Rnd 6 Carlton v Brisbane-post mortem

[Thryleon]

Thry, the game plan makes everything difficult for us. We get no easy ball, it's all grinding, scrappy hard stuff. 3 years, FA uncontested marks, FA uncontested possessions. Our forward line clogged, our D50 full of space and one-on-one contests, sometimes with a giant on a midget (this week it was Murphy on Leuenberger).

We were playing man-on-man at a kick-out FFS.

So a function of our game plan is to pass to opposition players?

There is no way shape or form that our game plan is to play kicking the ball to our opponents.

Nor is any real game plan based on bombing long.

That's your get out of jail hail Mary hit and hope, and we do it frequently because we don't pass the ball to each others advantage and we don't work hard enough for our teamates.

Teams cut up through the wings because there is usually space to work there whilst the corridor is more heavily guarded.
