To be fair to the forwards in the first half the entries were terribly shallow.Pitto bobbing up to kick 2 junk time goals and be our only multiple goal scorer beyond our KPF, was a good troll on how ineffective the forwards were as well as the delivery to them
Delivery was poor throughout the game but so was the positioning. It reverted to the bomb it long tactic and they all converged to the spot, rather than isolate and spot the player in the best position.To be fair to the forwards in the first half the entries were terribly shallow.
I can’t agree.
Off field we are in a great spot and we are stable
I think our recruiting has been more than okay. I still think our list, although needs improving, is much better than we are showing
I do have issues with giving average players long term contracts. Cottrell Durdin etc made no sense to me. Borderline player should be on one year deals
Fitness and game plan is my number one issue
Hawthorn's small half-back flankers and forward flankers - Moore, Watson, Hardwick, Morrison, etc, are quick though. Totally out-ran us (again) when we played against them.
Much needed for the big fellas highlight reel …Pitto bobbing up to kick 2 junk time goals and be our only multiple goal scorer beyond our KPF, was a good troll on how ineffective the forwards were as well as the delivery to them
My favourite part was when we had the ball at half back or wing and stood around like shags on rocks having no ****en clue what to do next. But then! Inspired by the tactical genius of Voss we bombed it to a pack.I’m still upset by yesterday’s performance - the margin did not show our ineptitude - we weren’t even competitive!
The worst was all that bombing to their players
Genuine question: do you recall us pressing well with Pitto Kennedy Walsh Cripps Hewett on ball?Understandably yes at times leg speed is a factor when pressing, although I’ve seen us last year execute it to a much better level, this year at the ground i only noticed us getting it right on only 2/3 occasions…
I’m not sure what the instructions are from our coaching staff or if the players are just as much to blame but we are so poorly organised, we tend to just guard dead space allowing opposition teams to move the ball far to easily…
This. 100% this.What I'd like to see is one or two of our coaching panel that have had previous senior coaching experience . I hope that we pursue somebody like Simpson. Collingwood had at least two last year, Hardwick had a couple at Richmond along the journey, as did Clarkson at Hawthorn. I'm not suggesting a mentor for Voss, he isn't a rookie coach but I'm sure that somebody who has been in the hot seat before would be a good person to bounce ideas off.
Would love to know if the game plan included Motlop and Durdin waiting goal side of a contest 20m out instead of front and centre. Left us horribly exposed to sling shot.The game plan, is the main driver that makes us slow..
Hawks don’t have a lot of leg speed in the midfield, they spread from the contest like no other and use their elite ball users (most of their side)
This.Most of the issues from last night were raised and discussed by the majority on here prior to the game.
It wasn’t rocket science. What we did and selected defied basic common sense
Problem with Cook and sayers is they don’t need their roles and are on the verge of retiring from them. There is no hunger passion or drive coming from them. And this year they’ve been completely invisible.I always try and look for reasons and the positives
This year has really drained me. We have gone backwards and the evidence proves it
Until we change some key issues we will struggle
Big off season for Cook & Co
All part of it…Would love to know if the game plan included Motlop and Durdin waiting goal side of a contest 20m out instead of front and centre. Left us horribly exposed to sling shot.
****ing moronic.
This.
Sometimes we disagree on here about selections.
I’ve never ever seen total unanimous “wtf” about Cinc not getting picked. Some had him identified for Neale. Most for Zorko. None, not one single poster didn’t want him in the side.
Now some may say “what would fans know”? Well….to not have a single fan calling for him to be dropped yet he gets dropped is incredible. I can’t recall that happening before.
I also can’t recall anyone asking for Lord to be dropped. His tackling and pressure and end to end running was great.
What am I saying? Either the ENTIRE thousands of Carlton fans are wrong…..
OR
Maybe just maybe
The coaches (namely Voss) had a colossal **** up of a game.
Now…..it would at least give some small comfort to hear him admit it.
But he didn’t. Why do I want him to admit it? To see he is humble and able to reflect on himself and learn.
He is really worrying me.
After 16 years in the coaching caper, 8 as senior, 8 assistant, getting a mentor is like bolting training wheels on a Harley.
And what message does it send to the other guys....Can’t agree with this part. Docherty is senior enough to know he’s not ready. Team before yourself. Putting his hand up to play a final was selfish. Set himself a goal after he did his knee to play again this season and put his goal ahead of what was best for the team.
He not alone -- SW is one of the worst field kicks for an A grade elite inside to outside player in the competition .MK needs to drastically improve his kicking into the fwd50.
