Carlton taking advantage of Max's ruck work.

Posted

Stoked at what I'm seeing! I'm paying special close attention to whether the players are looking where they're kicking when going inside 50.

And yes, they are looking, and its showing  :)

Maxy is putting on a clinic. They've given up contesting the ruck and are now just trying to steal the tap from Viney, Clarry etc. and is working to some effect.

Yes but what was that arrogant flip out the back from the boundary throw in that went straight to Carlton while all our mids are in front of him? That set up their first goal after May instead of punching tried to take a screamer from behind. I hope a Goody has a word to both. God after last year how could you get over confident in 2 quarters of good football?

You can’t dominate like we did at the start for 4 quarters. Carlton were better that quarter and we pretty much squared the quarter. Need to come out swinging after half time and put it to bed.

Rivers is looking the goods and the run will do Jackson a lot of good. Bennell is doing a job and will be pleased so far.

Let them right back into it with an appalling last five to seven minutes

That last 5-7min was 2019 like, zero poise and they started getting lazy. 

Need to smash them early in the 3rd quarter to kill the game and kill their confidence. Not a whole lot to like about that 2nd quarter aside from a couple of little bursts.

Agree. It was not great. We had them and RELAXED.  May is good but needs to do the defensive thing better sometimes.  
 

Five goal lead but Blues got a sniff. Danger signs.

Detected a whiff of bathwater that quarter. Hope Goody pulls the plug at halftime!

Teams will have lull patches, it's a fact of life. What has always been the problem with this mob is the gap between the best and worst. To completely turn around the clearance rate like that isn't good enough. We should at least still be getting our hands on it at least 1 in 4. Will need an early one in the 3rd because I can see a long period without a goal coming and the commentators piping up about it.

Yep that flick was far too cute. It's times like this where we're prone to complacency thinking it's already all locked up.

You have to expect Carlton to lift in that sort of situation and you have to lift with them or they will start to catch up!

You just wonder how the long time off playing will affect sides hawks faded , only 10 goals pies & tigers ... how will the mfc go in the second half????

Random observation - is the NRL-style halftime arrangement of sitting around on chairs in rooms a result of COVID protocols? I've just never noticed that before in AFL...
