Round 9: Carlton vs. Sydney Post Game Pain

[PassIt2Carrots]

Once again, it absolutely gave me the shiiites that we did not have a set forward line. By that I mean, that Barker did not give instructions to two of his forwards to stay in the forward line AT ALL TIMES. So as per usual, we would get the ball, look up, and there was no one in the forward line to kick it to.

I would have copped a 20 goal defeat, if Barker could have shown just a bit of flair with his game plan.

Longmire had Rampe as a spare man in defence for a lot of the game, and Barker did nothing to counter it.

Cr@p typical Malthouse thinking and coaching.

It concerns me greatly that Barker said in his aftermatch presser that he'd spoken with Malthouse twice later in the week after his sacking. I would hate to think that the guy we sacked is actually mentoring his replacement.
