AFL Rd 13 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon

[Thryleon]

At the 9min mark of the 2nd, Charlie had 0.4, Martin 1.2, Owies had 0.1. They were all gettable, regulation shots for fwds. Convert a few of those and we go into half time with an ok lead. Not Saying the 7 to 2 goal 3rd qtr wouldnt have happened but it may have looked totally different. Those misses absolutely deflate us every time.

We went to water and lost the game in the third irrespective of what you're saying is true.  Lots of those shots were pot shots for goal from 50 metres out in an open forward line.

Do yourself a favour and stop grasping at scoring shots for reasons we aren't winning or playing well.  Our talls are too busy trying to go up one handed and can't create decent separation.

The boys aren't hungry.  Are being out competed, are kicking it poorly all over the ground and not just finishing badly, play with no system, no method, look hesitant as a result and if they're match fit ill be a monkeys uncle and we are getting run over the top of.

We are not playing anywhere near our potential in general play and it's not just convert better and she will be right.

Lance franklin was regularly having 7 scoring shots and kicking roughly half of them when hawthorn were challenging.

We are miles off the pace and we have hit a new low where I can't even look at our fixture and see our next win because we are and have played this way all season.

Take the Rose coloured glasses off.  Watching Lewis Young and weitering try figure out who they should be manning up on only to result in Jack silvagni manning up 2 metre peter in the third quarter told me enough about our team and how they're going.

The boys need to concentrate less on doing things and more on team structure.

Plowman is not a great individual footballer but I see no evidence that we play better footy with him out of the team.
