AFL Rd 8 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[Gointocarlton]

Total Turnovers

Walsh 7
Hollands 6
Docherty 5
Acres 5
Pittonet 5
Young 5

Like I said, it wasn't kids (apart from Hollands), it was senior players. Weiters had 3 and I know one fore sure resulted in a Cameron goal.

Walsh has come back to the pack with the interrupted PS.  As have a few others.  I suspect our PS program was inadequate due to injuries and other issues .

Walsh had a shocker with his disposal the other night.
It was 50%
He just didn't seem right.
Situations where he would normally get the ball away, he was caught.
Hopefully he just had a bad one.
But Walsh rarely has a bad one :-\

No other team in AFL kicks more straight to opposition than Carlton players ,been happening for years ,turnover goal very sad.

I thought it was because of the Lions clash jumper was too similar to our jumper. That's why when our players looked up and saw a player and kicked it straight to them.
Unfortunately it was a Bears player.
It can be the only explanation.  :o

That being the case our kicking was the best its been for over a decade!

Kennedy had as many inside 50s in one quarter (and a fraction) than everyone else (on both sides) had for the entire game

WTF is he doing sitting on the bench.

Walsh had plenty of ball but his disposal was pretty poor. He just didn't seem right. Normally he'd get the ball away cleanly in those tight situations but he got caught a couple of times.

And why was Young the one to make way?
It should have been Honey imo.

The players seem confused, even one commentator said it. I've seen this a bit this year. They are not on the same page.
Dare I say it, this seems to be a coaching problem. We seem to get the same dribble after every game in his post match conferences.

And HOW COME we have two Coleman medalists in our forward line who can outreach 98% of the competition, a Brownlow medalist running the engine room, yet the game plan is obsessed with a backline kicking sideways and a midfield racking up uncontested possessions instead of using speed into our forward line to isolate our goal kickers...????

And HOW COME we have the same passengers as small forwards each week??

And HOW COME we have reserve players not being rewarded for effort week after week...??

And HOW COME, when we know Brisbane try to rag doll us, do we leave Kennedy on the bench as a sub...??

And HOW FREAKIN' COME did we sub Young off - one of our best backmen - and leave Honey, Motlop, Durdin on the ground...??

Coach???

Perhaps also worth bearing in mind that Fagan has been lauding Dunkley's game as one for the ages. Not sure why he had to play his best ever game against us............
