Post Game Philosphical Discussion: AFL 2020 Rd 18: Carlton vs Brisbane

[kruddler]

Why do we keep picking so many big tall blokes who end up being passengers?

This was the game to play Honey, Dow... Whomever,  not Casboult + Pittonet + TdK + Macuseless.

Casboult - 2 possessions, 1 goal, 5 hitouts
TDK - 3 possessions, 2 hitouts
McGovern - 6 possessions
Polson - 6 possessions - 33% DE
McKay - 6 possessions, 3 goals
Betts - 7 possessions, 1 goal assist.
....
Pittonet - 11 possessions, 29 hitouts

Surely you could lose a tall from them. But it shows that ball didn't get to our forwards much

....and that Polson is useless.

[Professer E]

Staggered that Simmo has finished and Murphy and Betts get to go around again.  Lions' mids treated Murphy with contempt. Knocked him off the ball like swatting away a fly.

The 2020 season ends for us. What do we have to say?

It's a season that might've been and have to learn from.

[kruddler]

The ch 7 commentators gave him a fair wrap I thought. If it wasnt for him and Martin, that would have got real ugly.

Fun fact.

Martin - 11 touches, 0% DE.  :o

TDK was an almost player tonight. Got his hands to alot but never held one.

[Professer E]

One of Martins intercepts ended up a handball to Betts which ended up in a goal to Gibbons,  so that stat is wrong.

Won 39 qtrs. We finished one more winning qtr from the top of that ladder. Shows how those run ons in a qtr have hurt us.

Not that far away but there's issues that need to be sorted as they killing us.

Sums it up pretty well.

We kept starting slowly in games early on. We corrected that but then kept having those lapses. The most consistent thing about our season was our ability to have a massive brain fade in almost every match.

Stats have now gone offline.

You might be right.

Gave effort but beaten by a stronger team and won’t beat any of the better teams when we concede 5 goals plus in a row.

Still a fair bit of work to do and way off the better teams but would have been much closer tonight if MC had of picked the team correctly.

Cas Pit and TDK should never all play in the same team let alone on a wet night. And selections Polson yet again is beyond any sense.  Same with giving Eddie another year. Makes little sense when looking at his output.

Way too regularly does the MC make dumb selection decisions that make our task to improve harder then it should be. 

[LoveNavy]

Another blue by MC imo. Too tall given the conditions.

Missed Setters. Got done over by the umps again. Just when you think it improved (Fair last round), they pull another howler out. What was it 20 - 9? How many perfect tackles did we lay. Yet no reward. Our club needs to whinge like Clarko and the Scott's do.
