It's obvious teams just don't allow us to move the ball through the middle anymore, feels like Malthouse era again with how much we play the boundary. The problem is, we still got outnumbered when kicking long to a contest, Essendon seemed to cover the ground a lot better. Age & lack of speed is...
Midfield badly beaten. Probably need to make a few hard calls with some older guys in there, lack of acceleration from a few guys obvious with Essendon mids getting space easily.
Excuse for looking flat or not beating Richmond by 10 goals which I'm sure a lot of Carlton fans thought they would. But you are right, they did have a big block of training in the lead up to Round 0 which is called the pre-season.
Umpiring hasn't cost us anything, delusional to think its worth talking about given the 5-10 other issues we've got atm. Too many important structural players out;.
