If I could change 2 or 3 things about the way we play:
1. Halve the height of our field kicks. If it means shortening the kick so be it.
2. EVERY player to a man MUST charge toward the man with the footy and apply pressure. No corralling, no easy disposals.
3. Stop HBing to player under immense pressure. Wear a tackle or Look for a kick instead.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

This game is being played at a frenetic pace and a number of our players are not accustomed to that level of intensity resulting in marginal errors like missed handball targets etc.

Furthermore, our guys are taking the game on regardless of the circumstances which is not a bad thing but there has been some costs. Walsh has gone back to his old ways of trying to break through the first, second & third tackle and is getting caught instead of doing the team orientated and instinctive thing and dishing off the first handpass.

Acres looks a little underdone and fumbling beaue of the pace of the game too. McGovern, who has been reasonable in the past fortnight, is beng found out tonight against a much tighter & tougher opposition. I'm not a fan of Flynn Young at all but he's giving it a really fair go tonight, just a half a step off the pace of the game which is hurting. 

We really had our chances in that quarter, the poor kicking for goal cost us dearly though.

Just can't put the cue in the rack in the second half, I'm not expecting us to win here but I definitely want to see us fight it out right to the end.

Our short passes are overhead marks, theirs are grass cutters.

I think once the game opens up more they will run over us.

Geez, when H is in the ruck or on the bench, there ain’t much to kick to in fwd 50.   Kicking to kemp in a 2on 1 isn’t a recipe for success

Tend to agree. Our pace will likely fall away as the game goes on.
Reality always wins in the end.

I get why we dropped Hewett earlier.
I don't get why we didn't drop Cerra instead.

I think Geelong will be the best side we play all year. With 6 blokes under 12 games, which is a good thing for us longer term, but might sting us tonight. But that's ok.

Best, worst.....whatever. We match up well against them and i'd much rather play them than Brisbane or Sydney
