Rd 3: Carlton vs Gold Coast: Post Game Pain

[BluePhantom]

No forward coach is going to fix our problems unless he is a development genius, the problems are ball use and decision making.

I think if the club had a panic room a dozen players would be locking themselves in there daily!

In the first couple of weeks there were plenty of good signs, little gives and gets, sneaky underground kicks and handballs, shepherds for team-mates even! Get the ball forward, disrupt the opponent.

It mostly stopped on the Gold Coast Saturday night, and it wasn't the newbies who are to blame. It's the older entrenched playing group who revert to doing stuff by bad habits that are regressing. They seem to be so mentally damaged from their past it has become a tragedy! Saturday night reminded me so much of that last season from TBird or Russell, you just knew their time was up despite the odd good outing! Old dogs, new tricks, but only sometimes!

I hear you LP, we all saw that first quarter against the Hawks in the NAB cup. We were great, so they can do it but as you say we revert to old habits.
