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

[Macca37]

Thanks, but I won't be watching that. If I want my daily dose of lazy, cherry picking shock jock, I have many better choices than him.

I put it to you, my learned colleague, that our issues are far more centred around skill execution, and far less around toughness, niceness, giving up chases, not remonstrating with opponents etc. Improve our general skills, kicking into F50, and the ball movement that leads to that, forward leading pattens, goal kicking and the like, and our position and W/L will improve.

Take the time to watch McClure.  You obviously do not like him but I doubt you would find much to criticise.

With regard to skill execution, we lag far behind opposition clubs because (a) we specialise in recruiting players with poor skills, and (b) we make no effort to improve what limited ability they have.

It has been that way for years and our solution seems to be to change the coach every few years.
