Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 7: Carlton vs. North Melbourne

[Barbs]

He simply does NOT chase.
He jogs along trying to look interested.
He jogs off the contest continuously trying to look like he cares, but not ever getting close enough to impact it.

He gets enough outside ball to look like he is important but actually does SFA.

These traits are broader than Murphy though.
We have had many players performing with insufficient intensity that leads to a lack of pressure on the opposition.
It’s a systemic issue that to me suggests we need some form of change in our coaching panel. If not Bolton then others must go.
You can already see the rot setting in with Dow, O’Brien, Cuningham and SPS who all have above average speed but lack the killer instinct to use it to hunt down the opposition ball carrier and hit them with bone crunching tackles.
