Re: Post Game Commiserations AFL 2020 Rd 15: Carlton vs GWS

Eddie looks gone, played on the kid Aish and couldnt get near it all night....
They know all his tricks, it makes it tough for Betts and he hasn't got someone like Tex clearing his path to goal, McKay is yet to learn about the reward of sacrifice and wants to be the man 100% of the time, but that doesn't mean Betts isn't playing a useful role in the team!
Two weeks in a row we've missed easy goals due to rubbish skill errors, ignoring BTs commentary bullcrap about how hard it is to kick across your boot on the run which only muddies the thought process with fantasy.
I hope that the club has set Betts to spend some time with guys like McKay and Martin to iron out those little glitches and it will add 10 goals a season to both players!
But there is worse. Last night two or three times I watched GWS run down or close out our ball carriers by running right past Carlton team-mates unhindered, it's will be clear as day on the replay. On one occasion it was Casboult spectating, on two others it was Williamson. Both players made zero effort to hinder the approaching GWS player and both times it either cost us a easy goal or awarded GWS an easy goal. No opponent should ever get a clear run past one of our players towards a team-mate, ever! It basically cost us the game!
