Rd 17: In Game Emotional Outbursts: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[PaulP]

When you don't have any forwards in your side, there's a fair chance that their backs are just surrounding him waiting for us to bomb it and converge on him.

What he needs to do is LEAD at the guy with the ball.

Most of our marks inside 50 are pagans paddock style running back.

We don't know how to lead at the ball carrier.

I've also noticed that we never ever lead to the ball carrier. Waite was the last forward to do this regularly. How hard can it be ?

It is not those leading making the errors today, the delivery is unbelievably poor.

I don't even know if I can watch this last quarter, feel physically sick at that last 5 minutes.

I felt physically sick at the footy last week.

Turns out it was gastro.

Was not a fun car ride home.....didn't make it.  :-[

And way too many of our ball carriers can't Fking kick to save themself.

Graham twice that quarter just needed to hit a 20 metre target and we get an easy shot at goal. Mucked both up.

Our kicking into F50 today is back to the malthouse days!

[Micky0]

Another unpleasant quarter to watch.

They do look knackered though. Simpsons kick into the dogs player when we should've been going towards goal! So frustrating!

Let them have two easy ones at the end so dead quarter now

I'm not disputing our mids are not using it well.
When you have Kerridge and Graham as 2 of your best mids, you take what you can get.

But i'm not talking specifically about this week. We just don't lead properly, Casboult prefers to run and jump at the high ball as it leaves him closer to goal.
Charlie and Jack don't quite have the leg to take the ball around the 50.

Leaves us very 1-dimensional and adds to our forwardline issues.

my thoughts exactly, would have loved to have him still, as a player, and maybe to show some of our forwards technique .

[Robblues]

Lacking penetration so far in the last qtr keeping hold of the ball but nothing on the scoreboard

[PaulP]

I understand why Bolton is keen to play his flooding, keepings off style. But I simply don't agree with it.

Alex down to the rooms.
