AFL Rd 6 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[ElwoodBlues1]

Embarrassing skills. Hard to believe we've slipped so much in 12 months. We had the 6 leading possession getters on the ground....by a country mile....and it means nothing.

Lost count of how many times in the first 3 quarters we kicked it straight to an opponent coming out of the back 50. Yes, missing Saad and Docherty....but just unforgiveable. Saints were missing way more best 22 players than us but the ease with which they moved it from the back 50 to their forward line was laughable at time.

I need someone to tell me how Honey got a game this week after last week and after very ordinary VFL form? On the back of that today, he shouldn't be playing again any time soon.

Do we have a goalkicking coach at the club? So many easy set shots missed in the first half when we had control of the game. Harry is one of the worst set shots for goal in the competition and was embarrassing today. His work up the ground taking contested marks can't be questioned, but his job is to kick goals and to miss some of those sitters today is coach killing stuff.

Too many blokes tearing it up in the VFL for there not to be some changes next week. Ed Curnow might be just about cooked I think and Honey should go. Fisher got a bit of ball but for the most part was ineffective....another who could do with a VFL stint.

Cincotta didn't look outta place so probably holds his spot.

We are a mile off it at the moment. We could've been sitting in top spot tonight but instead served that crap up.

Credit to Ross Lyon though. He's got the same list as Ratten, minus a heap of injuries...and they look like a top 8 team already. The same can't be said for us.

Cincotta was good and his skills stood out...he was the one positive from this game which was played with decent pressure and thats bodes well for Cincotta going forward.
