Couldn't sit through Voss' post match press conference. It was same old same old. In management speak people work towards their targets and KPI's. Voss spoke about contested football, clearances, tackles, how hard they're training, working hard and how the boys kept trying. I use to teach this sort of stuff and I always said there are inputs, outputs and through puts but it is outcomes that are the most important. In other words you need to look at the results and not the process. In football the only outcome is the score board. One of the problem at Carlton is that they have the wrong KPI's. We are focusing on contested football, tackling, hard running and playing your role and maybe we should be look at things like decision making with a ratio of good and bad, disposals under pressure with a ratio between good and bad, disposal not under pressure and a ratio between good and bad, selfless acts and risk taking etc. The players would the players would change their mindset and start working towards the new targets because that is how they would get a game. In other words I think we are measuring and rewarding the wrong things. It would also mean the coaches would be coaching different things. If you are not going to change what you are doing then you can't expect the outcome to change. Just a thought.
In the last quarter, Pittonet monstered McInerney, Kennedy ran riot, players attacked the ball, took risks and we actually looked like a finals team. Still made the same mistakes and bloopers we had made earlier, but because we were having a go Brisbane started making mistakes, panicking and became rattled. Why don't we play like we played in the last quarter all the time. Where is our intent. Where is the willingness by players to take a chance and have a go. In the last quarter Kennedy grabbed the ball and kicked the goal. Why don't we just do that all the time. We are clearly incapable of playing perfect football with crisp disposal, why don't we just get the ball forward and play the game on our terms in a contested manner physical manner. we should probably be taking the Kennedy Commandos approach to our football rather than the clinical slick ball movement of the Clarkson era.
I am really sick of it.
