AFL Rd 12 Post Game Passing Carlton vs Melbourne

[ElwoodBlues1]

Need a player like Fritsch who can be that reliable creative inbetween sized forward rather than just have all talls(Charlie and Harry) and all smalls(Motlop, Owies etc) given our smalls have zero marking ability and dont get much ground ball.

[LP]

Absolutely. However he was our first pick, number 3? In that draft. And he’s been BOG mostly in VFL games yet the same guys get a run, this one does not get a look in ??‍♀️

He might be BoG of the Carlton listed players, but often our VFL team is best serviced by the VFL players which for me has always been a problem.

Also, CFC, you have killed our enjoyment of watching our team - yes we want to win but if we don’t we at least want to enjoy the journey. Now we enjoy uhhhhhh NOTHING!

Okay, positives - Weiters was great…..

Uhhhhh

HARRY! Stoked for him! Great game ??

Didn’t realise a great game by H meant a nothing game by Charlie?

CFC
please, let them loose, ffs. You’re killing us, watching these poor blokes run around with NFI!

[Professer E]

I call bulldust.  He showed a heck of a lot more than some very highly rated and very much underperforming players ATM.  He needs to play a decent block of games and get a chance to show his worth.

MacGovern is dropping pies, holds it for eternity killing momentum then fluffs the disposal.  We can't carry this spud any longer.  Kemp is a far better player anyways

What was that famous line?

DONT THINK—— DO!

I feel Sorry for the players, they hesitate way too much. They don’t do the basics and THINK.

It’s sad to watch.

Anyway I’m not apportioning blame, just trying to understand wtf is going on!

The game plan is in tatters and our season is officially over

There is simply not enough movement ahead of the ball and limited defensive structure behind it - Carlton have absolutely no idea how to create space for players to run into and lack creativity and dare. We are boring and predictable to our opposition and everybody watching the game.

Acres is so slow and is officially a liability
Walsh has fallen so far it’s not funny, ditto Kennedy
Our rucks and small forwards are not where we need them  to be
Dow is in our top 10 and we play him in the 2s??

All so depressing

[Micky0]

Also just out of curiosity who makes up the Match Committee each week? Is it the same guys every week?

[RiverRat]

HARRY! Stoked for him! Great game ??

Played well but Melbourne helped a lot by playing Tomlinson against him.

[Macca37]

I can't get out of my mind a passage of play in the second quarter when we ran the ball close to the half forward line and our player chose to kick long and high to Motlop who was caught out standing between two Melbourne players who were at least 15 centimetres taller.

Of course the ball was immediately sent back to their forward line with our players out of position.

The only people I can commend are our fitness staff.  Because of brain fades and  such poor skill levels which cause so many turnovers during a game, our players must expend at least twenty five percent more energy than the opposition players,  yet they are able to keep disappointing supporters for the full four quarters.

[RiverRat]

The game plan is in tatters - someone better tell Voss that it has been found at last.

Dow is in our top 10 - I beg to differ -and we play him in the 2s - because that is where he is most suited.
