Game Day RND 17 - 🏈 Carlton v Collingwood Game Day 🏈

[katmanblue]

I’ve been ripping on Weitering since round 1. But I was pulled apart on here. He is one of the most conditional players on our list.

It's why I don't want him to be next captain.

 

[NavySteel]

Senior guys have no trust in each other

Starts from the top.

JSOS for captain next season is my pick.

 

[Blue since 72]

Seen enough. Once again game lost at the selection table.

Just don’t think it would make much difference Damo.

If we could put our best 22 on the park for every game of the season we might get into the 8.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Weitering should be the first player traded out.

I don't get the Weitering hatred. He's a long way from our worst.

And we literally have zero other tall defenders - especially with Jack out.

 

[Soapy V]

Weitering talks the talk in the media and then does SFA about it.
Seriously over him

His last month or so have been very poor

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Becoming aware of the gap is part of the learning curve

He’ll take a lot more out of it compared to suffering a bit of confidence

I get the learning bit.

Much better managed if we’d kept Young in as a bigger body - then you’ve got the choice to flip Gov/Young.

 

[TENACIOUS]

club, coach and senior players have been under extreme pressure over the past 2-3 weeks.

The message is they are working and having tough conversations. But it’s the same shit again (1 quarter wonders)

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Great to see Evans blistering VFL form has translated to the AFL.

 

[Juddrockz]

Honestly, the only genuine mid we have anymore is Hewett, Crippa is a shell of himself and Cez is a conditional mid.

Cripps had a massive fall on his back at Marvel awhile ago,has been down on form since.

 

[HaydossJ]

If you don’t think it’s system and game style come and sit next to me

It’s as obvious as the nose on your face. We are playing to instruction and getting beaten. Effort is good

Game style makes good players look foolish and after 3 years they look frustrated and beaten

Pies are putting on a clinic in modern football and are going at around 60%

I don’t know how anyone can watch that first half and not see how our disposal is what let’s us down over and over again..

When we hit targets our offence is fine.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Senior guys have no trust in each other

That too, but they constantly burn the young guys. The young defenders are also cannon fodder as the older defenders waltz up field, leaving them exposed.

 

[NavySteel]

I’ve been ripping on Weitering since round 1. But I was pulled apart on here. He is one of the most conditional players on our list.

Is a confidence player, if you can call that a condition. But you can’t have a captain that’s hot and cold on confidence.

 

[Blue since 72]

Senior guys have no trust in each other

And that’s because they can’t execute the basic skills of football.

100%

 

[Soapy V]

Which is why I was against them playing. Toxic

 

[Opium]

Great to see Evans blistering VFL form has translated to the AFL.

In fairness, it's difficult to play well in this team with this setup.

 

[chickendippas]

Another problem for the young players is that the senior clique look for each other and have no trust in the young guys. They have to go searching for the pill.

Leadership has been an issue for a long time

 

[katmanblue]

Cripps looked Buggered to me. Not running with freedom he did last year or early this year. Really struggling

Hard to run with an 80kg backpack. They're all over him constantly

 

[Soapy V]

And that’s because they can’t execute the basic skills of football.

Disagree. It’s because they have given up on what they have been told to do. Wasn’t an issue 12 months ago

 

[NavySteel]

Sometimes the answer is they just don’t work and it’s time to find a new idea (coach, leadership team, and game style)

 

[Rustica]

Great to see Evans blistering VFL form has translated to the AFL.

Just another nick graham

 

[agro]

Acres disposal so bad - he actually doesn’t try to hit a target just kicks it in the general direction and even then misses.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Arthur Daley could put together a better list than what we have.

We seem to have missed the memo that you need elite kicks to compete these days. The bash and crash Voss style will only get you so far. Even the guys we bring in who are supposedly elite kicks turn out to be so-so.

 

[__Bobcat__]

Cripps really struggling in the middle. Pendlebury kills him every time.

just stand on his left side. Duh.

 

[BlueTongue]

Aaaaaand that’s on the coach.

Totally outsmarted

Spot on observation too.
