Re: midfield battle
We got slaughtered.
Cripps crushed us and Murphy was running rings around our guys, unchecked all game. Lambert was solid for us and besides that I thought we were pantsed. Going sideways and backwards like always.
Carlton looked fast and dangerous, always creating loose men and space. They really kicked themselves out of it and probably ran out of legs with their young list and blokes like Murphy having no pre-season. They lost the game for us.
