2018 Rd 17: Post Game whatever : Carlton vs Hawthorn

[Barbs]

The issue with today wasn't a lack of effort.
We were just outclassed.
The fact that we were able to kick a few goals in a row indicates we were still trying....their effort just dropped off.
Clarkson wouldn't have been happy...and any day that Clarkson isn't happy can't be all bad.

Well I wouldn't have described us as putting in a lot of effort. I saw plenty of players standing in space, not chasing and watching Hawthorn players run off them harder into the forward 50.
Today was a combination of poor attitude, bad tactics (our zone defence is just deplorable and must be abandoned), lazy running and terrible skills.
When one or two players have bad attitude, are a bit lazy and can't kick you can point the finger at the individual. When an entire team plays that way you have to look at the coaching group and question if you've got the right brains sending messages to the feet.
