Carlton Supporters Club

One of the problems we're facing is we are being judged in the moment.
And that's fair.
The question is..."Is what Carlton are producing at present the best they are capable of?"... and I reckon the answer to that is an emphatic "no"

If you read that article carefully it's a mess of rudderless dribble. If they spent more than 5 minutes putting that together, they were clearly interrupted.

I have no issue with changes, but if anyone can come up with King and Montagna's preferred / suggested 22 after reading that, they deserve a medal.

Vision and numbers presented are pretty damning. Watch De Koning let a runner waltz straight passed him without even looking like attempting to tackle.
I think some of the changes suggested are worth trying if nothing else as a circuit breaker. They are tweaks really.

We dont have the leg speed and kicking skills the teams at the pointy end do, simple as that and it won't improve this year.
Defensively we are reasonably solid as me manage to hold teams to low scores.
The problem is we cant seem to score enough points to beat the opposition at the moment, this can change if:
- Charlie and Harry can get motoring
- We can improve delivery to them.
I think we can forget about small fwds performing for us, we dont have the cattle in this dept.
The players have been consistent in their messaging in various interview that they feel they are better than what they showing at the moment. They have 20 odd weeks to show us.

So I guess then if we can beat Weagles this week by a goal or two then all the naysayers will be right, and those who think we need a few tweaks will be not so right.   This week should tell us a lot about what expect for the rest of the season.

We have more basic problems and thats players short stepping , pulling out of contests and tackling like schoolboys.
Other coaches wouldn't tolerate such poor commitment but our standards are so much lower...

Fair enough, but I've given my thoughts on the Fox/ Murdoch house style many times before, so no need to repeat them here. You can frame, cherry pick and edit a set of clips to present many perspectives. I'm certainly not suggesting everything is hunky dory, but they don't present a balanced view IMO.

The persons employer means nothing to me.

In my case, once you see something, it's very difficult to unsee it.

What I am having trouble unseeing is the way we play.
