Playing Curnow in the middle in a tagging role is robbing another younger more creative player of very valuable time in contests, and probably giving up 15-20 possessions over a game in exchange for cutting 10-15 from an opponent. Cripps got sat on today by Howe and still managed 28 touches. Curnow got 24 touches and kicked a goal at half forward. Its a trade off and we lost by 5 points. Cripps was ineffectual today. FACT.Why?

Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn Reply #152 – April 28, 2019, 09:22:03 pm Clarkson's post game media gig was interesting. You can sure tell he's good buddies with BB, stuck up for his little buddy and pumped up our tyres.He emphasised that their 3rd qtr was player driven and not a result of anything he did or said. In particular he said a number of senior players lifted significantly. Quote Selected

Dude, all our coaches since 2000, whether they are rookies or premiership winners, have entered the the Carlton Coach Killer Vortex™ and come out looking sh1t. Pagan 2 flags, MM 3 flags..........As I've said elsewhere, it takes real skill, effort and dedication to do that time and time again. Mav was right. Quote Selected

I know there is trade off between development vs wins but in a 4th year of a rebuild I'd be leaning towards winning the game.It drives me nuts each week how we just hand out BOG's to players who never had an opponent...

Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn Reply #161 – April 28, 2019, 09:38:45 pm What I would like to see from our coach is some clever changes during a game to negate certain opposition players, and a game style that suits what skills our players have. We looked to move the ball backwards or sideways too often today, when targets had potential one on one contests further up the ground. Especially when the heat was on in the second half. Almost as though our players had no faith in their own abilities to kick to advantage. Something BB needs to work on. I’m not a sack the coach critic, but he needs to make some further development in how he improves our game. It wasn’t the “Threepeat” Hawks side we played today. Keep working BB. Keep thinking and listen to what others around you say. Your not bad at all. Just not quite there yet. Quote Selected
