I don't see what there is to lose by doing this, even if you play Dow out of position at half forward and he runs around and doesn't touch it for 4 quarters.

At least Dow can go into a stoppage and might be able to provide some burst.

I actually think Voss answered this one after the game last night. He said something to the effect of “we would have lost that game by 6 goals last year…” So he obviously saw an improvement in our ability to stop the opposition scoring a run of goals and our ability to stay in a game even when it’s not being played on our terms.

What areas of improvement are the focus for Carroll in 2023?

That doesn’t instill me with confidence. We need to be better than that. A defensive mindset only gets you so far. Need to find a better balance between offence and defence. Our slow ball movement may keep us competitive but won’t win you flags. It’s only early in the year so let’s hope we keep our better players on the park and show some real improvement this year.

Agree with this. I also don't like the "power off' sign being held up with so long left in each quarter. Reminds me of the hold the ball up in the air in the Ratten era. Tells the opposition we've essentially chucked it in for the quarter and have little intention of doing anything. They turn up the heat, keep it in their forward 50 and our backs can only hold on for so long.

Agree

He taught the boys when it’s time to flood, and it worked just as it did since Wallace introduced the super flood vs Effendope in 2000

Why don’t we rotate more players through the centre square? Would it help the likes of Fisher, Martin, Motlop and C. Durdin to get into the game if they were part of the rotation? Especially when we’re not dominating the clearances and need to mix things up.

Do you have faith in implementing an innovative and sustainable game plan that goes beyond all the "contested ball" rah rah"

Also, why did you drop Dow after the Coll game last year? Surely he was not the worst and surely you could have wrapped your arms around him and given him another chance (just like Fisher's X50 chances)

Dow and Fisher play different roles?

Dear Micheal….

why have we adopted the stand 5m back from
the mark play…?

surely all this is doing is giving away extra
metres to the opposition…?

please can we just man the mark…and make them
try and kick over someone…the umps are calling
play on rather quickly these days…and we’re
already 5m further away to run in…!

i don’t like it…i don’t like it a LOT…!


kindest regards tommi

Why the subtle shift in external messaging? Have you lost belief that we can deliver against expectations?

Fisher is a mid/small fwd

Dow is a mid who can spend time inside f50 as (forward)-mid around contests and a crumbing mid to the tall timber (in the same way as when you rove to a ruckman) when the ball is sent I50

Fisher has done SFA for most of his career

Dow hasn't done much either EXCEPT Dow isn't afforded the same block of games as Fisher

I'm neither a Dow apologist nor am I a Fisher basher. I am however firmly of the belief that sometimes you give players a block of games...Dow doesn't get that. Fisher and Owies do

Around 10 or 12 of your players (ie. roughly a quarter of the playing list) are unavailable in round 3 due to injury, and half of those are foot or calf injuries. As senior coach, do you feel sufficiently supported by our high performance staff?

What role is Fisher playing when he drifts out of the game for loooooong periods? Passenger is not a position we need to fill.

How do opposition teams score so many goals from Carlton forward 50 entries?

What he sees in Obrien.
How can he get Fisher into the game more, as he is quality when he has it but doesn’t have it enough.
Why we have trouble at the kick ins and the opposition waltz out so easily.
Why we look so flat the week after we have a good win.
Why we have so many injuries.

And the list goes on.
