Rd 17: Post Game Disinterested Dissections: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Micky0]

It's almost as if the opposition coaches sit back and use the first 15 minutes of the game as a 'sighter'.  Move this player there, shark to Kruezer's taps, turn up the pressure on the forward line (knowing we'll turn it over), and ... checkmate.

We were uncharacteristically tentative today. The boys didn't seem to have the confidence or self-belief to take the bold option. Ball movement was glacial which was disappointing. Hope Bolton's desire for "system and process" is not at the expense of flair and creativity.

I don't know, they looked tired to me, from the outset- last weeks game was punishing and of course they should be at a standard where they can put in week after week but they are a young side.

Doesn't help when you're good senior players have stinkers either.

Casbolts miss in the last was just unacceptable. I like him and want him to succeed but just unacceptable. If that hadve gone thru we would've had a sniff.
