Rd 16: Post Game Pessimism: Carlton vs Adelaide

[crashlander]

The gap between us and the good sides is still huge, we need a massive draft/trade period at the end of the season.
Docherty would be further in front than Black Caviar in the B&F, he was outstanding again today.
Actually our back 6 is almost as good as any going around, but our midfield is thin and slow and our forward line non existent.

Very clear on today's performance just how far behind we still are.
However, as Blue4life noted, our back 6 held up very well in circumstances that some other cubs would not have. Perhaps we could do with another strong body, or maybe some run and pace (Ciaran Byrne), but our defence really did a job on their direct opponents.
That there was almost no pressure in the midfield or in the forward line is another issue entirely.
