VFL VFL Round 8 v GWS @ AIA - Sunday May 14 11:05am

[Soups]

Why was Kelly not put down back in last qtr as had no Talls and Backline was Useless In final qtr

Because they realized he can’t defend. A soft breeze blows him over.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

The midfield has gone to sleep

 

[Finnishpie]

Carmichael has been playing better than Macrae comfortably.

Different players. Macrae is the successor to Adams, Carmichael more the Lipinski type.

 

[TradeDraft]

The midfield has gone to sleep

Went home at 3qtr Time

 

[soreplums]

Just heard that we lost this game?

talk about a roller coaster

 

[legendstatus]

McCrae is vanilla and one paced hence why he isn’t getting a game despite accumulating possies

Carmichael is a bull looks quicker better in the air, accumulates possessions and kicks goal

No contest

Don‘t call our coach vanilla!

On another topic, Fin Macrae is a lot like his brother, an accumulator. And they’re both in the VFL at the moment. Macrae unlucky not to get a run In recent weeks. So, er, there is a contest.

points for conviction though!

[35Daicos]

So we have a bye again this week?! It doesn't seem like that long since we last had one!

 

[domus]

Took a diving mark, clutched shoulder. Stayed on for a couple of min then unsighted

Sorry Freddy but times up, I think. His body simply can't cope with the demands made by top level footy.

[sr36]

Both Deserve to play AFL on Form

Yeah, but not as much as the blokes playing AFL.

Wilson , Kelly, bianco are the first 3. Bianco stiff and might get a chance elsewhere but he lacks weapons for afl. After that it gets tougher.

No way Bianco will be delisted, you’re dreaming.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Went home at 3qtr Time

Not Carlton’s midfield, l was referring to ours.....

Who are you delisting from this list?

Thankfully not our decision as it's gonna be very very tough.

 

[No SPIN]

No contest

Would take McCrae’s decision making and disposal over JC.
JC grubber kicks are a huge concern.
Needs to clean that up to get clearly ahead of McCrae.

Must confess I haven’t seen any of this game.
I assume you’re referring to when he grabs the ball in traffic and slaps it on his boot?
A little more composure is what’s required and I was hoping he’d be learning that by now.

 

[Jen2310]

I saw Oscar at the VFL, and he is getting a bit better; but still sick. Sounds like its been the flu.
He was like "I'm not even sure I'm meant to be here" lol

 

[swoop42]

Remember people McRae is our coach, Macrae is our player.

Buggered if I know who this McCrae is everyone keeps talking about.

Allen's friend?

The mixing of the two is driving me McRazy

 

[Apex36]

Different players. Macrae is the successor to Adams, Carmichael more the Lipinski type.

Outside of their ability to kick goals and find the pill (Carmichael unproven at AFL level)I don’t see the comparison between the smooth moving Lipinski, who has excellent disposal, and the raw af Carmichael, who’s disposal is iffy at best.

Particularly when you consider Lipinski’s handpassing is sublime. Super creative,shows genuine vision. The kindest thing I can say about Carmichaels handpassing is that it’s a work in progress.

To be fair, when in time and space, Carmichael’s kicking can be pretty good. It’s the lack of composure when under pressure that is the problem

It’s the role they play. Half forward and outside.
