2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond

[Vivian]

Our Forwards have to get moving, get on their bikes and be mobile.

When's the last time we saw Levi stream full tilt and get hit lace out ala the Fev days.

We too often see our forwards duck back and call for the big bomb. Need to get mobile, need to get active.

This is the crux of the issue. Our forwards need to be moving alot more than they seem capable of, while maintaining some semblance of position. Its all well and good for Casboult to fly, but at best, he is going to take 5 contested marks a game, and only maybe a couple close to goal. It is uncontested marks forward that are needed to score, but these take constant movement as a team to create spaces where the ball can be delivered. Accurately.

Casboult will have a good defender all season, so he is going to have to improve a great deal. The midfield will have to step up as goal kickers. But it is hard to see us kicking more than 10-12 goals per game.  Our skills and team work just aren't good enough.
