AFL Rd 6 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[Gointocarlton]

That was my exact thoughts also on the St Kilda game. Ball use and decision making was crap.

My concern is why is it crap? I think our players are simply not as skilled as the better teams. Look at our forwards in particular Harry, Charlie, Fisher, Jack, are all unreliable by foot if they have to field kick. (Jack used to be decent but he has fallen away this year) And if its a shot at goal Charlie is the only one you can 'just' rely on - the others and it literally could go anywhere.

And midfield wise Cerra, Cripps, Kennedy, Acres and Hewitt are also IMO average at best by foot with Walsh being the only one I think you can genuinely rely on consistently hit a target under pressure.

Compare that to the top teams where they have good users on each line and we are miles behind and this factor decides games most weeks.

Is it training that is sub par at our club or just in the players DNA.... I dont know?

Doc suggested that they rectified issues from the Adelaide game and there was alot he felt they did right. He felt ball use was what cost them the game.
