Our game style over the last 3 years is based on tough contested stoppage footy
Get the ball to the talls up forward
One it’s predictable We are bottom half for marks inside 50
Two it’s not sustainable
You think about it
Since round 1 2023 Carlton have played 47 games of footy
About Half have been excellent
25% Average
25% Shit
Today was shit even with the injuries
If you based success on that brand of footy your dead in the water in the long run
Carlton have been crap since the GWS game
Today after quarter time the dam broke
And it was so predictable
We get scored against so easily once the ball is in space
Our ball movement was putrid
And there are 17 other teams
If half of them like the Hawks progress your in trouble
So what’s next
The season is done
This list is simply not good enough
To be fair to Voss he has tried to change the game style
It simply hasn’t work because the list isn’t good enough
Good opposition will expose you
We are too slow and have poor skills compared to the other 17 teams soon to 18 with a multitude of draft concessions
I have banged on for years on this site about List Management
Watching Mannagh and Humphries playing for the Cats yesterday who they drafted for a bag of chips it infuriates me that we pay and play players like McGovern and Williams
Mc Govern was utterly disgraceful today towards Kemp even though he played absolute shit
Sure injuries have played major part
But blame injuries for performances like that wallpapers the cracks
With Tasmania coming in the club needs to start again ASAP
They never have stripped it right back and until they strip it back we won’t be in a Grand Final
I think we did strip it right back... we just made dud picks. From 2016 onwards, our top 30 picks have all been busts, save for Walsh and TDK, with the jury still out on Kemp, Motlop and Olli.
The SOS picks are particularly dreadful
SPS, Fisher, Dow, LOB, Stocker, Philp. They should be the core of the team now. Not one of them still on the list. We blew the rebuild through poor top end draft picks.
