Unfortunately, we don't have the depth to enable the coach or match committee (do we still have a match committee?) to make statements. Another symptom/cause of our current malaise
"There will be changes, but statements are unlikely."
Quote:Mick Malthouse-coached teams are renowned for tackling, for defending and for expending near maximum effort – irrespective of their talent. None of these non-negotiables was evident in the coach's record-breaking game last Friday night.
Bryce Gibbs was far from theThere will be changes, but statements are unlikely. only player who let down club and coach, but his output was probably the worst of all when measured against his high capabilities.
Gibbs, Carlton's 2014 best and fairest and in the first year of a five-year contract, was one of half a dozen Blues who did not lay a tackle. Of his seven kicks, only one was effective. He was among the onlookers who froze and did nothing to stop the slaughter.
On the basis of Friday night and his modest output in 2015, Gibbs probably deserves to be playing VFL this weekend. His kicking efficiency – usually a strength – stands at a substandard 49 per cent this year, and his possession rate has dropped. For whatever reason Gibbs has underwhelmed.
But if a portion of incensed Carlton fans want Malthouse to make Gibbs and/or other names a scapegoat to make a statement, they will almost certainly be disappointed. There will be changes, but statements are unlikely.
