2018 Rd 15: In Game Attitude: Carlton vs Brisbane

[crashlander]

Just not good enough. 63 points and 110 possessions down. Just not good enough.

Polson is a dud.

Runs like a forking headless chook. And that’s his only strength.

Does absolutely nothing. Nothing. Ever.

But let’s keep playing him.

x2 and been re-signed for 2 more years based on zero form IMO

9 Bris players have more processions than our highest pocession winner.  What does that say?

The urge is not there. They are not playing for each other. Just a bunch if individuals who happen to have the same colours on.

We insist on standing 10m off our opponents at all times no matter what. Brisbane have kicked the ball well and simply cut us to pieces as a result.

We've no leg speed Jeza.

Our smalls and mids cannot keep up with play and cannot apply pressure to the ball carrier.  It leaves our tall defenders guessing about which way to go, so they have no choice but to stand in no-mans land between opposition forwards and hope the kick is not accurate! But with a lack of pressure on the ball carrier the kicks rarely miss the target!

When you see the Lions ball carrier pick off a target inside F50, and the tall defender arrive late, you need to look at who was applying pressure to the kicker! You won't see it on TV though as the camera follows the footy, and our mids and forwards aren't near the ball carrier! But their absence from the picture is the real tell!

Spotlights on the drafting Jim...we lack talent, we cant compete with VFL standard players with poor skill levels....
Coaching is poor but SOS is under the pump IMO...GWS list hasnt lived up to the hype and our list rebuild looks like it either stalled or failed.....
The buck stops somewhere....I know we have injuries but we have no depth and a over reliance on two players....

If only we had VFL standard players.
Reckon a state league all stars team would beat us right now.

Some blokes can do no wrong!

Lang lies on the ground while Rayner sprints away from our mids unhindered into F50 and hits a target!

Commentators blame the defenders, but the defenders can't fix that problem!

[Barbs]

Hipwood has now outscored us

[cookie2]

Dunstall was saying that we have gone to Charlie in F50 17 times. The next highest is 2 times each to other players. Talk about predictability and lack of options!

Darcy Lang.  Infuriating

[crashlander]

If we were playing in Melbourne we wouldn't be losing by 10 goals: impossible for anyone to kick 10 goals in these conditions!  >
Not that we would win, but that is another story.
