Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney: In Game Attitude

[cookie2]

Good intensity in 1Q but came unglued badly in the 2Q. Swans now dominating clearances and keeping us bottled up in our defensive zone. We are again making a lot of errors, especially under pressure.

I don't want to hear any more crap about "being beaten in the midfield" stops us from scoring or if we lock it in the forward 50 the goals will come.

We have one goal from our forwards from 20 inside 50's

Our forward line is non-existent and non-functional....until we fix that we're going nowhere. :

We're being completely outclassed.
I'm not a White fan but he's at least putting in, Rowe and Jamison have been woeful.
Quite a few out there in Navy Blue simply not up to it.

I reckon Rowe the spud has been alright with his spud mate White. Detroit spud city.

Charlie C totally out of his depth.

He's offering more than Casboult.

Yup, fair point. Poor Boekhorst has to playn as a leading forward FFS. Everitt has non existent forward pressure so the ball just comes out with ease.

Rowe often looks lost when he's not directly playing against his opponent.  White has been fine.  Matt Wright has been very good and about the only shining light.  Cripps has been shut out.  Gibbs doesn't have a second effort.  Murphy has made some howlers.  So has Kerridge.  Weitering the only decent back - Docherty and 2E trying their heart out.

At the ground and the first quarter was good to watch.  Second not so good ESP when we tarted going backwards again. Have a hell of a lot of young inexperienced players so mistakes are to be expected - already enjoying this game tenfold than all the games MM was in charge of by the end!

Thought Murph was really good in the first then disappeared, Gibbs royally stuffed something then didn't bother following up - not a good look.

Need guys to run forward - once they made a few mistakes they got nervous - they'll come good I have faith in BB.

Really not a fan of Buddy, quite the Diver...

Lods, we've had a number of chances that we have just failed to take.

Neither Curnow Jr. or Casboult have had much to work with to be fair.

Comment made else where on a thread re the expats seems to be kicking in now for sure. Clear lack of forward tactics & cattle , it will slow our development if we can't quickly find a way to change that
