    Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 13, Vs Carlton

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, last three games odd pattern where we have conceded 7 behinds in each game. Can we improve our powers of distraction on the mark or what?! Need to stop the clean entries I assume be part of it.

    v Cats - 21.7
    v Norf - 18.7
    v WCE - 21.7

    ------

    Total - 60.21

    We could start by making sure Caleb Daniel isnt on the mark. I reckon he takes it 80% of the time, even when English is standing 10 metres away. So idiotic.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    He should never be on the mark, it really makes a difference in my opinion and experience if someone tall is on there. Be an interesting stat actually if you could ever find it. We need a designated person on the mark! Under 6 ft 3 you're out.

    Difficult to believe that less than 3 years after a premiership supporters are worried about playing the bottom team.

    I admit Caleb standing the mark isn't the greatest idea, but I know I would rather have Tim English somewhere around where the ball is going to land.

    That should be the banner on the weekend.

    It’s true. It sucks. And it’s real.

    Still think we needed one more tall. Lew Young would have been handy

    I know some people hate me to mention this, but I think it is interesting. We are fielding a younger team than Carlton in experience and and slightly younger in age.

    Not an an excuse, just fact.

    Are you highlighting our poor list management?

    Not at all. We had experienced players leave for one reason or another and tried to compensate by bringing in Lloyd, Duryea etc. Just goes to show we are still developing and shouldn't expect miracles.

    Yes this is good thinking

Put it on Jack that he is a better player than his output at the moment suggests and we shouldn't really be using him to tag the opposition gun but that's where we are at the moment.

    It is a pet hate of mine. It’s simple science.

    In most weeks we have the opportunity to select more experienced sides and often choose not to so it doesn't quite cover it in my opinion.
    Age and experience aside, it's about effort and that will get you over the line more times than not.

    From a list management perspective we are at times all too quick with jettisoning players for untried youngsters
