AFL Rd 5 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Gointocarlton]

Isn’t it amazing how it’s plainly obvious to most supporters but not the inner sanctum.

Some may say that’s because we’re less informed or don’t understand what the coaching panel is instructing the players to do (and there is truth to that), but I also think the players personality, charisma, friendships have an impact.

On that basis, Plowman’s personality must be off the charts!!

He is probably a great clubman and much loved among the group (players and coaches). He is probably an outstanding citizen also. From my point of view though, what I see is someone who lacks confidence one on one, when he gets isolated, you can almost see the error coming before it happens (a fumble, a missed spoil, leaves his man when he shouldn't etc). He often gets given (or maybe puts his hand up for) a dangerous small fwd and again, to me he looks like he panics more often than not. For me, bottom line is he is not a defender. I don't know where he played his junior footy, if it were up to me I'd find another role for him.
