Probably would've won if we had a key forward who actually knew how to kick. Levi Casboult and Simon White should just be cut from the team. Taking up spots and onfield opportunities from other players who could have actually contributed to our team, and not the opposition. If it's not levi blasting the ball out of bounds in the forward line, it's white blasting the ball out of bounds in the backline and in the very next play giving away a shit free kick not even 20m out!

I only watched some of this game and the quality of free flowing footy looked better than we have seen in past few years and I hoping this the rule changes around more space for players when they take a mark. I also liked how a lot Carlton players I really barely knew took the game on and kept running and were able to get some goals over the top.. If they can keep their confidence up and doing as such they will more games that most PPL would have first thought prior to the Season.

Long way to go in the season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedaik Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Apart from yesterday it's been a great opening round. Excellent games with good sized crowds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The Season Opener set the tone with there being so much more ball movement than last Season's games of whole periods of games being dominated by sides going down to the line to an opposition Intercept Mark or a Boundary Thrown In. Good to see Geelong win and not by a couple of points, but obviously Hawthorn's outs were a major help... however us not playing Menzel or Vardy is a bit of an upside for us as well. After a number of years of poor/injured ruck stocks it was great to see both Smith and Stanley put in pretty good performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye I noticed the ball movement flowed a lot better, I really like the new "keeping the ball alive" rule. Makes a massive difference when the balls in the front/back pocket, forces teams to actually play footy. 9 hours ago, cadete said: Good to see Geelong win and not by a couple of points, but obviously Hawthorn's outs were a major help... however us not playing Menzel or Vardy is a bit of an upside for us as well.

You guys seemed so much quicker than us and the tackling pressure is ultimately what undone us. We were missing a few big names and had just as many scoring shots at goal but we only played 1 decent quarter of footy, thats never enough against you guys. I can't see us getting a top 4 spot based on yesterday. We might even get pumped by 10 goals next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new space around people when they take a mark "may" mean other teams can now play more like Hawthorn of the last few years with the short accurate kicking to go from end to the other. When you guys were doing as such and getting into your forward line easily via the wing in the the Third Term we looked terrible ESP when the ball ended up with Gunston who takes shots in the pockets like they are straight in front. Geelong's did well with its tall forwards staying at home... Hawkins had a poor game but he let others like Smith off the hook. I am hoping forwards staying nearing to goal is not a short term thing that gets worked out by the coaches after a couple of weeks because it was good to see the kind of football league wide we were used to see five years back.

Shahanga Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 2 goals up at half time. If this was a fight I'd say Carlton are managing to clinch just in Time to avoid the crunching right hands we are throwing. I reckon they can't clinch forever.

Shahanga Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Trying (unsuccessfully) to get my head around what is going on this season. Last year we won four games, yes, that's just 4 games. For the year. The equal least amount, along with those AFL powerhouses Carlton and Brisbane. So we lost 2 of our stars in Dixon (which made all the experts claim strengthened his new club's flag hopes, great) and Bennell (a future Brownlow winner, apparently). On top of that we seemed to give all out draft picks to Essendon and again the experts raved about what a good deal it was (umm for Essendon that is). With that as the background, even with the bald guy back I didn't have a lot of hope and what do we have now - 3 games, 3 wins? I assume ASADA are running their tests right now............
