Re: AFL Rd 16 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs St Kilda - shawny - 07-01-2022
Thought it was the worst defensive performance for the year. Poor kicking turnovers were very costly tonight and as has always been the case in recent years out of form small forwards managed to hit the scoreboard against us yet again.
Our tall forwards were drawn wide and too far out way too often resulting in harder shots on goal. Still goal kicking was crap but couldn’t get one on one deep entries to Charlie or Harry - Ratten had a win in coaches box imo as we should have been able to get those one on ones but just couldn’t. Harry had a massive height advantage in the last and still we couldn’t use it at all to our advantage.
Hewitt and Cerra were a lot less creative then normal and usual suspects that struggle when the pressure is on coughed it up resulting in goals.
Next week is another tough game imo and if we play like we did tonight we won’t get those points either.
Don’t see us as a genuine top 4 team and will still need to find 3 more wins to play finals so next week is a massive game we just can’t afford to lose as it gets tougher from there on.

In it, but unable to get there due to the injuries we had.
Last week should've been the result of this week.
Despite injuries, pulled together to squeeze out a decent win.
We lucked out last week.....this is more about where we are at with injuries etc.

Honey provides very little and looks way off the level at the moment and as much as I’m tired of watching Martin do sfa would swap them next week if he’s available.
Also thought it was Jacks worst game in a long time. Butchered the ball several times which is usually his strength.
Hard to find a real winner for us tonight on the field or in the coaches box.

We need Pittonet back so Jack can go back to being a third tall forward FT.

When the going gets tough, players are found wanting. Had too many passengers tonight. As inconsistent and spasmodic as Jack Martin has been, if he's fit for next week he has to come in for Honey, who basically only did one really good thing tonight. Weiters in for Kemp is a lock. Has to be. No question. Cerra was so way off tonight he can only improve. I hope. O'Brien was shocking tonight but he has credit in the bank. Newnes while not as bad was equally non-existent. Lesser lights have to play at heir optimum all the time so when we have a double-whammy ineffective forward line (Charlie (1.4 seriously?) & Harry were putrid) and non-clearance out of the middle it relieves the pressure. I can basically recall in my drunken stupor that we had at least 5 directly in front kickable goals squandered during the course of the game.
Charlie x 2
TDK
Hewett
Durdin.
Not talking about on the angle stuff. Directly in front and within the 50 arc. Just atrocious. I may have missed some, oh that's right Jack's left foot snap 20 metres out. So 6 goals gone begging
Positives were that we actually got through the game without injury (at this stage)
Motlop did enough to get another game.
Thought Cripps was outstanding.
Doc does not know the meaning of defeat.
What I wouldn't give for Ed Curnow to have been back for this game. Don't forget him folks. A lot would think that his time is over but until I see him play I'm not giving up on him.
We move on. Another chance to prove ourselves next week against a team we should comfortably get over.
We lost to the F#%$@n Aints FFS. A very average team IMO Horrendous result.

Without saying anything about Soj in defence, he's not really played there for us either. You're thinking of his old man and making a bit of a guess.

Whole side were off the boil from the first bounce. Field kicking was poor (especially Silvagni) and Cerra looked injured.
LOB and Newnes couldn’t cope with the higher pressure and we would be far better served by Dow - as I’ve said before the notion that Dow can’t play wing is nonsense.
Honey and Durdin simply weren’t effective against the run of Hill and Sinclair and they didn’t work hard enough to get to the fall of the contest.
Harry and Charlie’s contests and kicking - not good.
Weitering, McGovern, Pittonet and Cunningham will all help.

Hopefully in our development we learn from games like today.
This team will get a flag but along the way crap like today happens as we develop further. The season has been about developing new habits but some of the d habits take time to erase.

We were thrashed in the centre square, which made it hard to win. We didn't squash either Hill or Sinclair, who are rubbish when the heat is on. Our kicking for goal was deplorable, and that is being kind.
