How many wins and losses this year compared to last? What is Carlton's percentage this year compared to last?
Wins and losses are just one way to measure progress. You should listen to the coach. We are not about measuring wins and losses, we are looking for improvement. Well we beat Brisbane easily last time and this time we lost.
Our playing style has regressed in the past two months to the MM round the boundary and kick it long to a contest. For two months we played fast, attacking, run and carry, exciting football. We even won some games but then we stopped playing that way and winning.
The players love the coach and that's great but it doesn't compensate for a defensive setup that leaks goals like a sieve.
StKilda broke the WR for inside fifty marks last week and many of them were uncontested.
Brisbane had their best quarter since 2014 tonight and had a shitload of uncontested possessions inside fifty.
Are you happy with that?
We have wone more games. We are higher on the ladder. Our percentage is better because we haven't had a 100 point shellacking. They're just numbers. I'm worried about the style of play we have reverted to.
Not sure what people are expecting
We simply don't have enough quality on our list and that has been the case all year
Relying on players like Curnow as a front line midfielder sums up where we are at
Although the last two weeks have been really disappointing and set us back, I am not too fussed as this is what I expected anyway
Nothing has changed, we still need to nail our next 2 -3 drafts, improve our culture, develop our young players etc etc
