AFL Rd 11 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Sydney

[Gointocarlton]

Leadership is an interesting area, Id be getting someone like a Luke Hodge to do some work for us in that area, he probably wont leave his FT media work but Id be wanting him to mentor a few of our so called leaders and try and get some action happening in that area.

Do what Adelaide did, target a gun player and leader from another club and offer him the Captaincy.

We simply have no game plan.  Disorganised, leaderless rabble, playing dumb football.

Time to turn this side on its head, give some of the performers in the 2s a crack, and see if we can salvage the ship before we sink to the bottom again.

We shouldn't be too surprised - this malaise started half-way through last season, and the damning fact is we have done next to nothing to turn it around.

I don't know what we can do to change things:
[1] our match committee still pick the same blokes, no matter how poorly they're playing.
[2] We don't make positional changes. if it doesn't work, we stick with it.
[3] We don't learn from the mistakes of the previous week.
[4] We don't take away the opposition's best players, we let them run into form.
[5] We're playing selfish football. Not enough effort to make our teammates look good.
[6] Our disposal has to be the worst in the competition. Even the Weagles, who put in no effort at all, can hit a target better than we can.
Honestly, I don't know what the coaching staff can do, because they don't try to logical things.

Really is hard to believe that every individual at this once great club actually get paid for whatever it is they do. Players can't dispose of the ball to an AFL standard. "Coaches" cannot improve on the skills that said players are delivering. those same "coaches" can't formulate an effective game plan to suit the players. Administrators consistently fail on recruitment of players to fill deficiencies within our structure. They all just live inside the 4 walls with an oblivious attitude to those who are the heart and soul of a football club. The supporters. They get money to put us through this torture, year after year. Are they sadists or are we masochists or is it a combination of both? Anyway think I'll give this site a rest for a week as I'm rambling. I think I've lost my mind

De Koning is completely inept when it comes to marking.

He even juggled a freakin' chest of all things.

[kruddler]

I suggested we do it last week, i demand we do it this week.
Drop Harry.

He is a liability.

He is dropping marks. The ones he takes he can't kick. We are wasted our entries inside 50 going to him. He is useless once the ball hits the ground.
So why are we playing him??

Harry out. Bring back SOJ as 3rd tall and let TDK play from the square.

Cripps, i don't care what miracle you can perform during the week on that ankle. Have the week off champ. Bring Dow in.

Hewitt....will be forced to have a rest. Bring Ed in from the sub vest.

Newman....will be done with a hamstring....bring back Cincotta after his efforts in the 2's.

Hollands....will be an out. Bring back LOB

Durdin....needs a rest. Bring in Fisher and reward his effort in the 2's.

If Kennedy needs a rest, bring in Fogarty.

Give Cowan the sub vest.


OUT: Harry, Hollands, Hewitt, Durdin, Newman, Cripps, (Kennedy)
IN: SOJ, LOB, Ed, Fisher, Cincotta, Dow, (Fogarty)
SUB: Cowan.

We did it with Kernahan in 87. That seemed to work.

[ElwoodBlues1]

It's certainly not something we can call on our own for...
I don't think we've had a good one for the last 20+ years.
Captain or leadership group.
Even Judd was more someone who just led by his own playing ability.
None of them have seemed too inspirational....and the coach/ captain relationship hasn't really seemed too strong with any, if rumours are correct.

Fair Points......Cripps form(excluding injury issues tonight) hasnt been great and his body language isnt right on the field.

De Koning is completely inept when it comes to marking.

TDK has played like a juvenile giraffe since day 1.  All arms and legs with little or no physical co-ordination.  I can't see that changing any time soon.

[Lods]

Might be better to wait until tomorrow to comment further on this one.
It's getting late and the people are angry, my friends.

If the number of folks who are handing in their memberships tonight according to their social media posts then there will be no trouble getting a seat in the second half of the year.

[shawny]

Reckon we have to do it different and stick with Voss and start looking at whats around him in terms of assistant coaches, footy managers and list managers.

The issue is EB who's responsible for our gameplan the constant bombing on top
of the head of our forwards and the lack of nous our forwards have regarding leading making space blocking etc seriously has doing my head in.

HTF is this still happening!!  8 years and still
no improvement at all. i watched this
part of the game very closely tonight andnim
notmkirdong lucky if we tries to spot up a target in F50 4-5 times the whole game. i mean how is this even possible at this standard. I watch local footy and that is much better organised going into the 50 then us.

So is it the players or coach thats responsible?
