2 year anniversary of us equalling the record of 5 consecutive wins by more than 50pts. Those were the days.God, those were the days! May they come again soon! But we have to learn how to kick first!

Second time I have bumped this from Shakin
"Carlton rank last for kicking efficiency, disposal efficiency, overall kick rating and kick rating for kicks going into the forward 50. They are second worst in kick rating for shots at goal."

Change the forwards all you like it won't make a difference till we fix the delivery.
Sure our conversion rate has also been poor but it's not like Charlie and TDK have been dropping sitters. We are the worst team in the comp at brining the ball inside 50.
Watch Essendon last night. Remember that Liam McMahon>Harry Lemmey (based on performances at VFL level).
McMahon kicked two goals from 5 posessions and one Tackle and one mark.
One of the goals of which was a free that wasn't there.
Odds are, we will get that performance out of Lemmey, without the not there free kick.
....and that will be better than about 6 of the small forwards we are playing in the team who can't kick a goal.
Lemmey is not the type to come in and get 20 touches and kick 10.
However, if he gets 5 touches and kicks 2 goals, i'd take that every week.
2 goals a week is 46 goals for the year.....who cares how many possessions he gets, as long as he hits the scoreboard. Somewhere along the line we forgot the main job of forwards is to kick goals. We are so fixated on team defence, that we tell our forwards that defending is #1 priority and we suffer as a result.
FYI, Curnow has only kicked 27 goals from 16 games.....which is less than 2 goals a game.
