Post Game Analysis: AFL 2020 Rd 5: Carlton vs St. Kilda

[Micky0]

Is that right? Well there's the game right there. Bad, bad attitude.

Reading their own press the past few weeks ?

I didn't watch Q4, but you know what?

Cripps kicks that goal late in the third I reckon we would have won.

That's not to excuse the abject laziness of many, the cheap cough ups and the incredibly bad decision making, but hey.....and the bizarre umpiring.

Teague just needs to drop a few - big h, simmo, McGovern, newnes.

Still think Cripps is injured.

Cripps always struggles vs Steele, we should have started him away from Steele say at FF. But then you need another strong mid to step up and we just dont have that. Cripps came home in junk time ok so I thought he was fit enough, just doesnt like how Steele mans him so close and he seems to have the muscle to match it with Cripps.
Needed a Robbo to offer some decent blocks....new onball lineup required, maybe Stocker, Kennedy in the middle with Martin and Cripps.

It’s very simple again the game was lost in the middle early on. Until Cripps gets genuine support we will remain a bottom team. We are showing every sign again of a bottom 2-3 finish.

Cripps is looking tired and battle scarred and must be sick and tired of the pressure to drag us over the line every game. Very real chance he will be considering heading home have a chance at success in the second half of his career.

And who would blame him. Was very surprised to see him smiling and laughing after the game. Looks like even he is now conditioned to accept losing.

Miles behind where we should be 5 yes 5 years into a rebuild.

Teague got his butt  whipped by Ratts.

Spanked, think he too had started to believe his own press...

Needs to STFU, cut out the media drivel and do his job better.

I'm afraid SPS who started out with the club as a bomb is now just a penny bunger.

Also a little concerned with Walsh.  His free running curbed.  Martin, however, very impressed

If anything the last 16 games has shown we can match it with anyone. So I don't expect them to dish up the crap they dished up last night anymore. Sick of the poor attitude and lack of "want". Don't worry too much about individuals, bring the correct attitude and the rest will look after itself.

I absolutely know they will dish up the shit they did last night again, they have form. Dunno which team you have been watching.

He’s giving NOTHING. Watched him closely in last q. Ball was in dispute in one of these rugby style rolling mauls, his opponent took 2 quick sideways steps and crouched low intently following the ball. SPS allowed the distance between then to get out to over a metre - actually looked disinterested. The ball popped out,  StK player swooped on it and was able to get a clean disposal away starting a chain which resulted in a goal.

Little things like that kill us.

Memo to Teague - he ain’t a defender’s bootlace.

[ElwoodBlues1]

SPS did the job on Tipper last week and while he didn't get much of the ball he defended OK. But I think the experiment is over and he needs to be in the Midfield mix now and taking on responsibility.
If he doesn't give us more by seasons end we should look at trade options for him.

[Professer E]

He's picking and choosing.

Needs to choose whether he wants to be an elite level player or he can back to mucking around in Halls Creek.

All the skills in the world but the elite players have that quietly ruthless commitment and determination and I just don't see it.
