Carlton slumped from fourth to eighth in a bad weekend for the navy blue faithful, but they are still closer to success than Mitch McGovern’s kick was to scoring.
The famous five always get a run: Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh, Charlie Curnow, Harry McKay and Jacob Weitering.It’s fun, but it’s garbage.
Weitering and Newman do switch angles, but they often take too long to do so , limiting the prospect that overlap run will follow and a free target will be easier to find inside 50. Cripps and Walsh can’t do any more to lead a midfield stacked with players who don’t often hit leading forwards on the chest and lack genuine leg speed.
They are closer to success than McGovern’s kick. But the final step is akin to the Hillary Step on Mount Everest. It will take courage and discipline to make it.Live ladders have become a modern-day transistor radio for football fans. Port Adelaide jumped from seventh to third and Carlton slumped from fourth to eighth. Essendon are still alive with Sydney to play Collingwood, Fremantle to play Geelong, the Lions to play the Giants and Carlton to play Hawthorn in round 22 so we can watch the live ladder get crazy again.
But this was a rare form of capitulation as Sydney started against Port Adelaide like Joe Biden’s campaign. The Power might yet give Ken Hinkley a chance to stand on the premiership dais and yell: “Warren Tredrea, you were wrong.”
