Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 7: Carlton vs. North Melbourne

Today there was a clear disconnect from half back through to half forward.
This is what happens when you lose 313 games of experience on one side (Simpson) and a solid contributor on the other side (Newman) and replace them with a first gamer (Stocker) and a bloke who hasn't played an AFL game for over 2 years.
We just couldn't get setup today and move the ball
Nuh, not buying it. If only it were that simple... if Simpson and Newman are worth 10+ goals, holy cr@p are we a one dimensional side in deep trouble. If you look closely, from the get go we looked confused, even lethargic at times.
The Kangabies lost a key defender in the 2nd qtr for the game yet it didn't wrinkle their application and ruthless attitude.
Again, when challenged with bona fide pressure we cr@p ourselves, been that way for years... it embedded in our culture now. Opposition sides know it.
