Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel

[LP]

Perhaps you're a stage ahead.

None of our mids is even getting first hands on the pill.

Is that skill, mindset, set up structures or some combination?

I'd say a combo - but largely rests on the coaching staff to sort it out.....

So guys playing permanent HBFs and HFFs get toasted or starved from the bulk of restarts.

The 6-6-6 probably hasn't helped us either, other than Saad we don't have a player with enough pace to play the sweeper role, when at AFL level you probably need two or three in a game just to get through it. So Saad is run ragged by the 4th Qtr, in both opening rounds. Put him in a team winning clearances and he'll be running off opponents in the last quarter and hitting blokes lace out.
