Re: Rd 12: Post Game Purgatory: Carlton vs St. Kilda - BlueAvenger - 06-16-2016
It was glaring for all to see our lack of leg speed against the aints. We desperately need an injection of pace and class in the Midfield at the end of the year.
Here's hoping guys like Buckley, Boekhorst and Cunningham can sort that out in the second half of the year.
Murph isn't slow either and it would nice to have him back in the midfield rotation as well.
Tutt has been averaging almost 30 touches a game and is super quick, Josh Fraser has been singing his praises. Can he finally transfer that VFL form into regular senior games. I'd like him to. At 25 he is still young enough to make a decent fist of it.

All our guys looked very heavy legged ie slow last Sunday. Wondering whether training loads had been amped up - for whatever reason....?
And guys like 2E, Bryne, Lamb, Sumner aren't slow!

At 25 he is still young enough to make a decent fist of it.One thing that's been glaringly obvious this year to me is the "cans" and the "cannots" stick out like dogs proverbials. Those who get the new game plan have embraced it with confidence and have flourished. Those who don't have struggled and have banished or left to practice it in the 2's. Jamo for instance is the prime example where in the games he has played, he seemed lost at sea. Tutt may be going great guns in the 2's and if form warrants it and there is a spot, he should get a go in the 1's. Whether he is a "can" or a "cannot" will be seen very, very quickly. When executed well, we seem to be able to beat anyone, when not executed well, we cant beat an egg (e.g St Kilda with multiple outs). It is brutal and ruthless that's for sure.
Go Blues.

Tutt was fairly quiet in the first half against Box Hill but picked up in the second half. He seems more confident and the poor decision-making and skill errors have been eliminated from his game. The question is whether he can reproduce that at senior level.

Tutt hasn't nearly been as bad as people make out.

He has one major problem, it's the same problem that saw Jones dropped, they take options on when to compete.
Jones was cemented in the side due to good efforts despite his lack of a result, it wasn't until he started choosing "not to go" a couple of times in his last game that saw him get it in the neck!
Tutt would be in the 1s by now if he can eliminate those times he chooses "Not to Go"!

I thought Jones was stiff to be dropped after the North game, we are actually undefeated when Casboult and Jones have both played. Having two big targets gives the opposition more to think about.

I don't think Jones chooses not to go; it's more that he misreads the play and/or has no gas in his tank.
Same with Tutt but it's more lack of confidence in his case.

Bolton has made it clear that making an effort is not an option, not matter whether you are stuffed and cannot impact the contest, you must be seen to make the effort regardless of the circumstance. When I saw him stop twice I knew he'd get the bullet, coaches think that is unforgivable and it was the first time this season he reverted to his old ways.
He'll learn, and from the VFL reports he has learned, and he has the perfect coach teaching him.

It'll be interesting to see if Jones gets a gig ahead of Jaksch. That would be a bad indicator for the latter - the clock is definitely ticking as far as he's concerned.
