These blokes are fulltime professionals and they should at the bare minimum come in and run all over the part-timers, even if they kick like mechanical cockroaches and fumble everything that comes their way they should still be running VFL type opponents into the ground.
It is also perhaps a bit of a tell about how we think of VFL, it's an AFL training session, we aren't serious about building a winning culture at all levels. To me this is wasteful and misses the point of running your own VFL team, the culture is more important than just about anything else! Quality players like Wash come from injury and dont miss a beat, ordinary players like Cottrell and Boyd needs time to get touch.

I get that, but I don't get them being behind play, they should be the first to arrive at the ball and the last to drop off the chase!
FFS Carlton, become a bit brutal at all levels of footy and the AFL results will follow!
There is a reason why success follows blokes like Clarkson, Matthews, Balme, they are brutal, they want to win whether it's against the best of the best or the Eucumbene Scout Hall 5ths. They aren't happy with 10 goals, if they get 10 goals they want 20 goals and if they get 20 goals they want 30 goals, it's unrelenting, and the opposition scoring 1pt is just 1pt too many!
There is not a hope in hell our current team would win a game with 30-30-210, we aren't relentless in mindset, we'd probably force Charlie and BigH to play the last quarter for the opposition!
Carlton has grown fat and comfortable on high AFL wages and media profile, I suspect our Penfold's sponsorship is a confirmation of that!

I wonder if TDK is struggling to carry the extra bulk he supposedly put on over the PS. Looks all at sea.

Just wasted 30 mins watching. The cupboard is very bare.
TDK disappointing. Same old from Dow, O'Brien, Plowman and co. Binns might have something.
We cannot handle a defensive press. Not a lot of leadership out on the ground either.

TDK is a mystery for many supporters

Liking the move of Cottrell in the middle/on the ball... kicked a very nice goal on the run. 3 pt deficit.
