AFL Rd 20 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Adelaide

I would be resting Cripps next week to get him ready for the last 2 big games.

Yesterday our depth was unbelievable, today it's slim pickings.

Hardly.

Its just that everyone is out of form at the same point.

My sarcasm didn't come through?

About this time the previous 2 years we turned our toes up when a chance to play finals. Hopefully we are not doing again. I'll give them the benefit of being a one-off this time. Remember the rotten effort against North round 19 last year then the next week we came out and really flogged St.Kilda. Hopefully a similar effort next week.

[RiverRat]

He wasn't Robinson Crusoe but Setterfield's kicking, when under pressure, was as abysmal as usual - he should stick to hand-balling.

[PaulP]

If you compare our form line, ladder position etc. with our next three opponents, the most realistic scenario is that we will lose all three, and those losses could get pretty ugly. At this point, we have to deal with the real prospect of a 12/10 WL for the season, and hope that other factors work in our favour for us to play finals. There's little in last night's game that suggests we can win against Lions, Pies, or Demons. Much like Fremantle, the boys look like they're running out of steam.

My reply wasn't just for you.

There may be a few unavailables, but there's still some pretty handy blokes who can step in. It's an area we've shone this year... next man up. My main concern is attitude, intent and discipline... not too mention ensuring we do the club proud against BrisVegas.

The same thought crossed my mind... for a few years now we've not finished the year well. The Vossmeister and other coaches said at the beginning of the year they expected us to add more layers and be better in the back half of the year.  :-\

[Slowhand]

Steam coming out of Voss's ears at the presser.
"Outworked, lack of effort, didn't win enough contests. Asked about attitude and he said it was no different to any other week".

My thoughts -

a. bonus if we get a final after all the injuries we have. Next 2 or 3 years will be ours.
b. more confident in the coaching staff . We are still learning.
c. time to review our Fitness/Rehab system. Come to Carlton and get injured (Martin, Williams, Hewitt and co}
d. Need another quality midfielder in the draft. 
e. Cripps, Walsh and SOS are the heart of the team.

Next week we need players to at least have a crack. Not going to win so time to work on a few things.

Outs - Kennedy (inj), Durdin (inj),  Newnes (inj), Plowman, there will be more...
Ins - Hewitt, Honey, Martin, Marchy, Stocker (to tag Charley C), and anyone else who will have a crack...

Don't give up. We are on the right track  8)
