So absolutely what we were worried about with our forward line is happening, our talls seem to be getting in each other’s way. Max needs to go back to protecting space if he’s there, allow Brown, Tommy, and Weid to get an easier look at it. The pack forming is just too much for a contested mark. 

Finish the quarter without a cheapy

Poor umpiring again. With no consistency 

We have won the first two quarters only need to win the next two

I’m loving the completely biased barracking against us from the commentary.

?

Brayshaw rabbiting on about Betts getting a free for htb against Lever when he kicked the ball.

13 points up and not playing well . Well done Plugger.!!!!

Petracca needs to be a better team man. He’s trying to do far too much instead of giving first option. 

So Yze, you said they were going to make adjustments to get better at centre clearances. It hasn’t worked, we need to work it out. 

It's very apparent at the ground that our small forwards have been [censored] useless. The likes of Kozzie, Spargo and ANB need to lift.

Trac playing like he thinks he's a world beater. No need to thrill us with every touch, just do the simple things.

The ABC Radio is worse with that guy that used to play for Carlton... McClure or however you spell his name

Trac is filthy at himself. I sit near the bench and he was fuming when he came off in the first. Needs to do better. 

Defensively pretty solid. May Lever and Salem playing well

TMac is best BOG. Where would we be without him.

Weid ok for his first game. chandler struggling. Reckon i'd prefer an extra small to bring some pressure. Not locking it in there enough.

Clearance work is a mess. Viney comes straight back in as soon as he's fit.

Can someone please explain the umpiring to me?

Sure, when it’s an obvious free, pay it the other way. When it’s clearly not a free, pay one anyway. When one side gets behind pay a free.  When you don’t want to pay a free against your favorite team, invent a new rule like ‘he tried to kick it’!!!

Why is Gawn pushing forward with the three big guys we already have there???

 

Elementary game day error. Clearly not necessary. All it does is clog up the forward line and create uncertainty. Either coach's instructions or Big Max is a little slow in working out where to position himself with this re-jigged forward line. Another issue hopefully to be addressed at half-time.

Chandler deserves some slack but he’s a mile off it. I can’t remember an involvement that was a positive one.

Meanwhile Weid and T Mac in the side is a thing of beauty.

 

❌ clearances 12-20!! Centre clearances 6-6

❌Letting Docherty free to win and run across half back  

❌Trac getting caught doing too much x3

❌defensive wobbles and handball turnovers 

✅langers goalkeeper 

✅ Tmc ⭐️

✅ oliver lever salem 

Carlton fans say McKay is “unstoppable” 1 on 1 and yet Steven May has won every single 1 on 1. What does that make May?

Don’t care if he’s injured, May was bathing him well before it too. 

Plenty to improve, but sitting quite nicely.

I think the forwards getting in each other’s way has been as much is reverting to bombing it in. Especially with Carlton, lower your eyes and there will be pockets of space.

Petracca will be reminded to do the simple things at half time, and he will be better for it.

Thank the Lord for TMac. Our clearance work with a dominant ruckman  is schizenhousen.

Also our crumbers go to the back of the pack, they need to be at the front.

We got this!

GO DEEEEZ!!!!!

Only 2 forward 50 tackles compared to their 10.

Petracca has been quite poor so far. Trying to do superman stuff instead of the first option.

Yep. Anb dissappeared . Kozzie not much.

Need to move it quicker inside 50. 

Looks like Carlton are playing one on one
