Pre Game Perambulations: AFL 2020 R11 Carlton vs West Coast

Pity we didn't play this mob in Qld!
Live Long and Prosper!

This is not looking good at all after this round's horror story. Looks like we can't play in Perth like we did in Qld!

We're likely to beat the Eagles then lose to Freo the next week. That is Carlton.

We will not get anywhere near the Wet Toast. Will be just about at the top of their game and they will smash us into itsy bitsy bitsy pieces. Some of our players may start to cry.

Plenty of pain to feel after this game. Really hope we don’t get smashed, but fear it could be the worst loss by any side this season.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Got an extra week given the bye to review the hell out of that debacle and provide some honest 360 feedback, players, coaches, water boys, you name it. Freshen up for a few days then train the house down, and bring mouthguards fellas. As far as changes? Not really sure who can come in and make a difference but Moore has to go. McKay couldn't have been right, he was just as bad as Moore last night. Teague and the MC's challenge is to find a combination that plays consistently every week. At the minute, this team is junk in that regard and I'm sick of the excuses around this. I suspect that the combination doesn't exist amongst the current crop. They deliver brilliance one minute, then a 62 point turnaround the next.

Well if they did that to Collingwood last week, just imagine what we are in for.

It's Carlton. We are likely to win that and lose to Freo...haha.

What side loses to Melbourne then goes down to win at Geelong, the toughest place to play, after smashing them for 3 qtrs.That would be Carlton. Playing well against top sides is no issue. It's those other sides that worry us.

Welcome to the world of a developing side. 2 steps forwards, one horrible, frustrating step back. Our ability to be brilliant and bad in the same game is something we have to get rid of.

Developing, always developing. Feels like they have been developing for 15 years.

We are developing. You'll get these results sometimes at our stage, and it's worse now because more is expected. It's not happening overnight. That away the frustrations and you'll see overall it's alot better. We've combined brilliance with crap this year, as up and coming sides do. What side loses to Melbourne the wins at Geelong, the toughest of all grounds, the next. One week efficiency and ball use off the charts, as Bevo described it, and in the wet, other weeks not AFL standard. That's unfortunately what happens when developing. You dont have that consistency. Often we do it in the same game, costing us about 6 places on the ladder.

Live ladder looked good during the 2nd qtr showing us 6th. Looks crap now it's showing 12th.

Extra week?

We have 9 days until our next match. We play next Sunday.

Give the boys an extra couple of days, sure, but don't flog them. We need to be fresh for the eagles on their home deck.

Cripps is broken, he needs a break or he won't be at our club much longer, and at the moment his trade worth is plummeting anyway. It doesn't look to me like Captaincy suits him.

I love him, but I think it's best for him to have him release the captaincy, get it onto Weiters or someone a few years younger as a long term project, a successor to Docherty. Set Cripps free!

Further if we think there is a chance he is going we might as well get him mentally and physically fresh and then get whatever we can out of him before he leaves. He has pride, he won't waste our time like Hendo or Tuohy.

We're highly unlikely to beat Wet Toast over there anyway, so why flog a dead horse next week! Further, Wet Toast have outside run that makes the Dawks look slow!
