Rd 16: Post Game Pessimism: Carlton vs Adelaide

[BluePhantom]

Well put , you are right it is a running scrum these days , not a fan either, look like a bunch of buffalo running over the plains. Few  positional players , lots of inbetweeners & pretend mids. No wonder we have no natural goal kickers. Bunch of "Jack of all trades " and masters of none . I realise we are the first year of a rebuild etc , but what about the year its self? I know it will sound like " Back in my day rant " but the football in the 80's was good, 90's sped it up , had the attributes that made our game great & distinctive , great high marking, running , positions, with flair. Then the 00's came , zones of this and every description , change this , change that mould every player so they can play 20 possies , we lost so many skills we dont see any more.  Pheeew needed that , several have said in the various threads , about being a forward in our set up would be a tough ask, and so right. Can see another major shake up late this year , but please lets get players for roles to balance the team  , not a bunch of multi taskers like we have now in abundance.

It always looks like a Juniors game where the Ump has to keep telling everyone, "Come on boys spread out now"

Teams with fast hands in close quarters look good.
