Explains why Young was moved to the other end of the ground late against the Dees...

I just want my old club back ... (edit) maybe I have!

Well Young was very ordinary for a few weeks

And while Weiters wasn't much better my issue is Young seems to get wobbly legs and hands when he has ball in hand and the heat comes

Thanks Braithy.
Always liked your posts.
Yeah some, like mine, a tad emotional, but I will look into this.

I've never noticed.
Weiters is the iceman. He's always been a bit aloof.

The LOB thing is separate.

FWIW, the Carlton News & Leaks twitter account posted this a couple of weeks ago.

If this is true, it's yet another example of SOS' stubborn ness, bringing all those GWS players to Carlton and then Carlton players to St Kilda (starting with Stocker)

Watch us let Dow go and play a solid, reliably role for St Kilda for 5+ years.

I don't think we'll trade Kemp.

Cheers mate, you too.


100% lob was a separate issue ... the vision on film was more indicative of not one "leader" grabbing LOB and letting him know his duties and then the back six as a unit standing there in total silence waiting the ball to go back to the centre. weiters had his back to young the entire time.

then it showed vision of Steve May after we'd kicked a goal and he's barking at players, pointing to parts of the ground and generally doing everything in his power so they don't give up that same goal again.

the juxtaposition of both backlines was night and day. it was a little bit confronting at just how bad we are, tbh

Glad the coaches are in control!!!!!

lol

If B is dependant on A, then we have a pathetic cohort of players who only put in an effort only when they want to...when the conditions suit them...oh, and if history is anything to go by, they will find the conditions unpleasant at some point down the track and we'll sack another coach

If that's the case, you've found the smoking gun

Send them off to the VFL and tell them that when they come to our famous club, they serve each and every coach TO THE BEST OF THEIR F#$%^ ABILITY

Otherwise they can FRO out the door.

Our great club does not deserve you or your capricious behaviours

Saw exactly the same vision. Quite compelling. Wouldn't low-five and wouldn't look at each other in the face
Seriously Weiters...grow up, be the bigger man and show some leadership...f* sook

Our captain is too busy plotting the demise of coach 3 to be worried about uniting the team

And our ex captain is too busy collecting cheap stats from HB (even if his metres gained kicks go straight to the opposition) for his scrap book to even notice that...

Our vice captain is behaving like a pre-pubescent child

Onfield Leadership 010 (bizarro 101)

The only thing is that McClure is a very ardent Carlton supporter so delivering that news wouldn't be that easy.

So we have alot to look forward to for the rest of the season...lol.

Very Carlton. Just as we looked like taking big steps this year we implode internally completely.

Yes but wasn’t he on the same show putting some silly trade proposal for Dustin Martin that didn’t make sense -Pooper is big into hyperbole
Last night couldn’t tell the difference between him and Hutchy who is absolutely a used car salesman

Good to hear about Young/Weitering. I'd be pissed off if our defenders were patting each other on the back and singing Kumbuya.
If Young cant take a bit of criticism for not doing his job, he wouldn't last 10 minutes as Steven May's sidekick.
Our tall backs have been poor. They refuse to play tight on leading forwards and expect wingers and high H/F's to push back and do their jobs for them.
Look at Charlie and Harry lead and see the opposition defenders in their back pockets. Then look at our tall defenders on a lead. They prefer to drop back and fill space. Weak as piss.

It's time for Voss to cast them loose and see if they can defend one on one. If they can't, piss them off at seasons end. It's not Under 10's.
If they cant take honest feedback, they're in the wrong game.

It's disappointing all the media looking for chinks in the armour and structural deficiencies. Our problem is game pace. Move the ball quicker and our forwards wont be outnumbered. We have too many players trying to dictate ball movement. Doc, Weiters, Newman, Acres etc etc. They want to craft a forward entry instead of focussing on putting pace on the ball. They'll move the ball sideways 3 times and then we eventually go long to a contest anyway. The only difference is we've allowed the opposition to push numbers back in the interim.
It's time for the coaches to coach. Forget about letting the leaders dictate ball movement. There's too many egos and personalities at play. I go to the games and watch Docherty call for the ball to go backwards when there are clear forward options. WTF is that?
issue instructions. Move the ball quickly or @#$%&! off. Give it off to the running player or get dragged. If players work hard to create an option and get continually ignored, they'll stop running. There's nothing more certain.
The coaches know the game style they want. It's the on field senior players who are stifling it. Too many agendas and too much responsibility given to players who are abusing the privilege.

Sammy Sammy Sammy.

Sells out his own team for fame and clicks.
Then his own team at 9 stick the knives in and tells him he's a clown.

Is there any credibility left in Sam?

He's better off regretting his back dooring of his childhood team, Carlton, and come back to the fold and accept the fact there's nothing more empowering than sticking with your Blue Brethren than selling out to Croc fkn media & co. Serves yourself right trying to point another bone at us. One is enough.

Maybe Sammy has taken the curse off us now

Sam has Sinned

Correct...the gameplan/Voss can't coach narrative is a simplistic distractor
Do as your coaches ask
Do it to the best of your ability
We ask nothing more
And if you don't like it, ring your manager to start shopping you around, whether you're a rooke or the captain. You don't deserve us

Fkn hell. Tell us what you really think BV.
Great stuff

Pace is a way of thinking.

Weitering Docherty Acres...got me thinking.

What happens if you drop 2 of them, or change their roles?

Pace from the back half...Saad and williams...no Williams around
Boyd Cincotta Cottrel have pace.

I keep hearing Doc' s a steadying influence in the backline.

Kemp likes to run too.

Talk about ability to run, Hollands. Binns. Walsh. Cerra. Martin. Honey. We have a few and a few of them waiting to find their wings.
