We dont have enough players who can quickly with precision hit those targets across ground with long kicks and switch play...losing Docherty and Williamson hasnt helped either who are good kicks...
I agree somewhat, but I'd assert the current problem isn't Setterfield, SPS, Fisher, Poulson or any of the other kids. The problem is that our older guys don't really do much better on average and especially when things get tight during the match!
We have a list full of shell shocked individuals, damaged goods! At as any good military commander knows, shell-shock can be contagious! Yet we keep using adversity as a learning tool, it's my biggest concern! Armies did that back in the days of yore, when lives were cheap and The Best of British Military was run by men in luxury tents many miles away! But Carlton has only 45 soldiers, we cannot keep breaking them and expect to win the battle!
