Really interested in what Innes thinks now.
Probably a bit early but would love to hear from him soon on what he thinks going forward regarding our overall fitness, strength, conditioning and injury status (if any).
What he has planned etc.
Just would be nice to hear from him. Can't find a welcome to Carlton vid anywhere if there is 1.
Sorry if I scared anyone

Either that or when he arrived at the club, they threw him in a room and said "Here, fix this! Our injury and fitness issues".
Haven't seen him since. [emoji23]

Ecstatic that we gave this guy the best opportunity to succeed, by moving on the majority of our injury prone players
Only makes sense. Speed is a major issue so why not focus on that and train for it. I wonder how it will affect the soft tissue injuries. We had a lot, a hell of a lot. Sprint training may help prevent this?

I don't think making himself some sort of hero / fitness guru serverd Russell well in the end. Keep Innes away from the cameras please.
Agree with you, but should have been executed much earlier a diligent list clean out was my choice for quite some time, but any suggestion quickly shut down every time.
Reckon Club was negligent and dragged its feet .
A difficult and sensitive issue but critical was not managed well and is unfinished.
Still plenty to be done.
Club finally moved on the injury prone and gave Inness a chance to succeed

I think there's a couple questions over the performance. High performance encapsulates all areas, and we've certainly not seen significant improvement in kicking skills.
The absence of Hollands and McKay could be viewed as a positive because it's an acknowledgment of the need to prioritise mental resilience.
Injury list wise we have a lot of small niggles, but if you take out the ACLs and tests, were only missing Pittonet & Fantasia for calves, Cincotta for a hip and Duffy with a knee. This is comparable with other teams.

Our second half performances in defending and running out games hasn’t been good either.
Collectively in the second half of the 3 games this year, we’ve kicked 8 goals to 24 goals.
Lloyd should be most under scrutiny. There should be so much on him he can't move from the weight. How he is still there is beyond ridiculous considering how poor we've been and his position as he's of football.
Then Voss and the group of duds working around him (not power).
Then Austin.
The guy that's been there 6 months gets a little time.

I don't know that it's a fitness thing - we are top 4 for inside 50s, but dead last for disposal efficiency, goals per inside 50, Shots per inside 50. It's a skill and tactic issue IMO
The storyline to me is clear - we are ok at winning the ball in the contest, and ok (albeit clumsy) in moving the ball forward, but that last kick into the 50 has been dump kicks or a kick to a heavily contested pack mark.
This strategy is bad for our team because we seem to be missing two things:
- electric small forwards to clean up when the pack spills the ball out
- good midfield shots for goal.
The lack of goals from non key forwards and midfielders is impacting the whole game not just the second half.
It doesn’t explain why we’ve been up at half time in each game and capitulating in the second halves.

It's a selection issue. We can't stack the midfield with slow or hampered players, with slow or hampered small forwards, and slow or hampered defenders, and expect to pressure up and down the ground.
Fitness staff can only do so much, but focusing on skills more would help alongside this modified effort.
I would love to know if fitness has any part to play here. Outwardly it appears so but is our game style too much for the players, are they making it hard on themselves with their skills and/or decision making letting them down. Do they go into safe mode after half time and how much is between the ears.
Someone mentioned we only used 63 of the 75 rotations available on Thursday night. On the face of it that is pretty ordinary player management, is anyone getting reamed for that?
I feel there are so many unknowns at this point and primarily because Voss comes up with a one word answer, composure. I'm assuming he doesn't think it's fitness and more around execution and decision making but that stuff seems ok in the first half of games. Fatigue can affect those those things so ....
When you lose three games in a row the same way is it really just composure, I mean how and why does the team lose composure every second half?
Selections, skills, fitness, decisions, attitude/behaviour, maybe it's all of these but if so I can't see a quick fix.
I would love to hear an honest assessment from say Cripps or Weiters, would they say "we're just shagged by half time and can't run the game out".
