He is a limited player but one thing that I liked tonight was Bells breaking of the lines. He would almost time his run to strip possession of the ball while running almost full tilt
Seemed a planned move and it worked often
But his lack of awareness once he gets it and his resultant tendency to get caught is a major flaw


I thought Bell was awful tonight

His composure and decision making is not up to standard

Hopefully, he can rectify these problems because he does have a physical presence

He is a butcher


He is a poor user
But my point was he won possession a number of times and broke the lines in doing so

Hey I'm looking for some positives lol

I hope we make the finals and then win four games in a row.


Weak as vegans!

What a weak performance 17 points up at three quarter time
Again losing to Bummers in similar fashion to first game
Never can hold a lead
Inept kicking for goal has been plaguing us for seasons
Keep losing close games
Knew that one Joseph and Dugan were playing we were going to struggle just not good enough
Not enough will to win
Will be a complete embarrassment if we make the finals if the bummers get pinned
Need a huge clean out at the end of the year
Bloody use trade drafting period properly this year and for god sake do Something
Poor rats got shafted because of these mentally weak sods
Even worse could have and should have nailed a mortal enemy
Just seen bloody turd smiling smugly at his press conference

I'm devastated that our boys can't read the psychological pulse of the game. Essendon** are shaky, gone, on their knees. They fight but their resolve is fragile. Put them away when you have the chance and they will fold like a pack of cards. Look like you're panicking yourself and you give them a sniff and you instill in them some heart.

It would have been so easy to put them away tonight like every other team has done for the last 4 weeks.

We are the softest Carlton team I can ever remember, nowhere near the least talented, but the softest by far.

Who can remember a softer Carlton team?


Being soft is lacking talent, especially if you consider that 80% of the list shouldn't be playing together in the same side. We stuffed up and drafted 'versatile' mummy's boys and 'stock' midfielders with the scraps. That's not hard to see and not earth shattering talent.

had momentum in the 3rd qtr - Yarran jibs it and coughs the ball up - they goal and get momentum - we fold like a pack of cards

9.22 against a team down and out

you couldn't write a more pathetic script

A poor list created by Hughes Rodgers Swan Sticks and Ratten

A poor list badly developed by a lazy administration.

We must not and do not deserve to be in finals

But don't worry, Sticks and Swan says its all going ok....

9 f$#%'in 22 and 4 OOBOTF
3 of the 9 were almost impossible goals from the boundary
3-9 in the 1st and 4-8 in the 3rd FMD
I won't go into the set shots and by the end even Yarran gave up
Could have ..... Should have ..... Useless

3rd quarter killed us.
4 goals 8 to 2 goals straight.
Should have been relaxed at 3/4 time and ready to sit back and enjoy the last quarter.
i am so sick of it.

Bad luck

Bettsy and Yazza should have ised the game.....or won the game,,,,again....this year

I'm pissed off with both of them and couldnt give a shit if we trade them for better players for Carlton Footy Club.
IMO they ...well at least Yarran doesnt belong.

Did someone say Yarran was an elite kick of player?
If the latter must have been talking about him iin the slower version of the game: WAFL perhaps/

Tonight reakkt upset with their huge egos...not worth their status in the game.

One more week of H&A and AFL adjudication with regards tot ehc cheats

Have to win against PA hopefully with Walker Kreuzer and Garlett back in

Tonight 10 morw shots but weak as piss when we needed them...Betts Yazz Duigan....and Grahsm didnt set the world on fffire either...along with Waite...he was plain want he? Shit affort if he was...embarassing IYAM

Wasn't surprised but I felt I have entered some footballing hell.

Actually I entered there in 2002, times when I think I've escaped have proved to be illusions.

Somehow we could not kick the goals, Essendon** hung in and won. They were not the better team but made shots count.

We have too many players that choke under pressure.


McInnes - WTF was he thinking - pissweak effort not to mark then knocked simmo over. go

Totally discredited competition and my team serves up crap. Seriously wondering why I pay that evil so and so Murdoch for this. Might just go radio only for a while until we get some better players. Maybe the club should offer a radio only membership next year while Mick rebuilds this sorry list.

Mentally tough & hard mids that can use the ball.

Selwood, Dangerfield, OMeara, Jack, Hodge, Hanneberry etc. These types.

Not speculative types or recycled players.

Our midfield needs to be built around McLean, Graham, Gibbs, Murphy & Menzel. Depth of quality will make Gibbs & Murphy better.


This is where I disagree, what is 'speculative'? Plenty of our players were picked as 'pure' footballers but didn't come on. We need to get more creative, not less, but we need to learn how to judge when it's right to pounce and when it's not.

Loosing at least will make it easier to do the changes needed - not just the list. I am disappointed but really dont care. Bummers wont play finals and we would/will just be slaughtered. Better fail now and make some hard choices.
