A QUESTION. What single thing cost us more than any other last yr? I think most would agree turnovers. What are the primary causes of turnovers? Yep you got it, poor skills and poor decision making. and of course pressure. the first two tend to break down easily under pressure if there are flaws.good skills tend to hold up under pressure.
A QUESTION. What has become the the two most important areas of the ground? in these two areas you have to be clean precise quick and smart as well as tough. yep you guessed it, the hb line and running backs, aalso the midfield.
so with the above in mind. why would anyone pick 6 suspect players out of nine? 6 who lack good skills, are poor decision makers, and panic under pressure. whose skills have been found wanting under pressure.are generally lacking smarts and some are out and out one way footballers.
not to mention the backline picked is desperately short of height and size.
thats what this side contains

yep i can just see white edwards tuck raines mcguane mcmahon streaming forward to do nothing more than pick out a carlton player.and then watch the ball go back over their heads for a goal.
we all may like certain players but are we picking sides in an attempt to minimize team weakness or are we just letting the head rule.
i cant believe any thinking supporter would want to see so many butchers of the ball coming of our hb and centre lines and expect them to deliver to advantage yet alone with precision.
maybe its just that people dont look at player deficiency maybe they wear the jumper thats good enough. more than likely they just dont recognise the deficiency to start with.hence the incredulity when their favorite players are criticised.at the end of the day we are just supporters i have to ask whats the clubs excuse for ignoring such obvious deficiency.
