    Kennedy has been off this year. He hasn't dominated at the stoppages like in the past and his disposal by both hand a foot have been erratic. I don't think it's the sole reason, but certainly a reason why we're not doing well in the clearances.

A stat was shown on the screen late in that 2nd Q. 8 to 6 in Carlton's favour of marks from opposition kicks. Do we just cop that Kennedy and McGlynn turn it over by foot every week. Hanners off the outside of the boot (because he has no right foot) was poor late in that quarter, caused a turnover and a shot for goal. Anyone think we are over possessing.
          Add Shaw to the list of constant butcherers of the ball! We really need to sharpen up or else bring in others who can kick!

            We are still butchering the ball in our forward 50. We have almost double the amount of entries into F50 and yet nothing to show for. Pathetic.

                Hey all I care about is that we win - don't care how we do it (well I'm not a fan of the ugly play of old of course) and as long as we have no injuries - I'm happy!

                    Mainly meant his tap accuracy, but yes, he's winning the duel.

                        Winning hit outs but losing the clearances.

                        Granted we're playing Carlton but Reid is filling into Grundy's role nicely down there. Plus love that he's continued his great recent form of late.

                            Over the season I have been looking at the clearances especially as this is a problem area for us. I have figured part of the problem. Pykie might get a lot of tap outs but most go straight to ground or a contested ball. He rarely puts the ball to our advantage. When he hits tyhe ball longer he is good. His long punches last season were wonderful and broke several games open through runners getting onto the ball and kicking goals or hitting players up who did kick goals. This season he has been pretty insipid.

                              It's so hard to gauge things against Carlton, but our backline looks a lot quicker on the exits without Reg. JPK had a good quarter.
