2018 Rd 3: In Game Attitude: Carlton vs Collingwood

[laj]

Drop Weitering and Jones.
Bring in Rowe and A. Silvagni.

Problem solved.

ASOS has another week or two with a hammy but he's ideal to bring in. Still, we have to scrubb up on that on-field attitude though or it will barely matter.

Green shoots shrunk shriveled and died

Gee Kennedy looks slow.  Hopefully it's just more game time.

It’s beyond slow and you can add Weitering - Lance Whitnall speed, without the awareness. Simply embarrassing

This has zero to do with selection.    We just don't have the cattle.

We don't have the cattle, sure. But when you are picking a side there is a relatively simple structure you try to adhere too.

1 (or 2) rucks
a couple of key backs
a couple of key forwards
generous amount of mids
a sprinkling of little blokes up forward and an equivalent down back.

Last week we had...
0 (or 1/2 a ruck in casboult)
4+ key backs
1 key forward
generous amount of mids
sprinkling of little blokes up forward and a simpson and imposters down back

Sure, you can adjust this (and SHOULD) to suit your opposition. This week is better, but still not very well balanced.

Given your penchant of pointing out our (lack of) depth in the midfield, surely we should include an extra one or 2 and cut out a superfluous key back? But NO, not us.

What do we say about Casboult Jimbo?


Where is LP?

[Baggers]

And we thought last week was bad!

We look absolutely clueless.

I’m getting so peeved by the non calls on dropping and throwing the when we lay a tackle. We can barely lay one and then when we do we never get rewarded, yet when we are tackled it’s the complete opposite. Grr.

Cattle is at least enough to get us to 10th/11th. This is just a lack of effort.

Levi almost our best tonight. Good to see.
