AFL Rd 5 2023 In Game Angst Carlton vs Adelaide

[PaulP]

Gutsy quarter. Shame about those junk time goals. Game not over by any means.

Couple of more observations:
- We tackle far too low leaving the arms free to dispose effectively.
- We are slow to either give off or kick, opposition know this and they close hard on us putting us under pressure. We do the complete opposite when we don't have it, we give them time and space.
In any case, it's now official, we are Adelaides Bitches.

We've been good in the air. Tonight we're not in the marking contest.
What's going on there?

Porn-mo Fogarty is marking in the danger zone. Our defence is off.

F'n pathetic in last 5 minutes. WAP.
Reckon Weitering shits himself if he sees Taylor or Fogarty.

We are too slow and predictable.

Jack Silvagni...... tries hard but is not AFL standard. Disposal is just not good enough.

[LoveNavy]

Not 15 metres according to the umps.

And the last kick of q2 to Fogarty was ?

[pinot]

Getting smashed in the clearances.
But doing better in stoppages this week.

And the last kick of q2 to Fogarty was ?

I thought the 1st  quarter umpiring was terrible. Better in the second, but that decision was suss.

As Hodge said on radio this morning, Adelaide plays a system based game. We are totally systemless at the minute. Every disposal is one in hope. We crowd areas and deliver to those areas instead of creating space (and hence time) for ourselves. When we turn it over, the other mob is off to the races because guess what? They are in space.

We need to man up not guard grass
