Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 11: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[Thryleon]

I made a point earlier in the year when people were screaming about where is our development.

I pointed to the bests of years past and of this season.

Results wise, its hard to see improvement.
Performance wise, the kids are the ones playing well and its the senior players that have dropped off and no longer pulling their weight.
Murphy the obvious one.
Even the evergreen Simpson has been poor by his lofty standards.
Ed has been largely disappointing
Kreuzer is a shadow of his former self, largely due to the injuries catching up with him.
Casboult has been pushed out of the side, mostly, and is getting a game due to injuries at the other end of the ground.

Daisy is about the only exception....and obviously his recent issue doesn't help.

The kids are starting to step up...the more patient we are, the more kids will step up as they get more experienced. Will it be enough? Time will tell.

This is precisely why Bolton shouldn't get sacked.  We just hired a new fitness guru.  He's had one pre season with our blokes.  I think our strength and conditioning team has been really poor since justin cordy left us as high performance manager.

It's why we haven't been a true 4 quarter team for 6 years.

The only ones who are bucking that trend are the guys putting in a heap of work off their own bat which is really good for them but it reflects poorly on the club.

We are not maximizing our players careers which is something that we need to improve upon as a footy club.
