In Game Attitude: 2019 Rd 3: Carlton vs Sydney

[Professer E]

Another game,  another ruck kills us.

Levi Casboult.  Over him.

Strange that McKay is still rucking at times

[Barbs]

How ist that we have 4 talls down back and on multiple occasions not one of them has gone up to spoil a marking contest?

I'm not Jones' biggest fan, but credit where it's due - up to now, he's done a fair job on Buddy. Well done.

Would also have to be the cleanest, most honourable and honest player I think I've ever seen.

f&ck, f*ck and double f%cking f$ck! >

Looking at the stats sheet, 9 of the 10 players with the fewest disposals are from Carlton.
Gibbons hasn’t even got a disposal.
Polson, Lobbe and O’Brien have 2.
Thomas and jones 3.

Think of it this way. Our leading disposal winner is first year player Walsh. He has had more possessions than 6 players put together.

Won’t win a game with so many passengers.

O’brien, Polson, Gibbons, Lobbe are they playing?

Add in Dow and settlefield as having ordinary games and I’m surprised we are not 6-7 down.

Weitering and Jones down back and Cripps and Walsh in the middle have been huge but unless we get a more even spread in the second half the flood gates will open.

Cripps must be getting very tired of having to do it all.

Jones's 3 earns him the "Robert Klomp TV award".  ;D
He's having a good battle with Buddy.

Jones doing well on Buddy....Lobbe getting caned by Sinclair though, need our forwards to work better together, they just look like individuals playing their
own game....Cripps doing well even though being tagged by Kennedy who is going ok himself....

Dow winning the ball well but gone back to his TAC cup days with some poor kicking...needs to use his hands more and give the ball off....

What I want to know, is why is the club so good at drafting guys who simply don't have the basic skill set required to play the game.

F@cking Dow. I don't think one of his kicks spun correctly or hit a target. This is not the first time either. I was concerned by it in his first year, but it's continued on this year.

How can a pick 3 have basically no idea how to kick?  Doesn't surprise me considering the number of first round picks who we've drafted just can't kick. If it's not not Murphy or Gibbs when he was here, then it's Dow.

I get a horrible feeling Dow is another bust.
