Hmm ... 44 points down at half time.

Just something about that makes me think all hope is not lost.

(Note that I don't have access to watch the game ... if it's as bad as I'm reading then :sad: )


No Ted Hopkins, Barassi, or Jezza this time.

We should have played Murphy.

His inside and outside work is missed


Oh yeah...that was 2011

But will they have the balls to make the tough calls. Starting with Murphy and Betts.

Alright, I will try and eat some lunch; but I have a feeling I'm likely to just throw it back up when the 3rd quarter starts...

Interesting 2nd half coming up... Walsh, Setters, SPS and TDK busting a gut. Thats a good sign.
Gov one kick - ineffective.

Not much else to say, sadly.

Where is the midfield stepping up when Cripps is ineffective?


Hint: “There aren’t any”.

Setters = Arceri?

Club will let players decide just shows how weak we are gutless and that is why we play like this

It truly baffled me how confident our supporters were coming into this game.

Is anyone seriously surprised?

Maybe with Docherty gone Cripps balls will drop back down and we’ll see some of last years form again

So why do we give him a chance
Club is like some posters on the site
They live in the “Carlton bubble”


Keogh, give it a rest with the "I'm right, we're shit and the rest of you are morons" rubbish. You post heavily whenever we have a bad game/loss.

Yes, this is a poor effort. Yes, the club deserves criticism. Yes, there are some issues. Stop making it about you.
Can't help it.

The first thing I would do post season is sack Barker

I stated this in 2018

Cannot believe he is still there

Such an indictment on the club

This had the potential to be a decent season and it been ruined in a blink of an eye. Just like that. If you choke, as we did against the Pies and GWS, it's frustrating but a part of development, but to turn up and literally not have a crack in a really important game is another thing. This is just a return to the Malthouse/Bolton era when this shit just continued to happen.

Don't get me started on Murphy.
17 other clubs would NOT offer him a contract. He is a liability NOW God knows what next year looks like. Just another BOYS club decision, along with McGovern playing today .
Pathetic Teague


Right now Murphy, Simmo, Betts and Casboult should not get a contract for next year. No point having Senior players who lack leadership.

Still NINE Crows players with more touches than the next Carlton one.
