AFL Rd 11 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[WASurfer]

If nothing else LL, that would make a statement. Maybe Hewett into the 22 and one of those listed as the sub? Sydney are missing tall players at both ends of the ground.

I watched a clip from Footy Classified where both Bartell and Lloyd said Voss should be focusing on the positives in an effort to build up the their confidence which is rock bottom right now. Jimmy in particular said the Geel group responded to that type of reinforcement far better than the reviews which were all about showing vision and saying "you should have done this, you should have done that". He suggested show them highlights of the good passages of play say from early last year to remind them them they good footballer, are Brownlow Medallists, are Coleman Medallists, can execute under pressure. I think right now, it appears to me the whole club is as low as pregnant ant so this level of reinforcement needs to start from the leaders top down.
Anyway, I found the comments interesting but certainly worth trying some Navy Seal type stuff. That SAS TV show is exactly what its all about.

Yep, positive reinforcement. Take off the negative shackles, remove fear of mistakes, encourage free flow, risks, fun, enjoyment... focus on positives and what each admires about the others... go to Sydney today and have some fun together. Watch a comedy together, whatever. Bonding.

Not sold on Kemp. Like everyone else, I’d love to see him live up to his status as a first round pick but he exhibits the same flaws that see others pilloried. Last week, he shortpassed in D50 after taking the kick-in only to see an opponent intercept mark (and has done similar in a previous VFL game). He had the opportunity to tackle an opponent who ran into him at CHF but the opponent bounced off him and kept going. And after being out marked 45m out when his opponent was out of range as he was kicking into a gale, Kemp pushed him to the ground in frustration to give away a 50m penalty and a goal. No doubt he also racked up some intercepts himself but those sorts of errors at VFL level make me wonder how reliable he’ll be against a desperate and well-drilled Swans on their own dung heap.

Further to what I wrote before, this group folds under expectation/pressure. Classic low confidence/leadership/trust stuff. We should want to eat expectation and demand more. Enter the training I mentioned previously.

I played local suburban footy (U/13, U/15, U/17 & open-age) in the Essendon District league plus cricket from age 10 till 32 in the local Churches comp (first game was in the U/16 as a 10yo) and it was always instilled in us that sometimes you are going to come up against a better opponent. When you did, you gritted your teeth and went just as hard as you would against an inferior opponent.

Winning was not the occassional thing to achieve, it was a weekly expectation and when we did lose, it actually meant something to us, it hurt !!

When you won a game you were not expected to, usually on the basis of playing as a complete team and genuinely wanting that win, the satisfaction & pride amongst the palyers was immeasurable.

I hate losing, I always have and always will !!

Some of our players seem to just accept it with a sh1t-eating grin on their face. I can't trust players like that and never wanted them in the team with me.

Weitering, Young and McGovern are very poor at the moment and you can add JSOS to that group. I think Kemp deserves an extended run of games to establish himself. My preference is to see him used down back in the intercept role but Id even think about giving him a run forward and seeing if he can take a mark or two and give us a different look.
His form was reasonable before he was dropped and again I question the development of our younger players and the lack of faith and patience shown in them.

[Mav]

Unless he can get the unforced errors out of his game, playing him as an intercept defender might not do wonders for his development. We have difficulty working the ball out of forward presses as it is. We don’t want to be handing the ball back or resorting to less challenging sideways or backward kicks. Once we’re out of finals contention, by all means play the kids.

If he plays and shows he can distribute well by foot after intercepting, then I’ll jump on the bandwagon quite happily.

Only issue with this is we are the absolute worst at defending against slingshot goals, and we have made turnovers our strongest stat.
