AFL Rd 16 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs St Kilda

[laj]

Honey provides very little and looks way off the level at the moment and as much as I’m tired of watching Martin do sfa would swap them next week if he’s available.

Also thought it was Jacks worst game in a long time. Butchered the ball several times which is usually his strength. 

Hard to find a real winner for us tonight on the field or in the coaches box.

Honey looks like he will be a player just not this year with his injury issues, time out of the game  re playing and training. He'll be better next year.

Have lost 3 of our last 5.

All such narrow squeaks too. Pies and Tigers were fought furiously to get back into the game. This one we pissed down the drain.

Wasn't expecting flags this year, just a further year adding to our development. To be near equal to the top of the ladder at some point was way beyond out expectations. That tends to raise the expectations of us supporters too before time. I look at this year like the Bulldogs 2015 season. Good year, 6th place, out first week, premiers the next year. Or similar like Hawthorn in 2007.

Our scoring has dried up since Weitering went out. 6 of our first 10 games we scored over 100, haven't got near it since.

Generally scoring, on average, has been getting lower ad the season has gone on.

Due to the weather and the condition of the ground, sure.

It's just down to the evolution of tactics as clubs get their head around playing under the current rules.

A few positives

Witnessed the negative impact playing underdone boys
Back to back best and worst performances is the perfect lens to see our progress
Players will all be disappointed in what they produced
Watched our running strengths disappear overnight
A Coleman medal means stuff all
If it's not all-in, it's nothing
Injuries and return from injury will define our season
Injuries have exposed the list to the ultimate assessment test
Something must be cooking with Dow
Team is experiencing a lot of change, forced change, and adaptation

If we learn from those things and find some injury management that works, we'll challenge any side. Next year, the year after..

FWIW our injury woes aren't improving. A full strength WC at home might just offer up another lesson. With or without Weiters.

Ill have to look overall as I think they are all lower generally. It is one thing I noticed a few weeks ago watching a game. We pumped Freo kicking 81 last week.

The Bumbers just did us a favour knocking off the Ducks ...

Bit of ball watching and jogging going on also - esp Fisher, Cerra and Honey, need to be much better,

Also what I refer to the “Liam Jones” effect from Plowman - some very good pieces of play, offset by some absolute howlers.

Newnes may be a great clubman but his decision making and ability to get quick disposal is way off AFL. He’s a VFL stalwart at best.

Honey aint AFL standard.
