2018 Rd 16: Pre Game Prattle: Carlton vs St Kilda

[Thryleon]

Shaw is an interesting selection, like Polson before him, his form had peaks and tapered off before they actually gave him a run! Seriously, what is with this?

He has a bit of pace, so it will be interesting to see what he can do on Docklands fast dry surface. He won't find a better ground to suit his game style, or a better team to match up on because the Aints while very fast are also quite small!

In isolation it doesn't mean alot, but when you put this phenomemon together with Polson getting a 2 year contract extension on the back of 0 proven ability to play footy at the highest level, the only explanation I can come up with is that these blokes are doing everything possible to make something of themselves, whilst others are not, which earns them a game, (and in Polson's case, a contract).

It means we have blokes not applying themselves appropriately at Carlton.

This is why we have been this poor.  Is that a coaching issue?  Make up your own mind, but you can't motivate people if they are not the types to drive themselves.  They will do whats easy rather than whats necessary.
