I am afraid that it might be the time to change coaches. I do not like being out-coached week in, week out.
[1] We do not tag out the opposition's best players often enough.
It is hard enough in the midfield, where the ruck dominance often makes a huge difference. But, knowing that Rich sets up most of their attacking moves, we should have someone on him. Rich doesn't like it hard and never has.
Granted that Rich had a lot of disposals running out from the goal square, which is hard to stop, but around the ground he ran around on his own just too often. The idea is to kick to his direct opponent, so he has to really defend.
Melbourne showed tonight that Dustin Martin is human. Hibberd tagged him out of the game before he went off with concussion. Why can't we do that?
[2] Our disposal is terrible, yet what have the coaches done to improve it? It is hard to tell, but with our disposal NOT improving, the question looks extremely relevant.
[3] The attack on the ball that is now typical of Melbourne, Richmond and Port Adelaide is not shown by Carlton players. This is a coach thing. Until we work like those three teams do, we will not improve enough.
[4] Opposition teams do not fear us physically or otherwise. That is a coach thing, but it is also a recruiting thing. We do not seem to be making the right recruiting decisions. We want to have hard, physical players that put manic pressure on the opposition. That doesn't happen.
