Rd 15: In Game Angst: Carlton vs Collingwood

[PaulP]

I must've watched a different game to the one shown on the stats - we had more :
hit outs
cont poss
I 50's
marks inside 50
clearances
free kicks
kicks

- seriously ?

Shows exactly how we miss use the ball when we get it?

[Micky0]

No one in our team wanted to take it on sadly Lots of mucking around chip passing that unfortunately kept getting intercepted

[PaulP]

Shows exactly how we miss use the ball when we get it?

Yes, soon after we possess the ball, we turn it over, and when we eventually get it inside 50 we fail to score, and the thing comes flying out.

Our lack of pace wasn't exposed tonight - it's a shame everything else was.

Really depressed after watching that. Seriously depressed.

Nobody wanted to take responsibility. This was illustrated when Silvagni kicked backwards instead of having a 15m shot from almost dead in front! First gamer, I know but geez!

[Robblues]

True as much as SOJ was an serviceable, there were deer in headlight moments, and as others have said let's put it down to first game. Maybe he mistook the angle he was on for that close shot to goal and did the team thing and look for an option? It's the next game which might give us a better look at how he fits in.
