2018 Rd 20: Post Game Calm & Civilized Discussion: Carlton vs GWS
#11
The result shouldn't really surprise, GWS are a well skilled and hard at it side and they'll take some beating this season, we are injury hit and very inexperienced.

I think it's the exact opposite.

We are over-structured, over-coached and over-drilled which makes us too predictable for any half-talented basic footballing opponent!

Freewill doesn't allow for that sort of performance, it takes a significant amount of planning to be that bad!

As I've said before until we get our player development sorted out we are in big trouble. We are crap at player development so recruiting blokes who need a lot of development will mean we double down on being poor!

You can draft athletes if you have good development coaches if you don't then don't do it!

Potentially 15.

They had 2 off and then a blood rule. Unclear if he was replaced immediately or not.

12 months ago i saw these 2 sides go at it on the same venue.

Carlton won by 1 point.

Only difference was today they played a handicap match and won by 100 points.

You know how injury hit they are?

They had 16 on the ground and outscored us 7 goals to 1 in the last qtr. That you don't have patience with. That's a sacking.

Kreuzer, Gibbs and Docherty are big outs, especially when Kreuzer is replaced by Lobbe, Docherty by O'Shea and Gibbs by Graham.

Suns are trying to outdo us. 77 - 7 halfway through the 2nd quarter.

People are getting too hung up over the 1 or 2 player differential. Injuries, too many bad losses, too many kids/spuds..........you get to the end of the season and all these factors start to take a cumulative toll.

They could have had 12 on the park in the last q, no difference. We are simply too far behind the pack and have a lot of ground to make up.
