R15: Carlton Vs Adelaide Post Match Discussion

Kerrige and Graham are simply not AFL footballers and were deplorable.

Amazing fight by many and good games by many.

Skills really let us down today. Too many fundamental errors. Inside handball wasn't working.

Troy Panell is an utter disgrace.

Too many dumb mistakes.

Jones, Gibbs, Cripps, Kruezer all huge.

Lots to like again but our bottom 4 or 5 hurt us week after week.

Don't worry Crippa, they are not our future.

Curnow will make it 5 rising stars this week. 11 marks against Lever.

I reckon Kerridge was good.
If we'd had Ed and not Graham we would have won this. Really well done.
Ps. Is Weitering carrying a few injuries?
Something not quite right there although he still did a good job.

They weren't terrible, yes they made a mistake or two like most players did, but they did a lot right.

Hopefully get a few more back soon.would rather try Buckley than continue with sumner unfortunately.

I cannot fathom the transformation of Liam Jones. He played almost as well as a back man can play against a quality opponent.

I'm a believer.

Sumner with 4 possessions would be disappointed he can't find better form.

By comparison Silvani with only 5 possessions had a really good game.

Charlie Curnow.

That is all.

Kerridge yes. Graham- no. I think we had no choice today.

Based on recent efforts, we are one good trade/draft period away from being a very good team. More good signs. Liam is the find of the year. No fluke about it now.

That was one of the most frustrating umpiring displays I have ever witnessed. Deplorable. Two interpretations when it came to holding the ball, dropping the ball and in the backs. Shocking!!!

Curnow is going to be some player. He was Kouta-like today.

As for the Crows, they can bugger off if they think they can continue to rape our club. I hope Gibbs could see that they are not much. A bunch of front running, flat track bullies.

I think we confuse lots of possessions with doing a lot right. Kerrige was directly at fault for multiple crow goals and neither of them used any of the possessions positively. Lots of missed handballs. Lots of sideways or backwards kicks. Lots of missed tackles. Graham had a snap with a few mins to go from 30m out that didn't even make the distance. Both killed us all day. Kerrige long bomb goal the only positive.

Marchbank possibly done for the year. Hopefully ASOS is fit.

Agree Sumner was extremely disappointing. Actually hasn't shown much this year imo.

A young side that has flat patches during games. 4th time this year we have been in front during the last qtr and lost.

At the other end of the scale we have played the best two sides in the competition. Beaten one by a point and had a huge battle with the other before going down by 12pts after leading during the last qtr. Not that far off. Just a bit more development.

Pros:

Strong performance against a good team.
Accuracy. Probably kept us closer than we deserved.
Jones, Charlie, Docherty, Kreuzer, Gibbs.
Kerridge was pretty good, despite his disposal.

Cons:

Poor start. Set ups didn't look right to me, given how Adelaide likes to score.
Too many broken tackles. Not enough strong bodies.
Not enough impact from some of our younger players.
