Re: Carlton pasted by Pies (Post Game)

Our defense last night was totally unacceptable. I saw some of the most basic fundamentals not being done or followed on multiple occasions.
Either the coaches don't have a clue, or the players simply don't listen and/or obey.
Not good enough !!
Jones had a go in the 1st qtr, but needs a tank, he is not AFL standard, I'd rather play Watson.
I like Armfield, he plays with more heart, than most. His speed is useful.
I like Ellard, but he is not an AFL standard footballer, we desperately need a better quality small forward in this years draft.
I thought Rowe did as good as could be expected against Cloke. Even on days when he is beaten, at least you know that Rowe will always give you 100% effort.
We need about 4 more Cripps and Dochertys out there playing, they are 2 of only too few who go out and play with any pride or passion.
Wood is a better 2nd ruck than Casboult.
I really can't tell if it's poor coaching, or a lack of respect and coachability on the players behalf, but there is something terribly wrong down at Carlton and until the president and board get it all sorted out, the future is looking pretty bleak for the Navy Blues.
