2018 Rd 17: Post Game whatever : Carlton vs Hawthorn

[Woodstock]

x2....We are non competitive......thats the bottom line, not sure how long you can keep going like this before change has to happen..
Tactically we are horrible...zone defense isnt working and while the multi premiership coach found it fit to tag Cripps with Howe we just allowed Mitchell to wander around on his own all day and gave
him three brownlow votes...this is after OMeara was pulled out and it left Worpel and ORourke as the Hawks main mids behind Mitchell. How does that make sense? they are down to one main mid and we let him run around on his own. Its not Auskick.....

Yes. I laugh at people sayin “..but that’s not down to the coach..”. If you have Netflix, hit it up Season 3 of Last Chance U. It just came out. The first two seasons were amazing television. If you don’t know what this show is, it follows a small US southern town’s grid iron team performing miracles with a Tough as Oak, foul mouthed coach who takes utter misfits into Win after Win after Win. These kids are talented, but due to shit upbringings have landed at this college in a “last chance” attempt to get picked up by the big league.

That’s what we need. Go back to being a cheap as defence like last year. Give them nothing and make them earn every bloody meter. That DOES come down to the coach. He had all pre season and the last 17 rounds to come up with something. We knew Doc and Gibbs were out for the year. Its called planning. No wonder the players look listless. It’s pitiful and I don’t appreciate my membership money being spent on this supposed elite sporting environment.

Go to the WAFL/SANFL/VFL with our second and third round picks and draft hard nosed journeymen who will be oozing Adrenaline to get onto the park for their “last chance”. They won’t stop running, tackling and chasing. That’ll inject some much needed oomph into this insipid Culture. It’s so bloody obvious that we need hard nosed 22-30 year old players and then show the rest of the comp what we stand for. At the moment we stand for walk overs. And that has been perpetuated, no ENDORSED from the President down to Judd and the Coach. No wonder the Players look listless. The Club is telling them subconsciously that next year is when we want to be judged. Don’t worry about his year. That screams losing Culture.
