Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs. Essendon

[Barbs]

There's nothing wrong with long bombs if you've got a couple of decent key forwards who can outbody and outplay their defenders.
Don't forget we played Essendon without any of their three key defenders from last season, Carlisle is gone but Hurley and Hooker would be walk up starts.
Casboult and Jones were beaten by VFL footballers.

There is plenty wrong with kicking a high ball to the pocket that isn't to advantage and we're out numbered. We had more Mary's than the Vatican today.

A long penetrating kick to the right spot can be good but it isn't what we're doing. Most of our long kicks into the forward line are usually high floaters to nobody in particular and come at the end of slow ball movement that allows the opposition to push back in numbers and  set up. Buddy Franklin wouldnt even kick goals in that situation.
