That was an ordinary effort. I haven't been all in on Carlton this year but I was beginning to think we could go all right. In both the Sydney and Collingwood games we have been out tackled and I think our tackling has been pretty ordinary all year. You tackle with your body and not with just your arms. Once again our disposal, ball handling and decision making under pressure was poor. The missing of goals from 10 metres out directly in front deblitates the team. TDK had a shocker but should have received a free kick for a head high knock. Not sure how a guy gets his hands to the ball first and then gets the ball kicked out of his hands gets a free kick paid against him. Don't understand why the ball was not brought back when the bounce gave no chance for Pittonett to contest. Fantasia has been a disappointment and Durdin doesn't get near the ball often enough.
I think we have developed a very good list but I have been concerned about our lack of pace which has been getting addressed over the past couple of drafts. It is still a work in progress. One reason I liked Fisher was that he did have some pace. What we lack are players with blistering pace. Guys who can genuinely break the lines and run down opponents from behind. It is something I think we should be looking at.
Clearly it is time for everyone to strip off and jump into Ed Curnow's dam.
