Team work IS execution, Putting body on line I gues is captured by winning contested ball and tackles ...

No I have been as critical of McGovern and Docherty as anyone else ( including you) and am sure if there were realistic alternatives available they would have been used...although perhaps McGovern has got the message judging by his improved efforts last week...as for Williams again no argument- but these individual 'performances' are nto evidence of the 'team' not buying in - surely?

Again - execution issues and decision issues - surely?

Execution and poor decision making - unfortunately from senior players as well- that isnt lack of buy in through is it?

Individual brain farts- nothing to do with team buy in - we didnt see this again....

Agreed and one of my biggest complaints - I put that down to a combination of poor transitional coaching and dumb players - this stagnant movement has bothered me for a long time and speaks to a lack of cohesion and drilled movement pattterns - almostas if Carlton has 3 different teams on the field- too kmuch makey-uppy going on - tat is a fair criticism of coaching and players.

Every team suffers this at one stage or another turnovers cost plenty - and that is Carltons achilles heel because poor execution happens too often - my #1 bugbear.

 

I agree that not all the team members are playing to an equal level of ability - that doesnt mean that they are mostly playing too ability - I think that is where I disagree with some POV regarding list status.

it seems to me that you (quite rightly) are not happy with certain player's performances - I dont disagree with your observations - but this speaks to my POV - which is that Carlton's list isnt as good as many would like to think. A coach can only reward or punish poor behaviour and punishment usually means dropping the player- all good - unless there are no other viable options.....which is where we are - hence my POV
