Hellish Inferno

Fritsch one handball! Same stats as Kenty

I thought they were already... You can't expect a team to hit every one! In saying that, I think we are also playing pretty well. Just a little loose defensively but we'll see how it plays out. Trac needs to hit the sticks when he has the chance rather than trying to lay it off so much

Yep Salem was caught in no mans land on several occasions either ball watching or guarding no one in particular... I know he's used for his offensive side but gee some of his defensive efforts are poor (usually due to his positioning as he generally goes in hard when it's his turn) By no means he is the only one, but he's definitely a player that teams will look to exploit

Love what Bernie has contributed to the club, but I did notice he struggled to contest the high ball with the lack of spring and also a bit slow to defend the players with excellent agility (both never strong suits of his, but I think he's fallen away even more this season). With the added intensity of finals I think he may struggle more, which is a shame given the experience and stability he would provide

Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

Bad decision making and bad skill execution

C'mon Demons, step it up again and hammer it home Based on today JKH, Vanders and Vince to hopefully be replaced by Viney, Melksham and Hibberd respectively

Wow so with Lyons out that makes 4 of their Top 5 in AFL player ratings not playing! http://www.afl.com.au/stats/player-ratings/overall-standings#club/CD_T1000

Hibberd not having a great game

Behind the goal footage not great for Jones there. Had the chance to pick up Wallis for a while... But go the Dees!! Hammering them this quarter. Go Spargs!!

I wonder what the players think about playing up in Darwin. Aside from the obvious physical effects, the potential impact on morale must also have some consequence. A happy team surely performs better. But then again the players may not have an issue with it and I have no idea of knowing...

It's impossible to know how many games out of the 40 are being rated, but occasionally on the AFL Player Ratings twitter they post some tables which include those kind of numbers for the most improved, leading players in position etc. For example, Oliver is actually rated in 38 of his last 40 games so he has a great chance of moving into the top 10 rated players in the next few weeks. I'm guessing that Hogan and Hibberd are rated low because they have played just 21 and 29 games respectively in the last 2 years. We have plenty of players in the top scoring for the last few rounds

on afl match centre the crows have one more player on the list. 23 surely, can't be?

We won that by 105 https://afltables.com/afl/teams/carlton/gamer.html

We are now responsible for Carlton's biggest loss at the MCG, surpassing their 108 point loss to Collingwood in 2002.

What seems odd is that apparently the camp was 'scheduled' for some time, but it was only late in the picture that some players decided that they did not want to go. Quite poor judgement from the players given the organisation that is required and all the work that would have gone into preparing for the camp to pull the pin so late when there was plenty of opportunity earlier to raise any issues. Doesn't paint a good picture of the communication and leadership structure at the club, both between the players and coaches/administration but also the players and leadership group, given that both seem to have been bypassed by some of the players directly to the AFL players association...

Drove past training yesterday stuck in traffic on Punt Road. The boys drilled about 5 sweet kicks in a row in a half ground drill. Dees Premiers 2018

Vote for the goal here https://goaloftheyear.afl/vote/round/17?cid=GOTY_Fanzone_votenowstatic Typical that only one angle of the kick is shown (even though they had the side angle to choose from, which gives a better context of height and distance) whereas Stevie J has 3 different angles.

Gee the saints have some soft players Hickey and Lonie in particular

With our injuries to key players we actually fielded a less experienced team than Carlton on the weekend. Games: Carlton (1903) v Melbourne (1644) Goals: Carlton (1114) v Melbourne (1039) Average age: Carlton (24 years, 233 days) v Melbourne (24 years, 180 days)

Not sure if he was giving the finger, but actually think he is beckoning Oliver to come over. Didn't see Clarry take the bait at all that time. Plenty of other Carlton supporters were also giving it to him in the vicinity too. Scum

Sure

Noticed this clown still giving it to Oliver at the start of the last quarter. Just after the ball was kicked out on the full by Omac

Harsh on Hannan and Kent. Hannan is so creative and damaging, but perhaps you remember the occasional error more? Kent has physical presence and was a bit inconsistent, but much better than earlier in the year Melksham, Smith and Stretch will be sweating though...
