Re: AFL Rd 12 Post Game Passing Carlton vs Melbourne

At his media conference, Vossy mentioned that we were too safe and that when we took some risks and went through the middle we looked much better.
So... who's in charge of our attitude to games? Who's responsible for us playing too safe?
I watched the game again this morning. Perplexed. Not sure I would say we played safe... more like 'unsure.' And I think unsure comes before 'safe'... safe is more a symptom of something else. Confused? Unsure? Lack of confidence = Unsure? Game plan too complex?
Liked the games of those who did appear to attempt at least to 'take the game on' - H, Kemp, Cincotta, Cerra & even Acres. Thought TDK, Saad, Boyd (kept a pretty tight rein on Pickett), Weiters and Kennedy were good. Cottrell & Owies below par. Crippa was serviceable but sure does seem 'out of sorts.'
But no matter how you look at it - individualistic/fragmented.
Dunno about Boyd Baggers, I thought he was terrible. Didn't chase a couple of times, was too loose most of the time, couple of OOTFs, just VFL player.
