To all, it's with such sadness that this club we all love is in a state of utter confusion. From the board to the football that is being played. It's not only ugly, it's depressing.
For a club that is trying to be inclusive and all that other stuff with it's jumper promotions such as the Carlton respects as an example, it has forgotten what it was meant to do this year. Win. Evolve. Prosper. Shine.
We could all make excuses for the heartache of last year and the significant injury list that hampered us. Whilst, there has been some this year, it's not going to cut it so far.
The board has made changes to protect itself and reviews showed they believe they were on the right path. It's wrong apparently so far.
On the field, structurally it's failing. The breakneck brutality of our first half football in the early stages of last year couldn't be sustained, which is somewhat understandable. However, the gear change to this slow, over methodical style has hampered the talent on the list. It's confused which gear to utilise and when to shift.
The support crew around our head coach needs to change. A skills coach is desperately needed. A proper analysis of decision making on the field needs a thorough review. The consistent long kicks in the first half to Motlop, Owies and Durdin who are there for crumbing off packs is mind boggling. The players are confused or brain dead. I prefer confused.
First I would do is bring De Koning for structure. I could be wrong.
The reason why people are being so hard on us, (media and so forth) isn't because we're Carlton, (maybe it is), but because we're meant to be better than this. Personally, I would prefer the club said nothing, promoted no other causes and goes with the mantra as from Any Given Sunday "who gives a s**t as long as you're f#$%ing winning".
One thing I've noticed and I could be wrong. There isn't enough support from the players to focus on the little wins within a game, a knock on, a second and third effort for a spoil, smothering hasn't been there as often. The team has talent individually. Collectively, it's broken.
How do we fix it? It's confused and doesn't know where to find the answers. Something has to change. What changes would you make?
Fitness guru (Andrew Russell) and Football Manager Brad Lloyd goes for me if it doesn't change. Voss needs an assistant coach with previous head coaching experience to help. A skills coach clearly is needed.
Am I wrong? What would you do? Because, we're sick of this mediocre results.
