4 goals from dropped marks
We gave Carlton 4 goals from dropped marks - skill errors.
Gilbert 2 before half time, Gardiner and Geary in the 2nd half.
Cannot afford to do this against Geelong. Take those marks and Carlton lose by 5 goals.

Baker diving on the ball and squashed on top of it after a fumble - free kick - goal.
Ball indiscretion - goal.
Both after we had kicked the opening 4 goals of the 3rd quarter to stabilise after Carlton's 2nd quarter run.
The quarter finished 4 goals to 2 - and we absolutely gifted the 2.
So 13 points up instead of 25 points up - and Carlton having kicked the last 2 of the quarter.
We certainly gave Carlton the opportunities.
But, as I have said on another thread on Maguire, Carlton had the spillage pressure opportunists our defence of Max, Dawson, S. Fisher, Blake, Gilbert and Baker could not counteract and that made Carlton feeding off dropped marks more damaging on the scoreboard.
We were relying on the ball being held overhead and not hitting the ground.
Because at ground level we were exposed.
The structure needs to be addressed, an no doubt it will be because S. Fisher and Dawson were FORCED forward by structure issues.

We were too top heavy down back, considering they only had Fev and O'Hailpin tall forward. This was the opportunity to see how Gilbert or S Fisher would go across half forward, but they didn't take it. They played S Fisher on the wing, which seemed silly to me and he did very little there. He could give us a great marking option across half forward, which we badly need, especially against Geelong. Teams with very fast and nimble little guys (ie Essendon and Carlton) are giving us grief at the moment.
YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR.

I commented before the game tht our defense look at little slow & top heavy, with players maxy, blake & dawson, etc. in the back...To the top wrote:Baker diving on the ball and squashed on top of it after a fumble - free kick - goal.

Maybe dempster could add a bit more leg speed if he gets back to good form later in the yr.
