Being at the ground last night,and listening to one of the players say that our game plan has been all over the shop in the last two years;but has improved vastly over the pre season,and it is great to actually see it work............
As we know it didn't last night.Some critical observation:
The carlton players,including the debutees,all seemed to work to a game plan that looked so easy it could have been circle work.
They intimidated our players right from the start.Sledged them staight away for their silly mistakes,treated them with ruthless contempt.Our players chose meek forms of retaliation,probably for the fear of being penalised,but perhaps the AFL should introduce the "He's using hurtful talk,or being a bully rule"because that is how feeble they played.
I made a comment in a previous post about our use of handball versus kicking.If this is our gameplan to have near or more handballs than kicks,then it is not working. carlton had 65 more kicks than handballs,resulting in twice as many inside fifties.Gameplan?????????????????? ???
