Re: 2018 Rd 2: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs Gold Coast - LP - 03-31-2018
We better start the Rnd 3 Pre-game thread.
I'm tipping there will be 90+ at that game, and I'm not talking thousands!

Jones...roving back /follower (he's too loose to play one on one but he does provide contest and effort)
Casboult forward...not to ruck...to be replaced by McKay or Kerr sooner rather than later.
Persist with Silvagni
If Kreuzer's not available Lobbe or Phillips must come in.
Bolton's honeymoon is over.
McKay had a good one with the NB's today as did Silvagni. Whoever's there of the two, Levi or Harry, has to help Kreuzer ruck though. Levi's rucking has improved alot, as he showed last week, but he is still a back up forward/ruck. Whoever had the dumb idea to let him be the only ruck needs shooting.
Still, with the lack of workrate, urgency, effort, which leads to poor skills, the ruck was the least of our problems. Have all those other aspects right like last week and you'd barely notice getting smashed in the ruck.
Given it's the 3rd year that's the most disappointing loss since Bolton took over as we now, rightly. expect so much more.

It's early, I'm just full of angst. I just want to see progress that's all.

The two most disappointing things for me were:
1. Poor effort (at least to me it looked poor);
2. Senior Players Impact.
Thoughts on the above?

The blowtorch is on!
Yes, Bolts has to learn we expect alot more now. Not necessarily the 8, just alot more.

That's a massive assumption, that SpecialK only misses a week!

Rather that AFL what disappointing try to think of something positive. I can't (maybe Charlie doing his thing again)
We were lucky it was only against GC. A better opposition would have made that a 100+ point loss.

Intensity and effort was definitely down.
Murphy was disappointing but he'll be the captain until next year when Docherty should take over.
Simmo was Simmo...he's trying to do the Docherty role but nowhere near as effective.
I thought Daisy had a fair game...a few mistakes but effort and contest was better than most.

I at at least expect basic skills like kicking and hand passing to targets most of the time and we couldn't even do that today.
