Our reluctance to handpass creatively means that our disposal by foot is under pressure and misdirected as a result.
Okay sorry about the video titles, some tosser (probably a DC scum supporter) has put these on you tube. But they illustrate how even our greatest player of the past decade butchers the ball at times under no pressure. Interesting how Bruce says in the second video (Ratten era) that "we're getting used to sloppy play by Carlton" By no means is this a slight on the great man, but it sets a standard.
