Round 2 - 2022

[Booney]

You couldn't possibly trust Carlton but geez there list ticks a fair few boxes that you need in modern footy to win a flag.

1. Big bodied beast of a midfielder who can take a game away in a quarter (Cripps)
2. Rolls Royce midfielder (Walsh)
3. Big boy forward with a presence (McKay)
4. Speed in the backlines (Saad/Williams)
5. Real good Intercept mark in defence (Weitering)

6. Team defence.
7. Forward pressure.

They've been massive gaps in previous years. Opposition waltzed out of our forward line and through our backline like it was swiss cheese. No point having all of the top 5 without the bottom two.

I'm not getting carried away just yet.

Forward pressure comes from that defensive zone.

There's no doubt Voss has been involved in that at Port, our back half zone has been one of the best for 3 or 4 years and when that zone pushes up with the ball forward it makes it hard to slice through. You spend more time forward than the opposition and while it makes it harder to be clean inside 50 ( in the first 2 weeks Carlton have had lower disposal efficiency and lower I50 disposal efficiency and won both games ) with the congestion around the ball it means you're winning the territory game.

Can’t go to tomorrow nights game Port v Hawks as I’m unwhashed. I can’t find anyone to use them so if anyone would like to go tomorrow night please PM me and I will try and get them to you. They are premium seats in great spot and won’t cost you any money, I just want them being used.

We are fielding what is left of the list and then tops.

Basically if you are even a rookie you are getting a game. It's anyone with boots on the list put them on.

In short, I would be picking North this weekend.

Come on guys, sausage and coke .

Will the crowd storm the field when he kicks the 1000?

Yes in Round 5

[woodublieve12]

Blakey reported for quite possibly for the softest thing in the history of footy

[Armchair expert]

How shit are Essendon?

[carey]

Commentators ’Lloyd didn’t rush it as he didn’t know the rule’ pffft what a load of bullshit, he’s exactly like Aaron Hall, Kane Cornes and to a lesser extent McCrae from the dogs, they much prefer to ‘gain’ a super coach handball than to the team thing and concede a behind. The modern game is clouded by bullshit possession numbers.

Jake Lloyd, Aaron Hall or Kane Cornes 45 touches or Cyril’s 12?

If you have any clue about the game at all, you should know the answer.

[woodublieve12]

Can we all just appreciate that Isaac Heeney’s 3 second quarter goals were all snapped superbly on his non-preferred left boot. Class

[MW]

Stengle back in form

Wonder what this Buddy 1000 goal ball will be worth and what odds you can sneak off with it!

[Armchair expert]

HERE THEY COME!

[Jim05]

How awesome are those scenes, get out there!

[MW]

call it off, its over anyway. They are getting crushed.

[woodublieve12]

Buddy…. WORTH EVERY CENT!!!!
