Re: 2018 Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - cookie2 - 04-28-2018
Just out in the car listening to SEN. Dermie and Bob Murphy discussing the current spate of poor skill execution in the AFL. They were saying that it was probably partly down to the demands of coaches in the modern game to call for more and more rushed low percentage disposals in order to try and break through opposition defences, especially through the corridor. When they go wrong they are often disastrous and so many players are very nervous when executing them, especially the less skilled guys.
We seem to be afflicted more than our fair share! :o

See, this type of stat $hits me.
Yes, it is correct. But why pick 10?
What about 4 games or less? We had 3, they had 2.
Why not 30 games? or better yet, lets make it 33 games. From the 2 sides that ran out there last night...
Carlton had 10 players who have played less than 33 games.
Doggies had 7 players who have played less than 33 games.
Sure, they had less games on average than us too. But is the gap really that big?
Lets take the 2 most experienced players out of each team. (Simpson and Daisy, Suckling and Dalhaus)
You know the average amount of games played from the remaining 20 players
Carlton - 49.9
Dogs - 46.9
3 games difference between the rest. I'm sure the average age stats would show similar, but i CBF working them out too. Due to having 2 veterans on our list in Simpson and Thomas, it makes us appear a lot older and more experienced than the dogs, buts its just not the case.
Yes, they showed injury list of 2 teams.
I didn't see Picketts name on our list....nor did i see A. Silvagnis. I'm sure there are a couple of more that i've missed.
Dogs home game. Favourable comparisons.

Look we are only 3 seasons into a 166 game rebuild.

Error ridden disposals, fumbling, bad decisions, failure to take our opportunities and turnovers are what really cost us. Very very frustrating to watch in a game we should have won. >Yes but also lack of pressure in the fwd line. We are not manic enough to lock the ball in. We did it a couple of times but it isnt good enough. Putting pressure (tackling, locking it in the fwd 50, 1%ers is not an experience or age thing. Its attitude and not that hard. SPS is the classic example, looks like he just got out of bed as opposed to a footballer playing AFL on a Friday night. Just ambles along with no urgency. I realise some footballers seem to have time, he just looks lazy to me ATM.

Im gutted we lost, but we were so close to pulling off a win despite how poorly we played for the majority of the game. I said it in the In Game Thread, there was a point late in the last where if we kicked 2 in a row, the Bullies sphincters really would have tightened. Sure enough, we got one then Charlie got in great position and shanked one he really should have kicked. It would have been on like donkey kong but alas. Point is, we've got a hell of a lot of room for improvement but only need to do a few things better at certain points in games when they are in the balance. I say again, I'm gutted we lost (more so for the boys than us supporters) but it can turn around very quickly if we grab our chances when they present. We've got players in Cripps (who might give the Brownlow a nudge at this rate), Charlie, Fisher and eventually Dow and H who will drag people through the turnstyles. Fisher is getting better with every game, his contested numbers are increasing every week. Cripps in my view is now elite. If Charlie could stop getting caught so much, he will kick 10 in a game.

Old mate David Rhys-Jones hit a few btw he eyes on the way out with this post on a FB page. Love the passion Ol Boy
I used to think this page was for true blue Carlton supporters, not a bunch of whingers. None of you have played a game or have any real knowledge of the sacrifices and dedication made by a lot of good people, but are self appointed experts. After the last couple of weeks of bitching and moaning, I am happily going to unfollow this thread. Look up the meaning of supporter some of you fickle keyboard warriors. I’m sure in a couple of years when we have 50+ games into these kids and start climbing up the ladder, you so called experts will be claiming some sort of justification of knowing it would happen. I will continue to SUPPORT the club, it’s players, coaches and administration, not take the easy way out and throwing insults and derogatory comments at good people who are doing there best to get this club it’s 17th premiership. See ya

That's a bit of a whack from DRJ.
