When the match committee sit down and select the team, I presume they look at each player and say....'What will he give us?' From that question I presume the committee each make comments about the player.

When you get to Garlett, and they want to play him in the backline..................I wonder who speaks first and I wonder what they say he will bring to the team.

I just wonder.

Carltons biggest problem for many years now, aside from actual lack of talent, is that we simply have very few players who actually B-Line ball in a ferocious, 'Get out my way' manner.

Every Richmond player B-lines the footy as if his life depends on it. They run hard and straight and they mow down whomever is in their way.

How many do we have that play in that fashion? No-where near enough to get the job done.

And after that we then have the old........1, 2, 3 possession, turnover. 1,2,3 possession, turnover. And tonight those 1,2, 3 possessions gained 30 metres sideways. Or when that didn't work we went out of the backline......1, 2. Hold, Hold, Hold, Hold, Hold. Kick long to a contest, outnumbered at the fall, turnover.

We are playing one of the best defenses in the game and each time from our HB line, we gave them 30 secs to set up properly, before we tried to hit a pinpoint pass over 30 metres, then turned it over to the swarm of gut running Tigers.

I'm hoping Blue Vain can explain our game plan to me with a crayon drawing because I am at a loss. I do get that if we didn't keep turning the ball over we might actually have some form of game plan so I guess Bolton has an out there, of sorts.

For mine I liked Walsh, Cuningham, McKay (not in the ruck) Setterfield and Fisher.

Cunners no 1 ranked player on the ground at HT, excellent in the 2nd qtr.

Harsh on SPS imo too.
