Carlton Supporters Club

Another bad handball from Cripps

Would have been nice to get the Ashcrofts and Fletcher for F-all, plus a swag of A-grade imports

"Carlton's pressure rating of 152 against St Kilda was its lowest of the season, but that's no surprise. The Blues are the only team in the AFL yet to have a single game this year where they've recorded a higher pressure rating than their opposition."

Thats not a skill issue

Its not a skill issue. But can still be a consequence of poor skill.

How many times do you see us on a fast break, deliver forward, straight to the opposition.
Players drop their heads, opposition run it back for a goal. Players drop their heads more.

Instead of that 'captains goal' type lift that give you a boost, we are constantly let down instead.

A Harry miss.
A Florent turnover.
A Walsh holding the ball.

It saps the guys of energy and desire.

Pressure rating gives an indication of effort. The fact we have haven't once got a better pressure rating better than the opposition is indicative. Not side side full of real effect. More like someone has lost his players, especially his leaders. Weitering pretty well intimated that during the week.
