Damning stat. We lead the half time ladder by a fair way, 11-2, 133%, yet we sit 6-7. Real pattern right there.
There in lies the frustration of being a Carlton supporter. I've never been so pissed off at a Carlton team. This side promises so much and delivers naught but disappointment
I can't for the life of me work out of its a fitness thing or instructional from the coaching group led by Voss. Are they trying to play tempo footy? We are capable of dynamic exciting football which is what we do early, but then we try to slow the game down and manage it. Problem is we can't turn it back on. Once we slow the tempo down, all we do is invite the opposition into the game. Then they get a sniff and their belief grows while we get stuck in a run of negative, slow dour ball movement and can't snap out of it.
I just can't see this happening if Craig Macrae was at the helm. The buck has to stop at Voss. Another wasted season beckons. And another wasted generation of talented footballers at the Carlton football club under an inept coach
for mine, it's coaching and/or fitness.
we get the lead with run and dare and looking for the corridor. then we slow it down to the contested grind along the wings and slow play it. that is 100% instructional from the box.
are players getting told not to run & overlap bcos it bends them out of defensive shape and voss is happy with what we got? or, does voss/ coaching tell them to slow it down bcos they know they aren't fit enough (like say pies, cats) to do this for 4 qtrs?
either way ... for me. coaching has to take the fall. they can do better with this list.
someone mentioned earlier. with no walsh i was looking forward to lord in the middle. the only mid who sticks tackles, lowers his eyes and delivers a beautiful F50 kick. but no, voss sticks motlop and his zero contest, zero awareness, poor footskills game into the middle. it kills me.
keeps picking docherty, and every week docherty does very little. another game of turnovers while his direct opponent runs past his jogging ass time and time again.
You may be right. Someone’s view has to be close to the pin.
For the first time this season Vossy said clearly he didn’t want them to drop the intensity. They obviously did.
What shits me is why didn’t he motivate them to take on the game in the last quarter. I know the conditions were shit, but shit for both sides. The players aren’t listening or the coach is not instructing. That’s anyones guess if it’s one of those two reason.
If players aren’t capable of playin 4 quarters of a contest, that’s another issue altogether.
I’m stumped.
