Pre Game Preparations: AFL 2021 R3 Carlton vs Fremantle at Marvel

[cookie2]

Not so much miles away, we don't work hard enough on a consistent basis. Embedded over the last 20 years.

That worries me Jim. Not working hard enough for 20 years sounds like a very serious problem that will be extremely hard to fix.

Yep,I'm envious.....

Good on the swans.

hope teague makes our lads watch the way the Swans are going about it....

(before tomorrow)

Shows what a good culture and good system can do.  Big turnover in players, doesn’t matter, just keep the course. 

Longmire, Clarkson (as much as I hate him) and Hardwick (don’t like him much either) bloody good at it. Set the culture and almost doesn’t matter the cattle you have

It certainly has been. Become a habit. That's the tough task for our coach. Made us very competitive but we lose too many by not switching on too often.

Yep.  A bunch of kids and no names flogs the reigning premier.  Meanwhile we're neck deep in the same old ordure. Because their culture is first class and our I'd a deadset joke.

Sorry,  but playing the likes of Murphy is just prolonging the pain and epitomises our entrenched problems.  Gotta rip the band aid off and start afresh,  not keeping going back to the same old well.  It hasn't been good enough for 15 years,  why stick with the same names?

Murphy needs to be only played in 'easy' games if our objective is to nurse him to 300.

Watching the Swans today makes me very envious. This is what I expected us to become and God knows we've been trying long enough. From what I've seen so far we are miles away.

Swans have done very well out of their academy, one of our problems is that teams like the Swans dont stay down for long and allow us easy passage up the ladder. They are already rebuilding well, are competitive again and never seem to fall off a cliff like we have seen with the Crows last season and now Nth.

[Professer E]

What happened to earning games?  Does he get gifted games just because he had a good one back in the day? 

[PaulP]

I'm not quite sure where this idea of gifting games to Murphy comes from. Somehow, I seriously doubt it.
