AFL Rd 5 2023 In Game Angst Carlton vs Adelaide

So Jack for full time ruck hey?

I take it that is you 'conceding' then?

I've said it since the pre-seson.
2 rucks are not required when you have Jack as the 2nd ruck.
If Jack was injured, be my guest, play 2 rucks.
If TDK (or Pitto) was capable of playing another position, sure, play 2 rucks.

Pitto is #1 ruck.
TDK SHOULD end up being #1 ruck, but right now, he is barely #2 ruck.
By having the extra big body on the field, it means we can play an extra small.....like tonight, an extra small defender/stopper would've helped.

Wow- Honey, Fisher, E Curnow, Silvagni, Acres, Kennedy, Plowman  all very average
No pace, no spark
Don’t like it tough

[kruddler]

This is the first time we've 'given up' for a while....potentially first ever under Voss?
I suspect a lot of changes this week as a result.
Lose, if you have to, but do it by giving your all and going down swinging.
The way this has turned out will have him fuming.

Fisher, Honey, Plowman, Ed just aren't up to it. Cripps, Cera, Harry all terribly down on form..We are a mile off the pace, lack of pace through the midfield is a real worry, especially with the saints next week.

No point singling out blokes tonight, 23 passengers fraudulently donned Carlton jumpers tonight.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Not hard enough at the initial contest and then exposed for pace once the ball got outside.......Cripps, Hewett, Kennedy and Fisher are ok at the coalface but cant really man anyone up who has some legspeed and players like Dawson and Laird were just on their own too often.
Obrien had a picnic in the ruck and Rowan Marshall plays the game the same way so we need to address that for next week.
