1. Bailey Dale is Fredo Corleone, to my Michael. Two tackles in three games, the exact opposite of 2016 Finals. For all my defence of you and this is what you do to me. His time with us needs to go out fishing with Al on a big lake.
2. Gardner over Schache? Hubris and taking everyone as fools.
3. If not for 5 minutes of play by Suckers in the third, this was another loss to the 18th team for sure.

Re: Three things you have learned round 13 2019 v Carlton.
1. We are incapable of playing four full quarters
2. I officially have no idea what the correct interpretation of holding the ball is anymore
3. Please only be jarring of the knee...

Re: Three things you have learned round 13 2019 v Carlton.
1/ I don't want Tom Libba to be injured long term again. I mean if he is then we just wait until he has healed but for God's sake...
2/I love beating Carlton.
3/ When we play out full quarters and games then we are going to be a bloody good team.

Re: Three things you have learned round 13 2019 v Carlton.
1. Tim English is improving every game.
2. Dale has confirmed what I feared
3. Gardner still very raw, but he was plying his 2nd game, so not too concerned yet.

1. Tim English is going to be just fine.
2. We will be Charlie Curnow's bunny through his career.
3. Channel 7s stalking of the security guards is adding fuel to a completely overblown fire.

1. Daniel should not be given the kick in.
2. Cordy should not be CHB.
3. The second ruck role needs some thought

Re: Three things you have learned round 13 2019 v Carlton.
1. Lipinski is absolutely part of our core midfield group. He's added a real hard edge to his game.
2. The emergence of Dunkley has made Bont a far better player.
3. English is starting to imprint himself on games. That forward 50 mark in the last was huge.

Re: Three things you have learned round 13 2019 v Carlton.
1. Dunkley is one of the better mids in the comp - works both ways. Beast.
2. Lipinski is making strides forward now. Great size, uses it well and is now finding more of the ball through winning it in close. Always been a fan - think he can develop into another big mid.
3. Cordy as a defender? I still don’t really see it.

Lipinski is an interesting one. I didn't think he was going to be a player but I will have to re-think that.
Libba is a key player for us.
It seems Aaron Naughton is rapidly becoming to go-to bloke if you want to scrag someone and get away with it.

Re: Three things you have learned round 13 2019 v Carlton.
1/ Our inability to curb momentum swings is frustrating.
2/ It's an extremely important last 10 games for a number of players on our list who are treading water.
3/ As per other comments Lipinski is going to make it, how or why others were preferred to him for the first 6-7 weeks has me staggered.

1. I'm a football dunce but it took hell and high water for Trengrove and Lipinski to be bought into this side. What the hell for!!
2. I am glad it was so close, in the end. We have to look at the cracks in this side.
3. Anyone who comments on Caleb Daniel and begins throwing around AA for his 80% disposal efficiency is not paying attention towhen and where the other 20% goes south.

I was sitting near someone who was asking those very questions.
Lipinski had a great preseason but we seemed to lose all faith after one bad game in the JLT
Trengove should have been playing as well and I think it was the JLT game in Ballarat that stamped his card

The problem with Daniel and Cordy is they are put in situations where they are not able to succeed. Daniel (my favourite player) can kick accurately over 40 metres, but that doesn’t get the ball far enough from opposition goal even with a 20 run. If the ball goes to a contest it can spill back into the 50 metre arc and the opposition gets a shot at goal. And it often does spill when we have such a short backline. We need a better plan for restarting play. We also need some other plans too.
