This! Instead of going into this game in self preservation mode - North will set themselves for their “Grand Final” as Carlton have gone back to “flaky” mode.
As most players should.Yeah, in hindsight Cez and Cottrell should have come back though the 2s.

They sure do take too long identifying where Charlie’s advantage is at times….This move has been good for Charlie and the team.
He gets involved in link up play and it gets him away from the wrestling matches with KPDs which is terrible viewing.

Thinking about our year to date we have only really looked like a top 2 team when TDK is tearing teams apart. First GWS game he kicked 3 and was the perfect 3rd tall ruck, his 4 game purple patch and the first quarter against GWS.
Need elite Tom back pronto.
^ 100% this. Charlie continually wrestling and refusing to lead into space - where he can use his natural spring (like Jarrad Waite) it does my head in. We have 2 power forwards, which is a massive luxury these days, yet we don't exploit teams defenses with them. It's got me stumped why not. It's hard to criticize your system when you are winning but we should be absolutely ripping teams apart with the firepower we have. Just having Charlie and Harry lead to opposite sides and opening up the center of the ground for our mids and and splitting OP defenses seems an option we hardly ever use. We'd rather bomb everything in and hope that our forwards out-mark 2 or 3 defenders. It's nuts.Obvious thing was he got on the move where as more often than not Charlie wants to wrestle or worse he & Harry end up flying for the same ball.
Charlie looked much better late in the game when he got further up the ground, just needs to do the team thing as required and nail the regulation set shots.
TBH if we dont switch on and our mids dont help out our defence more, I think we will get exposed again. Getting Weightman to help to negate Weiters was a pretty good move, and TBH I'm surprised other teams dont try to negate Weiters more often.Cant see us dropping this one
gws and dogs obviously worked out a way to beat us. Clarko is experienced enough to try and expose our weaknesses as much as possible - nothing new in this …what all coaches try and do.
However what Clarko wants and what his team is able to executes might not align.
No current season stats available
Yeah its improved this season, but still way too many instances of Harry and Charlie contesting the same ball (usually while in a flat footed wrestle with their respective opponents as you say).^ 100% this.

Perhaps it's a strong offensive midfield but defensively weak. To me that is what I see.We have a strong midfield, solid wings, strong rucks and the best tall forwards in the comp, yet we are 15th for points against and we concede the most points of any team in the comp from stoppage.
So our team which is a stoppage based beast, is the worst stoppage defensive team in the comp.
This is system and not players, last season we were strong defensively, this year we aren’t, it’s not a player issue.
TBH I think Buku Khamis was stiff not to get any votes for his job on CharlieBont getting a vote is such bevo behaviour. That bloke couldn’t possibly let Cripps get votes and not Bont
Charlie had 10 scoring shots…..yeah BK started well but nearly got his pants pull down. I say nearly, as Charlie made a meal of it.TBH I think Buku Khamis was stiff not to get any votes for his job on Charlie
Khamis had some nice moments, but hardly did a job on Charlie.TBH I think Buku Khamis was stiff not to get any votes for his job on Charlie
I know its easy to find footage to suit an argument, but the footage they showed on, On the couch where we had most of our players set up on the attacking side of a stoppage and when the Dogs got possession were able to walk the ball out with no opposition, Buckley just highlighted that Acres should have been set up on the defensive side, filling the hole the Dogs were able to exit through, if we win the stoppage Acres would still be in a position to get in the chain.Perhaps it's a strong offensive midfield but defensively weak. To me that is what I see.
