AFL Rd 9 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[JonDorotich]

Small forwards still a massive problem and lost us the game again. So many inside 50s and cant lock the ball in. Too young and not good enough. Owies an exception and did well.
Depending on two forwards out of six is bad business. Unfortunately other than Martin there is no one else to bring into the team.

Martin was getting beaten in the 2s by the U18s - put a line through him. He’s a joke

We’re going to have to trade out of this mess
Pay players to play for other clubs to rebuild the list

Does nothing. Traded in good players before. We trade in decent players then they indoctrinated into our culture. If alot of our side was playing for other clubs they'd likely be guns. Issue is us.

We rebuilt a whole side but the attitude is still the same.

Yep  he's cooked.
No idea what we are going to do with that small forward line but the guys that get paid the big bucks need to find a solution because the 7-8 AA elite talent is going to to waste and can't play the long game with some players while they are at their peak. Perform or out.

Maybe this is our Collingwood moment to trade out overpaid stars to quickly trade in some key talent. What would West Coast give for Cripps and North for Mackay?

I think the Dogs coaching panel identified a weakness and exploited it to the max.

Notice the pattern?
Crows, saints, Lions.....

He couldn't hit the side of a barn with a piece of wheat from one metre away, he's woeful !!!

What game were you watching? Too busy working on your scorched earth policy and compiling your sacking list? Negative or what?

That's coaching 101 I believe ?

The dark Lord's blunt assessments may not be popular but he's right - we're wasting about 15 list spots on blokes that simply don't deserve to be there.  They've had more than enough chances.  Martin is a prime example - and whoever extended his contract should be sacked as well.  No more excuses.  I note that two of our hardest goers (Cottrell and Owies) came through the rookie list. A list designed to develop players not park finished players like Ed.

The first half was one of the worst displays of football in perfect conditions, I’ve seen in my nearly 50 years.

I get Power has to put on a front but seeing snd hearing him interviewed at half time and he said they were happy with our game and we were playing well except for the scoreboard - 1.4.10 at half time, under the roof in a perfectly fine night at Marvel, was disgusting.

I feel so foolish, I upped our membership as I assumed we’d play finals this year and wanted the best we could afford. I wanted to leave at half time.

Watching this team play is so unenjoyable I’m losing my love of footy. How can we possibly have 2 Coleman medallist, a Brownlow medallist and AA players, and serve up that absolute tripe? I don’t understand what’s happened.

And if I have to watch McG miskick under zero pressure one more time, I’ll scream.
