Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 12: Carlton vs West Coast

[LoveNavy]

I think we lack players in key areas, have too many of a certain type of player and not enough depth in other areas.
In short I think we need a list reset with an emphasis on the midfield, the Williams move was a failure trying to cheat with him as a mid and Martin is the same at this point in time as a part time mid and we need more specialist midfield support for Cripps and Walsh urgently.

True enough. The game is won in the midfield. We haven't got close to putting a combination of reliable consistent mids together. At best it's been piecemeal. Not sure if the personnel will come from the current list, or arrive off season.

This group needs to have the balance of inside/outside attributes. They need to have the experience that enables them to know who/how/when to use their teammate. That takes time although can happen quite quickly with a consistent line up.

Due to injury, form, coaching decisions, underdevelopment, or favour, we've not seen that midfield play together. Think about the midfielders we have: Murph, Ed, Cripps, Setters, Samo, Fisher, Kennedy, Dow, LOB, Walsh, Stocker, Philp. Once we see this midfield get games together, I think we'll see more wins.

Dare to dream that this coming together coincides with some good health and form of the fwd/back lines ?
