R7: St Kilda Vs Carlton (match discussion)

Until we can find a way to deal with teams who play physical footy against us we'll continue to get found out.

Seeing us fall apart time after time against this style of play is infuriating.

There's plenty of time left, but we have to get better in the contest. Need to find a way to break the game open.

Softest team in the league.

I'll call it now. No way this mob can win the flag . We've conceded 71 pts to half time . That's a freaking disgrace of the highest order. Back line a shambles, paper thin and no fwd press or defensive mindset anywhere. Coach has to take as much heat as the players bec this has been one way football .

Tackling also pathetic. How many times does Milne break the tackle ?!! AJ has no clue

Bizarrely I still expect us to run over them but we're not going to win a lot of finals playing dumb and lazy football like this.

Jamison's inability to halve a contest is concerning as well - so often this season he tries to get a spoil in then gets outmarked.

Can our coaches not see the flooding around the contest or do we simply have no answer for it, bombers game plan

Few bloke have taken their eye off the ball and fumbled.

It's not soft, it's what happens when the heat goes on. Just got to keep cracking on. They'll fold.

We do not play with enough passion and we're just plain dumb when we have the ball....apart from GWS GC and maybe Port any team that comes out and plays hard at the footy can easily shake us off our game....Saints aren't much chop and have turned the ball over so many times I've lost count and yet we trail by 3 goals haha....

Just a bunch of pretenders. Time to stand up.
Top 4 side - dreamin'

Still, they could still win and paper over the cracks. There is nothing in the seconds that can come up so what we have here is what you get (minus Carrazzo). That is a concern.

Simmo, so often , when he really really really needs to kick a goal, misses.
How often are we all jumping at the bloody ball and leaving their crumbers alone?
Joseph struggling.
Duigan still out of form.
We are not hard enough.Frustrating as all hell this match.

Opposition clubs know that if they pile on the pressure we crumble, Essendon* showed that hunting the ball carrier relentlessly results in relatively easy goals from turnovers. St Kilda have kicked 7 from turnovers.

Makes me sick that a piece of shit like Milne is having a good game.

Coughed up far too many soft goals. The last in particular was terrible. The players had to hold the ball in for 30 seconds and couldn't.

Clearly everyone in the competition thinks we're soft and we are trying to prove it.

BT you flog, Essendon* were in front of us at halftime as well.

Richo, taller goalposts don't impact the players accuracy.

Two goals in the last minute of the first and two in the last minute of the second.
Put Walker, Gibbs or Betts in the middle for a run and Murphy to the HFF for a while to get him into the game.
Our much-vaunted midfield is getting killed for the third week in a row.
Their part-time rucks are getting the first touch and their mids are getting the clearances.
Saad was under our noses for two years at the Ants and NOBODY including the Ants coach saw fit to send him to us. He will be a gem.

This game is winnable but their smalls are on top so the long ball is going in to Reiwoldt for the crumbers. It's our game plan and they're beating us at it. We need some lateral thinking from the coach to get some clearances.

Joseph is getting beaten, which is creating problems in the backline. Ellard?
