AFL Rd 16 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs St Kilda

[ElwoodBlues1]

Bad kicking is bad football.  We continually put teamates under pressure, by playing uncomposed footy.  That was to simply get rid of it, rather than play the percentages.  Result, we turned it over a lot, and I would estimate that the Saints generated 80% of their scoring from turnovers be it forced by pressure, or unforced and just loose kicking into dangerous areas.

We played as poor a game as we have all season, and the result was that we kicked ourselves out of it, more than Saint Kilda beat us.  If we play that match 10 times over, I doubt we would lose it again.  Its a false negative.  St. Kilda played about as well as they could have hoped for, but in reality, they relied on us giving them back the ball a lot. 

Unfortunately, we accomodated. 

Cerra wasnt just rusty, he wasnt ready and shouldnt have played.  Was a bonafide witches hat.

Yep Cerra looked out of it and was spectating a few times when he should have been running to make position or chasing.....Where I reckon Stkilda won the game would have been winning the stoppages via their ruckman and it looked like they won more uncontested ball because they worked harder. We didnt work hard enough and are at our worst when we dont man up and allow the easy overlap, once piece of play was horrendous as I said in a previous post where Stkilda training drill style sent the ball from the backline in slow motion back across the ground and up the wing with zero pressure.
