2018 Rd 3: Post Game Platitudes: Carlton vs Collingwood

[Thryleon]

When was the last time Buddy kicked 10 on a player ? When was the last time Lynch kicked 8 on a player ? Can' blame the midfield all the time. Defenders have to defend at some point.

What irks me more than anything is Jones isn't even near the contest. He's meters away. If he's there with the forward, at the drop of the ball, trying to mark, spoil, harass, punch the ball away, then fair enough. He's not as big or strong as Buddy, Lynch etc., so if he gets out bodied, I can live with that.

Jones isn't a good body on body player he's better using his athleticism and reach to beat opponents.

We are struggling because on field there are too many people focussed on themselves rather than helping the next bloke.  Defence is a team within the team and currently it lacks leadership to the point Marchbank going down costs us big time.
