Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 5: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[flyboy77]

After so many years of rebuilding, we should expect to have a team that plays at a level similar to Port Adelaide.

That's what we have been led to expect from the Carlton hierarchy.

And yet we are still talking in terms of if  we improve our kicking skills  or put in harder then we will win.  The fact is we have recruited players with mediocre kicking skills at best and they are not going to improve.

Teague deserves criticism but how can you put a plan in place with players incapable of carrying it out.

Our forward line entry, and the forward line itself, were a shambles.  We had players getting in the way of one another, and this is happening every week.

As has been said, too many players of VFL standard and incapable of improvement.

Cripps is a so so kick - tell him to handball it off every bloody time. Simple.

I still think it's our system/structures or lack thereof that is beating us.

The players look like they are confused...

If they don't know or understand their role, something is very amiss.

They're not 1st or 2nd year players, we're talking 4th, 5th, even more years in the system types.
