What is the game plan? What are the structures? Either the players aren’t sure or our opponents are well and truly onto them? When it’s not working, what is plan B (and plan C)? We have a group of elite footballers that don’t work as a team. It’s not the personnel at fault. It’s the management of them. Our new club song is “Land of Confusion” (if Phil Collins doesn’t mind)
I’m liking Matthew Cottrell. Disposal efficiency will improve when he realises he has a bit more time, but he’s putting in the effort and finding the pill
Interesting “Access All Areas” on the AFL website today. Examines and compares 6 “holding the ball” scenarios that ALL went against Carlton. The only consistency was ruling against the Blues. Better not watch it Baggers because it will make your blood boil.
For all their recent form woes, don’t forget that the Hawks have beaten the Tigers AND THE LIONS this year. Their ladder position is not a true reflection of the danger they posed.
As for the blow-out at the end, sounds like from what BB said once we lost the lead we were trying to win the game, (i.e. score ourselves) not limit the damage
Let's give some credit to Brisbane...they played well, they had some organisation, they kept it moving quickly...when they're on they are on; they looked this good against the Dockers at home too. The umpires need to wake up over Mathieson and his weak knees in a tackle. That first free gifted them a goal...Cunningham's(?) tackle was under his armpits the whole time. Mathieson is a squib that will increasingly draw derision
