Three things you've learned Round two 2022 v Carlton

Re: Three things you've learned Round two 2022 v Carlton

Agree 100% Bornadog. Keath is not a full back, even though he has no choice to play there. Gardner and Cordy are VFL standard and have been for the last 2 years. It’s says a lot when I’m screaming for O’Brien to get into the team, when he himself is no world beater, but at least he can take a defensive mark.

What we’d do to have Marshall and Howard from st.kilda in our team.

He was awesome in that role for much of last year and whilst he wasn't earning the accolades of others he was preforming as well as any KD in the comp and was rarely beaten.

He looks a shell of that player at present... hopefully O'Brien returning shortly will help out, because we desperately need some help.

Keath’s second half was much better, but it sort of came at a cost of defending McKay from the front and giving up the more dangerous space. Impressive defending, but at the same time maybe a concession that he didn’t have the speed to go with him.

I don’t know what to make of him right now but he’s been good as hell for 4 years. Hopefully he gets back to it with some extra run in the legs because the other options don’t exist.

i think Keath is better at CHB rather than playing so deep.

1. Bevo said we want to win every game even practice matches. Including the GF we have now lost 5 games in a row. Troublesome trend.

2. The misses by Naughty, Marra and Hannan close to goal were the costly misses to me compared to the misses on 50 metre line in the last.

3. I don't blame our backs as much as our on ballers letting Carlton onballers scoot away under no pressure kicking to their forwards.

Those 3 trends are concerning and why I feel we are more of a 6-10 side than a top 4 contender.

When you take into account the 3 games before finals, we are 3-8.

Missing gettable goals has been a trend under Bevo's reign (and even before it) and our mids have been slow/unaccountable for too long.
