What's wrong with Carlton

[northernblue]

Id be questioning who set those priorities then because they hardly touch the ball, dont create much pressure and are very light on for goals. I'm beginning to think Owies is a bit more important to us than the others.
Its rare that our small forwards have a won us a game and then you look at players like Charlie Cameron, Papley, Higgins, Rankine etc hitting the scoreboard hard and winning games for their respective clubs.
Richmond have lost the edge they had with their small forwards and look very impotent now.....we need to improve strongly in this area and probably need to make some list changes accordingly imho.

You watch StKilda play.
They go forward to a moving target and they have someone float across in front to take a protected mark BUT they also have someone front and square to crumb.
We do not.
The only reason I can think of for WHY is that our small forwards have been assigned “other tasks”
You’re right, they don’t get big tackle numbers and they don’t kick many goals, but maybe they are filling spaces and blocking traffic so we don’t get hurt so hard on the rebound ?
Our small forwards are not big goal kickers.
Our small forwards are not big tacklers.
I can only assume they have other tasks that are viewed as being more important… ??‍♂️
