No other team in AFL kicks more straight to opposition than Carlton players ,been happening for years ,turnover goal very sad.

I thought it was because of the Lions clash jumper was too similar to our jumper. That's why when our players looked up and saw a player and kicked it straight to them.
Unfortunately it was a Bears player.
It can be the only explanation. 

Kennedy had as many inside 50s in one quarter (and a fraction) than everyone else (on both sides) had for the entire game

WTF is he doing sitting on the bench.

Walsh had plenty of ball but his disposal was pretty poor. He just didn't seem right. Normally he'd get the ball away cleanly in those tight situations but he got caught a couple of times.

And HOW COME we have two Coleman medalists in our forward line who can outreach 98% of the competition, a Brownlow medalist running the engine room, yet the game plan is obsessed with a backline kicking sideways and a midfield racking up uncontested possessions instead of using speed into our forward line to isolate our goal kickers...?

And HOW COME we have the same passengers as small forwards each week??

And HOW COME we have reserve players not being rewarded for effort week after week...??

And HOW COME, when we know Brisbane try to rag doll us, do we leave Kennedy on the bench as a sub...??

And HOW FREAKIN' COME did we sub Young off - one of our best backmen - and leave Honey, Motlop, Durdin on the ground...??

Perhaps also worth bearing in mind that Fagan has been lauding Dunkley's game as one for the ages. Not sure why he had to play his best ever game against us............

Walsh had a shocker with his disposal the other night.
It was 50%
He just didn't seem right.
Situations where he would normally get the ball away, he was caught.
Hopefully he just had a bad one.
But Walsh rarely has a bad one

There is a difference between being match fit and on top of your game. Just because Walsh is 'match fit' (and should be playing) doesnt mean he is going to be at his dominant best immediately. He's had NO preseason and significant back surgery.

Last year he came back 'match fit' but took a number of weeks to hit 4th gear. I'm confident that 4th gear this year is not far away....but will it be too late, is the question.

And why was Young the one to make way?
It should have been Honey imo.

Young was terrible and refused to contest properly a couple of times....not easy subbing off your KP backman and leaving the team unbalanced but I understand the frustration of Voss and agree with what he did.
