Rd 17: Post Game Disinterested Dissections: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[bratblue]

It's all about variety. Just something different to those 3rd qtr capitulations we used to have..lol.

Nailed it 

[laj]

What hurt alot was those late goals the Dogs got at the end of the 3rd qtr. A manageable 14pts quickly become 26 at 3/4 time. We could save ourselves a few goals a game is we looked after things in red time.

[Baggers]

I don't know, they looked tired to me, from the outset- last weeks game was punishing and of course they should be at a standard where they can put in week after week but they are a young side.

Doesn't help when you're good senior players have stinkers either.

Casbolts miss in the last was just unacceptable. I like him and want him to succeed but just unacceptable. If that hadve gone thru we would've had a sniff.

...which lifts everyone's spirits, ...when he misses such an easy one at a crucial stage you can almost visibly see the collective shoulders slump. He seems to make a habit of that...

We are not going to be successful until we can start hitting the scoreboard........ it's been a problem for a while now.  ( obviously Casboult missing from 15 mtrs out when the game is on the line doesn't help but we are still not capable of kicking winning scores )

I don't think Bolts has said we have the cattle to get us a premierships now, unfortunately rebuilds take time and we have the defence set now pretty much so time to turn our attention to other deficiencies. Goal kicking being the glaring one.

casbolt can look so good when he takes marks but boy that kick on goal was a gimme - unacceptable to miss that. Every once in a while that happening well you say crap happens, unfortunately it is too c ommon. Feel sorry for the bloke but he hadn't done a big chase down so was puffed, he hadn't been stretched much, there was no reason he should've missed that. None.

[maxm68]

there was no reason he should've missed that. None.

I was in my local public bar with about 20 odd people... I roared when he took the mark and laughed and said "we can win this,  even he cant miss this from there " and got a lot laughs......... I got  a lot more laughs when he missed......... farrrrrrrrrrrk  grrrrrrrrrrrrrr


I will watch the reply tomorrow and see if it was my beer goggles playing tricks or not ....

I would love the Bont to come to CFC - love the way he goes about it

[charlieK]

I thought that was poor today. We need to use the ball better through the centre corridor.

[charlieK]

Yes indeed. They were two howlers. Then again, that's the same number of errors that are in the title of this thread.  Thought he did all right after that.

Weiters is fine.  Kerridge and Graham are not.

[LP]

SPS was rubbish today, along with Graham and Casboult.

WOG = Graham 10m clear kicking to players who are 20m clear and missing them by 10m. The other possessions and stats become meaningless when you burn opportunities like that, Casboult take note!

Casboult, he can't kick, had almost no impact at ground level, and when he went into the ruck he surrender all of Kreuzer's hard won momentum, worse the Bulldogs are a team with only B-Grade rucks and 2nd efforts from a ruck can easily negate their small midfield tactics!

WTF is wrong with Sumner?

...............not sure Weitering being played forward has done his game any good...

We've(our club) have set this kids career back two seasons, we did this voluntarily and deliberately! In fact he may never get back to where he was, the yips are in his head now and they are fecking hard to clear! Torn muscles are dead easy to repair compared to psychological damage!
