Not sure if it’s paranoia but can’t help but feel TDK does things for his highlight reel for his purported monster contract coming from Sydney. Just does not seem like he is doing his flying for balls for the team but rather for self.
Felt also that JSOS was making really silly errors. Also felt he was playing intentionally bad?
Things just don’t make sense watching the games.

Quote:Carlton coach Michael Voss has backed Patrick Cripps to bounce back after the Blues' captain lowered his colours in a deflating loss to Essendon.
Cripps did not register a single effective kick with Champion Data statisticians at the MCG on Sunday night.
The superstar midfielder missed the target by foot four times from 19 disposals under attention from Bombers duo Archie Perkins and Jye Caldwell.
Voss did not make any excuses for last year's Brownlow Medal winner in the aftermath, declaring Cripps fully fit.
"He's completely fine," Voss said after the 34-point defeat.
"Sometimes you lose a bit of form and he's running through a little bit of that.
"There's a couple of players that have been in the same boat.

Hard to find many positives outta that sh#t show!
Young has become almost Plowman like when he gets the ball. He's a liability in the backline now.
Acres' disposal skills were never elite but can't question his efforts again last night. Turns it over a bit but he put his body on the line a few times which is more than most of the rest.
Kemp has been solid and his kicking was a feature. He just needs to be left in the team now.
Remove the errors and costly misses in the first half and we should've been leading at 1/2 time. But what happens in that 20 minutes during half time where they just completely turn off?? Every week it's the same thing....one diabolical quarter of football costs us the games.
No idea where to from here unfortunately. Watching on TV I could see players arguing with each other. Crippa looks almost disinterested at times. He can't chase or tackle and is having zero impact on games now. None of our midfielders kick goals. Motlop tries hard and runs and chases....but that's about it. Jack Martin did his usual 10 minute cameo and probably should've kicked 3 goals.
The well looks pretty dry in the VFL too. Cunningham did enough to suggest he should come in next week. Hopefully Pittonet is able to get up.

We should pay our players like we pay our lawyers.
Break the game up into 10 minute segments.
If you perform in that period you get paid for that period.
We'd put a dent in some payouts to certain players....or maybe give them a reason to stay on task.

Spot on !!!
Re: AFL Rd 13 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon - LordLucifer - 06-12-2023
Why was Jack Martin selected to play ??
Unfit, lacks the ability to play 100 minutes & is very lazy on defensive acts.
For me, he epitomises the rubbish attitude amongst our playing list, its always conditional and on his terms.
I'm not advocating a total rebuild but the razor gang has to come out again in the off-season.
Re: AFL Rd 13 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon - cookie2 - 06-12-2023
Two major issues at the heart of our problems imo.
1. We can't kick goals.
2. We can't handle opposition pressure.
As a result we go to water and lose all confidence. I don't know what we have to do but to me it's obvious that there is little or no onfield leadership being exercised. Our morale is completely shot.
Re: AFL Rd 13 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon - pew2 - 06-12-2023
young is as weak as water but the way ball got delivered to 2mp no 1 could have stopped it. my brother said we wont beat ess 3 weeks ago that how bad we are ,and if we dont trade and recruit well we are truly F>>>>d. Dodoro done a great job at ess unlike sos who failed. draper ,martin,no 22, hobbs,caldwell , 2mp, (no parish,shiel,and 3 1st rnd selections not playing ) .

Quote:“THE ownership is on us.”
Charlie Curnow said the Round 13 result lies with the playing group, after an inability to convert once again left Carlton ruing a missed opportunity against Essendon......
......“Us as a forward line and as a team, the efficiency inside forward 50 plays a role . . . and we didn’t get the job done in that area,” Curnow said.
“You come into the rooms at half time and we were doing the things we set out to do in the first quarter and at the start of the game. We were ticking a lot of boxes and felt like it was going to come if we kept putting ourselves in the right spots.
“Kicking 3.10 [to half time] obviously hurts, but the ownership is on me also. A lot of the shots were outside 50 in tough spots, and when you’re relying on those inside of shots from 0-30, it can be really difficult.”
