I was at the game and noticed it - not sure what it was however.

Pros:
Harlett and Waite

Cons:

- There are too many nerds in our team, they are too soft, some of them gets pushed off way too easily.
- Too many players gave up, they've learned something from Campo - pretending to chase hard and falls so they don't have to chase anymore.
- Fevola, he still needs to grow up after so many years. When things goes wrong he is a big sook.
- Scotland, he is not a defender. i know we are desperate for defenders but he is just hopeless in the backline.
- Houlihan, This family of Houlihans are not AFL material, none of them made it to become an elite player and their last hope Ryan will certainly not.

I promised that I woudnt watch the game at the pub but I ended up going .Left just before halftime.

Pagan has to go simple

players I have suggested have to be dropped. There should have been massive changes after last week. Blackwell was the only one dropped.

PROS

The MC must make wholesale changes
Ackland,Saddindton,Houlihan, Bannister cant get another game. The bottom line is the club cant progress with these guys in the side.

We may have seen the last of Denis


CONS
Too many to mention but one is how lazy we are when the opposition have the ball. We are pathetic . We must take a punt on pace and play Grigg and Anderson Even Benjamin.

Pro: I cracked the shits halfway through the third and went and played pokies at the club. Won $4K on a link. Didn't have to see the rest of the game.
Harts.

Cons.
The rest.

Thats good I thought it might have been a Hammy. I thought he showed a bit today, followed up from the ants game last week in good style

Re: Gibbs - The commentators said it would be a good learning curve for him. He has also said he loves the challenges.



Mrz Caz,

Do you agree that Gibbsy should be playing on the last line of defence against the most elusive players in the league week in and week out???
I really feel for the kid as well as Marc Murphy

Pros:
Hartlett(which means he will get dropped next week of course)
Gibbs(too good to be kept out of the play and playing a defensive role you imbecile Pagan)
Carrazo - I often wonder how many touches this guy would get if we had a ruckman

Cons:
Unbelievably undisciplined and lazy. Who is to blame?? For me it has to be the coach and his staff. They are unable to get the best out of our players. If Dick Pratt and Gregg Swann are serious men Pagan and his coaching staff must go...now before next week.

Players who refuse to do the hard yards and 1%'s. These players need to be dropped. And if they do not do these things in the two's they should be delisted or traded. No exceptions. No favorites. The club should only be about players who are willing to bleed for it, otherwise OUT. Ackland is the worst excuse for a footballer I have ever laid my eyes on.

Fevola's worst game for the CFC. I was embaressed by his performance today. He should be ashamed of himself. He is undisciplined, a sook, & always looks for frees. Betts is the same. Disgraceful. Why do we persist with players of the caliber of Houlihan is beyond me. He offers nothing to the team. And he has many mates out there as well.

We are carrying too many passengers. We can no longer afford this to go on any more. And the guy driving these passengers is Pagan. Major changes must be made and very quickly. The second half of the season is gonna be ugly.

Feeling ashamed to be supporting a group of players and Coaches who refuse to perform at an acceptable level for their club. Who refuse to earn the big dollars they are on. Who have no pride whatsoever in the jumper they wear. They do not deserve the support that Carlton supporters have given them this year.

There are so many other cons...too many to mention.


That is it! This post says it all.u Too many passengers -
Scotland is pathetic - refuses to man up, looks for the cheap kick, woeful disposal and slow! Show pony!

Saddo - too slow!
Bentick - gets the tackles because he can't get to the ball first - too slow and cannot hurt the opposition.
Fev - trade bait!
Ackland - wanting to forget he ever pulled on the mighty jumper.


Another con - I am so dispirited, but I will be going next week.

#1: Can't wait to see him do his stuff in the midfield.

#2: I aint a coach.

#3: I've never played the game...

So when ex-footballers make comments that it is good for him to be there, and the kid himself says he doesn't mind it, I listen.

Pros:
Simpson
Waite in the 2nd Half
Carazzo & Bentick tried hard
Walker will return to the side to give much needed run
Hartlett kicked a goal and took a couple of nice grabs
Setanta did some good things

Cons:
Too numerous to mention. We need to start considering Fev for trade bait - on his day he is fantastic but too often he doesn't contribute.

PROS:

Surely Pagan will be sacked before the Dees game :-D

Surely Ackland will NEVER play another senior game ?

Hartlett

CONS:

Waite's first half. Oh dear.

Fev's last month. Hopefully a new coach will sort him out, or its trade time.

Saddo. Simply too slow.

Our backline. Worst in AFL history ?

Gibbs on Wizz. Flower me, I felt sick in the guts. What a waste of young talent...a kid with such lovely disposal to deliver to our fwd line, being exposed deep in defence on a classy experienced player like Wizz. Flower off Dennis.

That away strip. We are (were) the Old Dark Navy Blues.

QFT.

Pros

Can't blame this one on Lance.
I think the end is near for DP

Cons
Plenty

Location: looking for a good bloke to have a beer with
was at the game today it was just disgusting and topped off by some flowerwit bogan asking me how i could still bear to wear the jumper, it was probably a good thing my son was with me.

PROS:

Gibbs - great mark in the third qtr and some magic in the first - i'm with the play him in the middle mob.

Hartlett - tried and took some grabs

Still a good CFC turnout behind the goals at the city end and 450 at the function.

not much else, Waite's last "junk time" qtr.

CONS:

Fev - i've lost any respect i had for him, hands on hips walking thru the centre of the ground while his opponent runs off to double team someone.

the inability or (more likely) unwillingness to work hard off the ball and either create space or run with your man.

Scotland, houla just picking up easy uncontested ball although Houla did put his body over the ball once in the last 1/4 (I was amazed).

Worst game I have seen from Lappin - cost us goals at the start of the second when we could have got going.

I have to go to work and cop it again on Monday.

Pros:

Marc Murphys first quarter
Hartlett showed some great signs attacking the ball hard. Is a forward no doubt
Gibbs mark going with the flight of the ball.
Hopefully it was denis last game coaching carlton (take libba with ya)
Carazzo was outstanding in the first half

Cons:
No leadership except for Murphy.
Our so called leaders kept making basic disposal errors whereas Pav was slamming goals through at the other end with ease.
Heath Scotland was deplorable and always looking to get the easy ball. I will be spewing my guys out if he captains the club in the next few weeks.
Fevola was really really bad. looked like a bloke who doesnt want to be at carlton.
We don't play as a team. We are a team of individuals who don't put their bodies on the line when its their time to.
Lappin career is over.

Pros
Hartlett showed he can play at senior level, needs some more game time.
Carazzo and Simpson battled on...nice work from Simposn on the wing where he dived on the footy to stop Freo getting the footy and then went again to force a throw in....thats what every players needs to be doing.
Waite with 5 goals all be it in junk time showed some fight after a poor first half.

Cons....plenty but its the same old cosn that have haunted us for years now....
Warnock showed that a kid who is given responsibility will always give you a good contest...hope our MC take note...

Could list heaps of cons, but will stick to just this: Our handballing is just terrible, if we can't hit our teamates on the full with simple handballs then we may as well give up. The amount of times when the game was still in the balance that we handballed to guys under pressure who were forced to try and gather on the bounce was incredible.

The other thing con is that we have so many members but will have so few people watching us (& who can blame them) from now on. A once proud club getting spanked every few weeks (on average) - Dennis thanks for the memories, oh, sorry, thanks for trying? Please leave
