Carlton v Fremantle- Post Match

[cimm1979]

Barker started by not worrying about getting the job, letting the players run and play with freedom. A few injuries and some plaudits from the scribes about Barker's coaching and all of a sudden we play the lets not get hammered game style again, is it because JB really thinks he's a chance and doesn't want to screw it up? Cause by doing that he is shooting himself in the foot or career.

I got sick of seeing our players put their head over the ball and get hit high, it might be an accident but high contact is still high contact and deserves a free. FFS Fyfe actually turned side on and braced himself.

We have the people complaining about Yarran and rightly so to a big degree, but when players don't get him the ball when he's in the clear like Buckley didn't then if you already have a negative attitude you won't continue to run, it's fine to say he should have that frame of mind but he's human.

Barker is doing what the club wants.

They (SOS) just don't want to see the kids playing, they want to see them playing pressure football.

Don't expect any change to this MO. The list is about to get a (another) overhaul.
