2018 Rd 3: Post Game Platitudes: Carlton vs Collingwood

[kruddler]

Reckon another coach might have said if I put a player who can take a mark on Crisp we might snag half of the nine he took....I remember Crisp lost his lunch in the middle of the ground when a high ball came in and he came up a few steps short so any semblance of pressure down back on him might have led to some scoring opportunities...but instead we just left him on his own and he looked Gary Dempsey taking mark after mark down back...as a supporter there is nothing more frustrating than watching repeat entry failures from your team with the same method.

It will continue to happen if we insist with going with 7 defenders....which we do more often than not.

Until we can let go of that safety net, we will struggle to get quality inside 50's.
