Apart from the last time Carlton played at Whitten Oval with the only goal kicked with 5 mins to go or something.

There must be a competition going on today in the AFL to see who can thrash their opponent the most on the scoreboard.

Losing Docherty and Marchbank mostly. Jones style of play only worked well last year when he had a better defence around him, and Weitering's confidence is completely shot so he's not helping.

OK so I can understand leaking a tonne of goals but what about the inability to score?

Really the forward line is probably better this year than last year, but the midfield is worse which nullifies that as delivery inside 50 has been awful. Kennedy has potential but is not even close to Gibbs right now (though I'm confident he will get better), and we've already missed players for a few games (Kennedy, Kreuzer, and Murphy tonight). Also there are a lot of of first and second year players in the middle trying to pick up the slack but making mistakes.

Overall their performance is not that surprising considering the experience in the team right now but there is definitely a disappointing lack of effort at times.

Sam Docherty Knee Season
Jarrod Pickett Wrist 10 weeks
Ciaran Byrne Quad 3-4 weeks
Tom Williamson Back 3-4 weeks
Darcy Lang Ankle Test
Cillian McDaid Foot 4-5 weeks
Caleb Marchbank Ankle 4 weeks
Matthew Lobbe Hamstring 4 weeks
Alex Silvagni Hamstring 2-3 weeks

6 of those could easily step into the best 22. Add to that Sam Rowe who only returned to VFL the other week.

Plus Kreuzer carrying an injury since the last quarter of round 1 but we don't have any backup rucks to replace him (hence our terrible round 2 when casboult was in the ruck)

Gibbs leaving didn't help too much either, glad we got that last year out of him if anything.

I'm more glad of the picks we got for him. Short term is still going to be painful though.

Oh sure the picks are great, but we needed him last year to help develop the young players and not have losses every week for a year.
