Missed a small crumber/pressure forward all night. We had enough entries but if no one took a mark the Blues won it and bounced out of our D50. Maurice coming on late finally gave us someone who pressured the Carlton rebounders.

Don't really understand why he was dropped in the first place.

I think he was sore and tired. But clearly showed tonight again that he has the tools.

Bar his brain fade when he came on (not on his man, allowed Cripps to handball and go forward for goal) he was an excellent injection of forward pressure.

Agree with the sentiments but think we should keep in mind it’s much easier to do this coming on for 10-15mins against tired opposition. Agree though I think we would have structured up better with a pure small fwd.
