Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs. Essendon

[Jeffy38]

There are big questions on work rate. Very little link up play and running the ball to create overlap that exposes defensive zones and far too much bombing it long to no advantage. Nearly the whole match seemed to played in slow motion with no movement. The few times we took it on and carried the ball we looked infinitely better and exposed their lack of pace. But all too often we had no movement and resorted to kicking backwards.

We got lucky they weren't good enough to expose this. Once we start fronting up against the better teams again they will run us ragged just like Sydney and the Gold Coast did.

But for now let's just enjoy beating the bummers 

Disagree. That was lack of confidence rather than desire.

Very happy we won and the best thing from my perspective is the leadership group to a man all stood up when it mattered
