In fairness to Pitto I think he could have done even better, he got into the right spot inside F50 a couple of times only to be spoiled marking by his own team-mates.

It's actually a bad habit we have as a team, we've not yet learned to create space rather than take it from each other, part of being a bunch of F50 newbies.

Well if there is only 8 people 'better' than him and he's the exact same, then plenty owe him an apology.

I suspect that his work up forward has been the difference between this year and others.

He set himself a pre-season goal to kick 20 goals for the year...he's on track so far.

I'm not buying that data, not sure where they got it from?
It's not the official AFL player ratings.

His shot for goal last week was anything but elite.

It happens.

Charlie missed an easier one.... and he wasn't playing in the wet.

The torp he did last year was though.

Others being asked to develop their leadership skills? Weaning off Crippa?

Agreed, and possibly an opportunity to send a message.

The media will claim it was sending a message to Cripps on the bench, because there hides the controversy and the clicks.

But for me it was more than likely a message from the coach to the blokes in the centre square, and perhaps in conjunction Hewett's absence is more about a lack of fault rather than disciplining or punishment.

The coach showed them what it's like when you haven't got someone sacrificing for your benefit! So I'd be having a close look at the replay to see who was the middle in their absence! Was there a Judas?

The major culprit for the issues in the middle, when Cripps was off, were the umpires - in my opinion!!    2nd quarter we gave up 6 centre clearances in a row,  and 4 of them were free kicks (all of which were dubious).  wouldnt have matterred if diesel, kouta and ratts were in there, we would have struggled

Interesting, I've heard that some past players(not Carlton) were talking along similar lines on one of the post game streams, not questioning the decisions because that happens, but questioning how they all seemed go one way!

For me that is confirmation of bias which I've talked about on other threads, it happens because umpires are human and they subconsciously anticipate Carlton having "a moment". It's not deliberate but an effect of having an expectation.
