AFL Rd 23 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast in Perth

[Thryleon]

The communication in the backline hasn't really been all 'Beer and Skittles" in recent times.
Dirty looks and sprays have been evident.
McGovern wasn't happy with Kemp the other day.

It seems they're not on the same page and that many of the mistakes are probably things that have gone against game strategy.

I also wouldn't discount the fact that all those corkies have left Weitering a little below his best, and struggling a bit with holding it all together.
He may be a little frustrated with his own body and that's reflecting on to team-mates.

Now you would think the worst thing we could do would be to move him. But with him not there it's quite possible the others might feel a little less pressure from his scrutiny and in fact rise to the challenge.

All speculation...I'm happy to let the coaches with a closer understanding of the dynamics to sort it out

Imho we need weiters doing more traffic directing and less doing.

On the weekend he was trying to be everywhere man rather than holding it all together.  Less act, more lead.

Our leaders unfortunately only do.

Our team will change when people in our team lead who are content to sacrifice their game for the good of the team.
