AFL Rd 7 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[madbluboy]

How about Cincotta into the backline and Zac goes half forward?

Been thinking that the last 3 weeks the opposition is scoring very easily against us on transition Listening to Sunday pre game and they were talking about our Defensive transition I think and came up with the following stats.

Adelaide: 25 scoring shots from 49 entries.

GWS: 27 scoring shots from 51 entries.

Geelong: 28 scoring shots from 45 entries.

Better than 50% from each team.

That will not stand up in finals.

Good thing is it is something that can be fixed and worked on during the season.

When we get our pressure rating over 200 no-one in the competition can touch us. Every aspect suddenly becomes strong including defensively. Problem is though we let it drop right back too often and too easily. Can't do 200 all game, 240 against GWS when we crushed them in the 10 min period, but we must keep it consistently in the 180s, not 150s. That's about switching on mentally.

2nd half of the year, when we start to peak, we should see more of that pressure.

Sounds like a plan we have so many players that are a liability at this moment and he is one huge culprit. He's only switched on when he feels like it. Must be laughing at us taking $4m over six years...another two years to go with Zac this is turning into a nightmare - we are paying him too much to play VFL. We are stuck with him...

Voss or Cook need to respond to that.

Why hasn't Cincotta been playing in the 2s?

[Professer E]

Must play this week.  Example needs to be made...three weeks of poor defending is two weeks too many.

[Gointocarlton]

Not wrong...its a fair spray...

I dont enjoy potting our players but he was very ordinary. Lets see how he responds.

Agree on Cincotta, thought ZW  might go ok on the wing vs a very out of form Sidebottom, maybe the coach could challenge him with N.Daicos who plays off half back to shut him down..

I'd be tempted to play Zac Williams on a wing, rather than Ollie Hollands. Ollie is struggling and needs to time in the VFL to regain form and confidence.
Cincotta can play tight, he can even play midfield, which I didn't expect to see. he has real depth on his kicks as well.

Im a little concerned with Ollie Hollands lack of development. Not sure whether he is star struck and head got too big but been underwhelming. Ginbey, McVee, Wilmot and many others are hitting some PBs but Ollie has stagnated and even gone backwards.

Needs to regain touch and confidence.

Zac Williams was subbed out last week, and possibly wasn’t cherry ripe for this game. Leaving aside significant personal issues and time out with injury, he should be given a chance to prove himself. Everyone plays a bad game at some point.
