He's right over the past fortnight our midfield has been substantially weaker and Walsh trying to do too much and too demanding - not his fault just doesn't trust the players with him in the midfield past couple of weeks. Even looked weak in the midfield when Cerra was missing against Richmond round 14 and when he returned round 16 against the Saints he was short of match fitness - lost both games. Missing both Hewett and Kennedy in the midfield is hurting the team structurally in their clearance work. Need to build depth in this area.

Players are asked to lift to cover them, and they can do it for a while, but as the season drags on that becomes harder and takes it's toll.
We have a few players who desperatley need 'managing' (either on or off field) but as we accumulate more injuries we don't have that luxury.
We also assume that as injured players return they'll slot striaght back in as good as they were when they left.
The majority just don't.
Pretty sure that is a strong part of the issue, but you see even regulars who've been relatively injury free also lose their way, their focus. Likely not an either/or scenario but a combination of accumulative injuries, head space, continuity, adapting to change... all feeding each other.
With so much change, and increased expectation and greater demands, the deeper issues are also exposed.
Philosophically, and looking at it in a broader sense, I believe Pauly is absolutely correct in seeing this as the year Vossy and the new coaches learn about the list, themselves and cultural issues.

Either the article was a misprint or King got the numbers wrong as we don't have 13 wins .

Voss is acutely aware of the problem. I've heard him in interviews say that they can't win the contest all the time (and sometimes not able to break even) and that they need to find some other levers to pull. Here's hoping they find them soon.

Re Martin 100% agree.
It's not physically possible to play above yourself so not that. I'm thinking the long season is catching up. We had a very taxing style of play, which will take a couple of years before we a fit enough to carry it though. It's a good September style of play but takes a couple of seasons. We were brutal at the contest in the first half of the year but can't keep up now. We are on our way but it takes time.

About a year or so back we failed to stand by Plowman, after a heavy but fair collision between himself and some other spud who stacked on the contact. Plowman was penalised in a manner that was seen as unjust by all but a very limited few.
A few weeks back, we had the opportunity to stand by Hayes for what was a genuine contest and an unfortunately outcome contributed to by his opponent, we didn't and he was penalised.
From what is being rumoured I suspect Cripps is going on holiday now until 2023, probably a good thing for us, 2022 is a loss anyway given no Vic club is likely to win an interstate final.
If Cripps is suspended it is no use Carlton or it's fans complaining, in fact doing any complaining will probably just show up our own hypocrisy and double faced standards.
We are either a team, or we aren't, changing our ways now seems rather arbitrary!

Hayes and Plowman were absolutely shafted.
Cripps deserves 2 weeks.

I'm surprised Dangflog hasn't asked for Cripps to be deregistered!

Time to cut Jack Martin loose.....a handful of moments each match if you're lucky....then out injured again, usually with a calf, for 2-3 weeks. Took the big money payday in the first season so we could walk him through to the PSD but he's been a waste of time and money. A big bodied goal kicking midfielder would be handy in the trade period......De Goey anyone?
Re: AFL Rd 21 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Brisbane - pinot - 08-08-2022
I still think Cripps will be fine -if it wasn't in the air and was on the ground and two players competing for ground ball and one player got hit high and concussed how many times do we see players leaving the ground with cut faces, anyway nothing happens as it is in the contest ? If it was in the contest you expect players to go in hard - it was definitely not intentional just a hard at it contest and should be thrown out - it wasn't even an intentional nor careless bump he didnt go for a bump he went for the spoil and went in hard.
