He is a finisher/accessory player who needs delivery and a weak opponent, not the likes of Alir who ran off him all the time in the first half. Just the wrong player for us and would be better suited at West Coast when Allen takes JKs spot.

My ladder prediction for this season was 9th-11th, and I have seen little that would change my mind. As long as the effort is there and we can get some semblance of our best 22 on the park, the wins will come IMO.

Its created high match winning expectations for a player who will really only feature when the team plays well. I have been on his case but its very hard for a player of his type to perform with such a poor kicking team.
He had silver service at the Crows but has to make his own lunch with us..

I don't think our forward line functioned very well (obviously) - seriously missed Jack. McGovern is a poor replacement at this stage.
But their back line was able to put our forwards under pressure. Ours was not. Our back line is a joke.
Teague deserves quite a lot of criticism- as does the selection committee. Too many moves just haven't worked. Picking Williamson was a disaster. Samo at half back just has not worked. Cunningham sitting in the 2s is just ridiculous. We need Newman back desperately and we need to play Jack Martin at half back or Jack Silvagni or Cunningham or Stocker. The guys we've got are not up to it... And it is frustratingly obvious yet Teague keeps fronting up with the same sh1ttruck defence getting the same sh1tty result every time we get under scoreboard pressure.

Cripps and Doc simple stuffups really hurt and deflating. Umps were crucifying us early and evened it up later when it didn't matter. Port are better than us. We make too many stupid decisions and cock up gold plated opportunities.

Having said all that I actually think things aren't quite as bad as they seem. We had more clearances, inside 50s, etc. than a team that is pretty hard at it. There is definitely something to work with. We just can't get anywhere near a decent run with injuries. How much fun would it be to see how good we could be with Charlie, Jack, TDK, Marchbank, Martin, Newman, Fisher, Kemp, etc. in the team?
Seem like 2 or 3 years of constantly dealing with a quarter to a third of our best team out injured every week.
Re: Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 5: Carlton vs Port Adelaide - jeza - 04-18-2021
Port by comparison probably had 2 of their best 22 missing. What a dream position to be in!

JSOS or no JSOS when our midfield goes missing - or butchers the ball, any defence is going to buckle under extreme pressure.
The midfield was again in gaga land defensively last night. The abject lack of energy in the group was extraordinary. Noting likely Crippa injured and Williams too (or unfit).
Even Sam W. looked jaded.
tackle count?
Cottrell, Jones, Plow, Willo - bagels ffs!
Doc, Kennedy - 1
Levi, Guv, Gibbo, Murph, SPS - 2
Eddie, Crippa, H, Newnes, Pitto - 3
16 of our 22 - 3 or less tackles in 120 minutes of footy.
9 tackles inside 50, they had 15.

No question. Even half of that list.
It doesn't however excuse the lack of intent, hunger and poor decision making shown by so many last night.
It's a privilege to play professional AFL footy, let alone to don the famous Old Dark Navy Blue.
It's really quite simple if one had to summarise our current dilemma....
Not enough of the blokes who run out there give a f.....
