should delegate that part of her role to someone who understands footy.

As for the 50m penalty, Crippa was the closest player to where the mark was taken and Harry was a couple of metres away.  The umpire should have told Crippa to stand and Harry to move away.

Then there's the Henry mark.  Forgetting about the blatant push in the back that took Young out of the contest, the goal umpire's call was a behind.  The review footage provided a good view of the goal post but absolutely no vision of the ball and Henry.  The outcome had to be "umpire's call".

She talks about common sense, how about the umpire use some and think to himself: Hang on minute, Cripps is standing the mark but it should be Harry "Hey Harry, come back and stand on the mark please, Patrick clear off please". The umpire in that instance has to have the awareness that unintentionally, the wrong player is standing the mark and if he is so adamant to correct it, then farken correct it. Dont penalise the guy after he looks, sees his team mate standing then leaves to get out of the zone. Alternatively, let it slide and play on. Imbeciles (umpire, Football Boss and interviewer, not a brain between them).

That answer by Laura Kane was horrific.

You could clearly see that Cripps was closest to the contest and Harry wasn’t actually involved where the player ended up.
Umpire error 100%

The real common-sense aspect is really, who cares who stands the mark. Surely that's up to the players themselves. As long it is someone. It's surely not that hard.

What stood out for me was Cripps jumper being pulled at most stoppages, he got a few and they missed a few more.

i reckon a lot of teams roll the dice with this.  hold the playmaker at every opportuinity - they arent going to call it every time.  so, you hold him at 100 stopages, and they pay 2 free kicks.  pretty good result

What I've always stated is that it's the when and where that is more important than the count.

Sometimes they call it when you've got a clear break and kill your momentum, sometimes you get it on the HBF or Wing where it makes stuff all difference, then all of a sudden someone gets the odd one in front of goal which can be game changing.

I do like the NRL system, which as part of it's score review looks at infringements through the whole chain of play / possession to the score, start taking goals off teams who infringe in the chain of play and you'll see it greatly diminish. They wouldn't need to do it for everything, just when a goal is actually scored. Like that push in the back to Young last weekend.
