2018 Rd 17: Post Game whatever : Carlton vs Hawthorn

[blueday]

We have to do something.
I accepted we wouldn’t be finalists this year, but over three years skills have gone backwards, our game plan has been proven time and time again to have gaping flaws but we stick with it, our injured list is huge, and players under perform each week with a lack of intensity.
Injuries don’t account for all of this (ok maybe the being injured bit)
There have to be some coaching changes in the post season.

The effort was fine on the weekend, indicators of effort (contested pos, clearances and hard ball gets) were in the Blues favor for the majority of the match. Our Median age (playing 21.5 this weekend, far and away the youngest in the comp) bottomed out this year, plus we have racked up the injuries.  It's not fun to watch but it is the reality of where the club is at, as SOS said on the TV the other night it is relatively easy to build a list to finish 8th, that is not what we want. If we lose our nerve and move on Bolts I am sure that is where we end up.
