It’s the contest that will decide who gets to play Brisbane Lions in the preliminary final, Charlie Curnow on Steven May is the final within the final in Carlton’s clash with Melbourne.
Melbourne are wondering how they find a key forward, or at least find a functioning forward line. But the semi-final is as likely to be decided by their full-back, not their full-forward.
in what was a fascinating tussle with May. But can Melbourne win if Curnow gets off the chain against May? They have Jake Lever as a go-to, but May is the key. The temptation for Melbourne would be that after bringing in a replacement for Brayshaw – probably James Jordon – that they consider their own point of difference player in Petracca at full-forward.
Of course, there are difficulties with the Petracca’s Paddock in modern footy. The first is that for large chunks of Thursday night’s game all 36 players were inside the 50-metre arc. In the last quarter they were all in Melbourne’s third of the ground.
Ross Lyon, Kingsley’s old mentor when he was a Saints assistant, returned to the Saints and engendered hope and, as much as they attempted to douse it, expectation. After the elimination final and the exposure of a clear gulf in skill and class with the way GWS moved the ball and scythed through St Kilda, there was a sense of the teams finding their truer level.
