AFL Rd 13 2024 Post Game Celebrations - Carlton vs Essendon

[pew2]

great we won BUT my concern is we allowed the opposition 20 more inside 50 ,voss and co have to work out a system that stops this from happening ( lions v carl final in 23 ) and our defence needs support run ball out not blind bomb straight to opposition hope we can make adjustments for 2nd half of season . Rapt for cincotta though.

If we had got our fair share of free kicks we might be having a conversation about a shellacking ?

Yeah nah. Free kicks dont neccessarily end up in goals, depends where they are of course.
20 more inside 50s and 11 missed shots translates to real missed opportunities in my book. Anyhow, as I said, a win's a win and despite our worst qtr for the year (apparently TDK was off for 20mins which could be an explanation?) and some defensive breakdowns, we were in control all night.

Not all inside 50's are equal.  If they kick to a contest and it gets cleared or rushed through its a worthless stat and speaks more for time in forward half.

Prior opportunity doesn’t apply when you drag the ball in.  The umpires are instructed to pay a free as soon as the ball is dragged in. 

Yeo was trying to get a stoppage and run the clock down and it backfired.

I agree with your comments about the increased inconsistency of HTB decisions and the sooner we go back to a reasonable time to dispose of the ball, the better.

The bloke wasn't doing it to waste time. He didn't drag it under him and hatch it. He grabbed and tried to do something with it and was jumped upon. Bad interpretation of the rule. Then again, wouldn't be a week in footy unless the umpire's influence a result with a crap decision, or a gutless non-decision Adelaide v Essendon when Draper dived on it and dragged in under to waste time. Never seen anything like it this year.

Just the style we played. Inside 50s on it's own can be a useless stat. Back in the Bolton days one game we got more inside 50s and lost by 100pts. Shallow entries don't mean alot. Inside 25s would be better guide. Then a side is under real pressure.

We've now won 20 of our last 26.

Not bad considering the draw so far this year

I was thinking more about the game today and how blown away I was by TDK's performance. Then I remembered the commentators said he became an extra midfielder and it dawned on me who he reminded me of, Dean Cox. For me Cox is the most dynamic ruckman I have seen, could run all day, had fantastic skills round the ground, great disposal and could jump over small buildings in a single bound. If Tom continues on this trajectory, forget about Cripps Curnow and H, this bloke can be anything.

The free kicks awarded against Walsh stopped us going forward and gave them an inside 50 opportunity.  That happened far too often, as did the frees against Crippa.  If the frees were evened out, the inside 50 differential would be much smaller.

Despite their 60 inside 50s to our 41, they only had 25 shots to our 21.  Our defence was on top for the entire game and they were forced into taking low percentage shots and shots under pressure, and we forced five rushed behinds.

Shots at goal is a better measure and they led by 25 to 21.  Most of theirs were under pressure or low percentage.
