Mick coached well. Made the adjustments we needed to win ... we coulda won by 4 goals by the end.

Garlett's kicking for goal is deplorable. I swear every time robinson gets the ball he kicks it straight to them.

Murphy played the best game I've seen him have since Judd was in his prime. Daisy was clever, Buckley could be a gun, Menzel has potential, and Everitt did some good things.

Probably more positives that I woulda thought possible.

Forgot to add

2 out on the full

Did anybody else find the holding the ball decision unusual? How many we're not paid to us? And they got most of theirs for identical scenarios ...very frustrating!
Push in the back to ROwe for Vickery's first mark then umps pin Rowe for identical play up the ground?

I thought pass it to richmond might have worked, maybe we just kicked it to the wrong blokes?

And I liked the idea of a slow, plodding midfield to stand by and watch them run. Learning all the time.

They say stupidity is doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result. We're the kings of stupidity because we stuffed up our rebuild. Every week we take to the field with:

A slow and unaccountable midfield
No height or size in the key positions
Limited ball winning ability
No superstars
Limited ruckmen

But we have no depth to cover any of these deficiencies because we never draft. The Psychologist could answer this, but when was the last draft where we took more than three players? Was it 2010? The reason I ask is that you're hitting and hoping to fill deficiencies when you take one player in the vain effort of filling a gap - especially when your draft record in the second and third rounds is as poor as ours.

To finish things off, the club never levels with us. Each year they recruit rather than draft and hint that we are heading for top 4. I kind of get the trade for Thomas because Micky would have wanted to get someone in to show the others how to play his brand of footy. But trades for Docherty and Everitt were beyond me in a draft which seemed to have a bit of depth until about pick forty.

To demonstrate what I'm on about, here's a question: if you want to add pace to our midfield from outside tonight's squad, who are you going to call up? It's an indictment on our list management.

Warnock would have had more contested handballs from the bottom of the pack than any other Carlton player tonight.

The need for an extractor is URGENT.

GET CRIPPS.

Need to draft for natural ability for the next 5yrs.

Say it slowly and then puke:

Dangerfield
Darling
Fyfe

And THAT folks is why we're flowered.

Everitt was a swap of second rounders and we may (just may) have taken Giles with that higher pick anyway, however, you are right. We recruit and draft players in dribs and drabs and target our most glaring deficiencies rather than target players. It's recruiting based on the negative rather than the positive. We neglect far more than we make up.
