Carlton may have the firepower to engineer a barrage of goals, but it’s when they don’t have the ball that has them in trouble heading into Friday night’s clash against their arch-rival.
Carlton’s fatal flaw has been laid bare as they prepare for a Friday-night blockbuster against arch-rival Collingwood.
Work to do: Jacob Weitering and the Blues have work to do to improve defensively against Collingwood on Friday night.Veteran Sam Docherty, now working on the bench on game day as he recovers from ACL surgery, said on Monday the Blues had to tighten up defensively.“Ultimately, our defence probably hasn’t been good enough for a few weeks now.
“Geelong are running the ball out, and GWS run the ball out, and Collingwood, which is why they will be in the mix for a long time, is because of the way they set up the ground. They set up the ground to protect their defence, and they are one of the best teams when they are going, at going from end to end and scoring from the back half,” Buckley told SEN.
“I don’t like their defence compared to other team defences. Their midfield has to be on to protect this defence,” Lloyd told the AFL website. “We’ve got to be better, we’re going to expect better from each other. We conceded 118 points, it’s just too much,” Voss said on Saturday.
