So far this year we have kicked 63.73. Opposition has kicked 70.68. Of the points, 20 have been rushed behinds for Carlton, and 18 for the opposition.
Of our scoring:
Charlie has 21.11
Harry has 9.8
Durdin has 6.5 (from 5 games)
Motlop has 6.1
Owies has 6.1 (from 3 games)
Jack has 5.5
Fisher has 2.1
TDK has 1.2 (from 5 games)
Ed has 1.2
Honey has 1.1 (from 3 games)
Cripps has 0.7
Six rounds in last year, we had kicked 72.63. Opposition had kicked 75.69. Of the points, 10 had been rushed behinds for Carlton, and 16 for the opposition.
So, by comparison, opposition scoring has decreased slightly, but our accuracy has been poorer this year, and the fact we have twice as many rushed behinds suggests we are not having as many cleaner scoring shots that last year.
We are definitely scrappy forward of centre and it ain't pretty viewing.

Nah I think it was working until it didn’t but what would I know
These kicking yips and poor options entering 50 just persist. Connections to and from the forwards don’t look neat enough

Indeed, hard to find, yet pies plucked young Bobby Hill out of G.W.S. after really not showing that much. Yes he did have some injuries and issues to deal with. Now he is absolutely flying, playing great footy for them.

You are a braver man than me Sham, could not bring myself to watch that shizen again.
It's not even so much the missing of set shots...it's how it affects the rest of the side and what happens next. We're clearly a pretty mentally weak side and you can see it when Harry or SOS or Charlie miss an easy set shot, disappointment and panic seems to set in. How often do we see the 11 point turnaround...we miss an easy shot and the opposition runs it easily the length of the ground to score a goal at theirs...often from more difficult shots. It's so demoralising.
I understand that some want to skew the board to being more positive and thats fine to a point.
This I say not as a fact per se but as my personal feeling.
Penning critical commentary about the team I love and have supported for 54 years brings me NO joy.
BUT: what the coaches are doing to destroy the confidence of young players through this diabolocal game plan simply must be called out. We have the talent, resources, facilities, finances - just about every possible advantage under he sun to thrive. We fail to develop high end talent coming in.
Away from forums like this ask the average non-Carlton person what they think of our club and they all but laugh at us. There is no respect.
We need to be focused, determined, strategic, innovative, daring and ruthless. We are not.
The WORST part, you want to know who is: I absolutely hate admitting it: Collingwood.

Our ball movement is horrific. Our forward 50 entries are a laughing stock compared to pretty much any other team.

No disrespect, but it’s our coaches job to make sure they don’t do s**t like that.
How long do the coaches play them without fixing those things, and if not fixable then why are they still playing??

This part is true, especially if you talk up our team just a little bit.
Not having a go but, why do you watch it then and comment, if its all so bad?
Fair question I reckon. Not only to you of course.
It never ceases to amaze me that we are all clever in hindsight. Big Footy posters, journalists etc. And hindsight is a week to week proposition, just like the cliche.
It’s worthy of a philosophical debate.
It’s worthy of a philosophical debate.
Carlton are not playing good footy and seriously doubt we'll even make the Top 8 ... and even if we get lucky ... we'll only be making up the numbers. There has been no improvement over last season in the first 6 games. I reckon we were a bit better last year when we missed out. Carlton will finish 10th, 11th or 12th. Get your head around that.... and then shed a few tears, like me.
U don’t get it, it’s us kicking straighter!
U don’t apply it to the opposition as well - we don’t win that way
Seriously..................

You’re welcome to ask.
The same reason you watch it mate. Can’t abandon them after 35 years because we have been s**t for 20.
Would be nice to roll up tomorrow and truly be a Collingwood supporter but as you know it doesn’t work like that
They smashed the Saints midfield?
No, they got more of the ball & proceeded to do heckall with it. It’s not a contest to see who gets the ball the most.
Ross planned for it & was set up beautifully to repel & counter attack.
We won the most ball & it actually helped them as it was so painfully slow it gave them extra time to set up

hard to do - but you have managed to agree with everything I have said whilst disagreeing...
I do try, don’t disagree that the forward line has major issues, the forward line will be continue to be ****ed while the game style is painfully slow.
I fail to see how Voss has any clue about his players when the “plan” is to slowly build to forwards who are questionable under pressure taking set shots.
