We're a below average club with a (just) above average coach

About 50 points worse off this year


How many points did Franklin kick?

Nice pick up if you've got the salary cap space for it.

Some on this site suggested Buddy was destoying the Sydney culture earlier this year


I still reckon had he been drug tested after his 'accident' this year he wouldn't be playing. #3strikes

Midfield smashed. Just not enough ball winners.

Aside from Murphy, Gibbs (who really tried) and Judd around the packs - there was no one else.

All the other players were either defensive, or just couldn't get first hands to it.

I thought Murphy and Gibbs played well.

Casboult and Henderson both had moments - from very limited chances.

Warnock, Ellard, McLean, Curnow, Thomas and Bell all hindrances. Plus others.
Good thing there is plenty in the reserves to take their spots.....FMD.

That was it.....that was our best team. With such a poor recruitment and development record - this is what we will have to put up with for the next 3 years.

Which is fine if the club admits it and rebuilds.

Exact expected result.

Thing about playing a top of the range team is that it really shows how many of your own players are actually competitive.

Gibbsy can hold his own with Swans opposition. Not many else tonight.

Quite a few are miles off it. Think Davy Ellard has played his last game for Carlton.

1st vs 13th.
To be expected.
If you're 13th you can't be expected to win. The boys busted their guts for three quarters.
It happens most weeks. It's why we're 13th and not 8th. Lapses here and there where the good teams just keep their foot on your throats.

A win would have been nice for the soul but would have done nothing for the draft. We have to nail a super midfielder with the first pick and hope the large number of talls will land us a decent one with our second pick.

Of course if we had an extra million to play with, like three other clubs, we could just go and buy someone like Franklin or Tippett. Or both.


We would overpay the dross we currently have even more. Maybe give "the champ Juddy" a little extra coin just for one more year.

I dont trust those imbeciles one bit with an million extra

With good recruiting over the last 5 years, we should have a million IN THE BANK for future years

Look at Hawthorn...reigning premiers and second favourite this year and the Buddy departure has given them a warchest

Not sure why people are keen to apportion blame to one person or part of the club over another.

We're universally shit.

Carry on...

Norm Smith won a lot of flags, Pagan won a couple, Sheedy won a lot

They all have use by dates. ;)

The club currently does not have the ability to think clearly about coaching appointments - the last time they planned carefully was with Wayne Brittain.

They never learn!

He isn't the ONLY problem; of course he isn't - Synbad has rightly outlined there are issues with recruiting/development/list management/the board - but the guy paid the big bucks after Ratten has kept on with the list management blunders.

The list management blunders were meant to stop but it seems MM just wants his mate to have a lifetime annuity.
