Carlton big man Marc Pittonet says any pressure on coach Michael Voss should be redirected toward the players if they fail to deliver on a proven strategy.<\/p>\n
The Blues take on Melbourne this Sunday, almost three weeks since they narrowly defeated Richmond in Round 1.<\/p>\n
Pittonet, one of Carlton\u2019s best in its first two starts, says he has \u201ccomplete faith and complete trust\u201d in Voss and his method.<\/p>\n
\u201cI personally don\u2019t read media, so I avoid all of that,\u201d Pittonet said of Voss, who is out of contract at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up going to Brisbane games, I went to the \u201902 grand final so to me Vossy is a superstar.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t consider any of that, I look at him with a bit of light behind him when he talks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got complete faith and complete trust in him. The game plan he has put in place works; it\u2019s just up to us to execute from here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Blues escaped a repeat of last season\u2019s horror Round 1 loss to Richmond, despite only kicking one goal after the main break.<\/p>\n
Pittonet says Carlton can at times be its own enemy for trying too hard in pivotal moments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe definitely can do it better, we\u2019ve got to take our moments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere could have been moments we could\u2019ve taken better that might\u2019ve shifted the flow of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t take those and they\u2019re just great opportunities for us\u2026 it\u2019s mainly down to those very clear parts of those games that we recognise.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to spend time and go, \u2018OK, when the pressure comes, as much as we all want to try and take those moments and step in, there\u2019s time stepping into it can actually be the worst thing\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s actually going, \u2018What\u2019s my role? What\u2019s the scenario of the game and how does my role actually help us what we need to do?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bit counterintuitive when you think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
