Post Game Parlay: AFL 2019 Rd 3: Carlton vs Sydney

[townsendcalling]

Liam Jones take a bow!!  The perpetual whinger only got 2 and one was a gift. He’s coming of age, and with Weitering more composed, those 2 places are looking far more settled.

Let’s hope nobody is falling further in love this week

Just dont work hard enough on the spread, too fumbly at key moments and don’t take our chances - we’re just not as professional as Sydney.

Carried Gibbons, Polson  today

Setterfield isn’t giving Cripps a chop out. Kennedy May be better.

Too many mistakes/execution errors from Dow, McKay, Simpson and to a lesser extent Thomas

Plowman, Newman nothing games

E Curnow Jekyll and Hyde

Desperate for speed of Cunningham, Pickett, Docherty, Williamson. Even Lang

Liam Jones take a bow!! .............

Agree.

Unfortunately warriors come to an end, and for Simmo it’s as far away as Williamson’s return.

Sinclair was very good as well today, really was the dominant big man and we had nobody who could get over him. That makes a big difference in the new format.

The stats were quite similar, but the Swans had a lot more handballs, that run and carry and linking needs trust and confidence, I don't know we have that in our team yet.

It's frustrating for all of us, but it's a stepping stone and a hell of a lot better than floggings.

We've been pushing good sides hard for a few years. We don't win though. This is a game that should be won at home given the side we have now.

Going to do my best Terry Wallace impersonation. If anyone says "Honorable loss" i'll spew up!!!

Bolton should be sacked.
He doesn’t have a working game plan and is consistently out coached by the opposition.
His tactics don’t work - every week we watch as the opppsition just run through the zone, but he doesn’t switch defensive structure. He has drilled us to play along the boundary to reduce the risk of a turnover, but we just kick long to nobody and the opposition pick it off far too easily. He isn’t getting us to run and carry through the middle - at least not enough. When we did it in the first quarter we were competitive.
Too many players look lost on the ground and any lack passion.

Bolton got flogged. Had maybe 2 errant disposals all day....

It’s telling to me that the ‘positives’ we identify are almost always about individual players - not about the way we play as a team. I suspect Sydney talk way more about the latter.

Agree, its a tough gug playing against Buddy and his posse of green magots. Has there ever been a bigger whinging kent to play the game?

The only thing we were pushing last season was the proverbial up hill. I agree winning is a mindset, a habit and a skill. But we're getting closer, and for now, that will have to do. No amount of whinging and whining and scapegoating will change that.
