2018 Rd 6: In Game Attitude: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

Fish showing a bit. 

The Fish and Cripps™ combo could be something.

If not for our ridiculous amount of unforced error we'd have won comfortably.

That's why they train so hard???????

We have no idea how to play the modern game, we pick the wrong side to actually play the modern game. Selections are hopeless. How do you get any run out of defence when everyone is 6 foot 900 inches tall.

Very disappointed to lose that one. Bedtime.

yes, selections by MC were astonishing again....

I'd be sacking the skills coaches, you just cannot have AFL players missing so many easy targets by hand and foot. Handballs behind the running player, kicks favouring defenders, basics fail, basics fail, basics fail.

I'm not talking about in the heat, I'm talking about the sh1t you see in the open and from setups or free kicks.

I think we would've too. Never have a seen a side be their own worst enemy. I loved the look of Bevo $hitting himself when Charlie took that mark. Pity he shanked it big time.

I agree, but who can we play in the backline right now to get that run we desperately need?

Yes! Most sides are going shorter and we're going in reverse. Run out of half back is so important to the modern game and what are the types we select?

[LP]

It's easy to ask for run, but we had 200cm types dropping uncontested / unpressured marks inside D50 to gift the dogs goals.

Cunningham to start with. Why is O'Shea and Mullet in ahead of him.
