But Jack going down was the turning point. Momentum turned after that.
Despite SPS' heroics last week (as i pointed out pre-game) it is far from common from him and he offered us nothing when he came on.
Yes a real shame that JSOS went down
SPS needs to start kicking longer and backing himself more - he plays like a guy that doesn’t believe in himself, so takes the easy options.
Our worst players today were arguably our more well regarded players so not sure where we go from here.

Again, when serious heat comes, we wilt - too many passengers. That final qtr was simply deplorable, and says exactly where we are against quality opposition - we do it far too often for it to be anything other than in our DNA.
We had some very good moments, but plenty of bottom sides have good moments.
We still rely on individuals. Weitering, Doc, Eduardo, H, Walsh & Cuningham - their individual skills were impressive.
I'm yet to see why all the fuss about this Williams.
Baffled as to why changes weren't made in the box during the final qtr.
I think we have to be realistic, we're a bottom 6 side.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

A lot of passengers today - way too many.
And some highly paid ones at that.
Not going to beat a good team with only 12-14 guys putting in.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Williams was a good player at GWS, but hasn’t fired a shot at Carlton. Why?
Did we get this horribly wrong?

Did we get this horribly wrong? Played as a half back at GWS in the main...the midfield experiment hasnt worked.

Why shouldn't he if the player happens to perform and more than earn his keep?

Twice in the last we had no one stand on the mark for gods sake, a basic basic act to apply at least a bit of pressure, and no one thinks to do it?
We need a captain that will settle the troops, will lead by example, when having an off day will still lead where he can! Not good enough, the leadership in last, not even close.

Hitouts
33 Pittonet

17 Sweet

Disposals

9 Sweet
Clearances
7 Pittonet (most for Carlton, 3rd behind Bont + Libba)
1 Sweet
I can't get hitout to advantage stats yet, but i don't think Pittonet was the problem.
Cripps being MIA, Williams appearing on the team sheet, but barely sighted on the ground, SPS doing similar after Jack went off....
You know what’s embarrassing - anyone that tries to justify that performance using stats.
I watched the game and him in particular very closely apart from costing us 2 goals to frees he had no fking clue how to palm the ball to any sort of advantage. I reckon they could have used Daniels on the ruck and Pit wouldn’t know how to exploit it. Bombers did the same thing last week used a kid against him cause they know he has no clue.
You trying to defend his ruck work is like me telling you Casboult is a great AFL footballer based on the stats I throw at you.
Both are lucky to be 2nds standard but we have no stocks to turn to so they keep getting a game.
