Those of you looking to the umpiring are not looking! Same old same old...on the bright side it's time for surgeries...and Carrazzo and Waite shouldn't really play for the club again. It's time to focus on 2015.


Agree doc - now I have calmed down a little - we did cop the "wrong end of the stick so the saying goes".... BUT did any of us really think we are anything but a 12 and below team anyway- 2015 clean out is/was always happening no?- surely we aren't that deluded as a club...... Or supporters- I just don't like losing I suppose

Anyone see the first half last week by chance - that's where we are at.

Look at our best players this year and they would be dominated by the new and imports and the improvers - Menzel, everitt, doc, Rowe , Yarran and Buckley ( although poor tonight) ...and Gibbs and Murphy ....

I have been a MM supporter but the same thing is happening that happened under Ratts.


Undeniable; no one can doubt this whatsoever.

Of all the things we were promised from the MM supporters; one of the points emphasised was that Carlton wouldn't have the flakiness they had under Ratten.

Clearly MM's appointment has done nothing to limit the flakiness.

Brisbane's first last qtr win for the year too! :lol:

Gotta love this club pissing up all that money going to Arizona each year - why don't they plough it into something useful - recruiting and assistant/development coaches?

The business case for the Arizona trip has clearly failed! A con job.

Watched the first 5 mins and turned it off as I knew we didn't turn up and I knew we would loose. Bottom 4 side without a doubt.

Even with Waites brain snap they would not have got within three goals if the umps had been 50/50.

That was a rogering up there with the best Patterson stadium efforts.


Agreed

Rarely do I complain about umpiring but tonight we got [REDACTED] so hard we are bleeding

Just wanted to make a point with the other thread
To those posters who told me to @#$%&! off save it for the soft players wearing the Carlton logo
If the club are smart they would release Gibbs for a top ten kid who cares and has some leadership and balls

Watch this stupid club keep him for 4 years

I had a bit of info that the boys got a bit ahead of themselves. Was told training was poor during the week.

Also, I think Mick lost the game at the selection table. Lost a bit of run without walker and armfield and brought in an underdone carrazoo and robbo.

I would have dropped ellard and casboult played Graham and Johnson.

Played johnson as sub.

Bartlett should have started

Elllard got a bit of it before getting injured and Casboult was pretty good.
I agree with slow for quick. Robbo went OK but carazzo was unsighted.

Garlett kicked three goals from 4 or 5 possessions in almost three quarters. They don't use his pace. he is an opportunist but they need him higher to open the defence up.
Oh! i forgot we don't do that, we kick around the boundary.


You're right about gartlett. He should be used around the ground more especially when miss are resting forward you can throw hi through the middle in 5 minute burst.

Not singling him out overall, but two weak efforts by Yaz in the crunch, should have easily clinched that mark. And weak shot on goal in the last 2 min. He has form choking at the death.

Like most of his mates is soft.

he took it. It would be paid 99% of the time. if the ball jars loose when you land it's always a mark. The fact Brown had hold of his leg went un-noticed as well.

The umpiring was shit but that happens when one team plays in front and wants the ball more. they get the frees. You make your own luck and had we been more desperate and actually had the skill to keep possession, we would have won gong away.

The fact is, we were shit tonight and players like Gibbs need to take the responsibility. Murphy had a good crack. Robbo too. yarran went well off HB. Rowe was beaten but went OK. White went OK early. hendo better, Menzell well held by their best backman but that should have freed up Waite who just must laugh on paydays.

Warnock? Same problem as before. Wins the knockouts but they go anywhere apart from a couple of really good ones out of fifty odd.

I could get on here and rant and rave. But let's face it, I know where we are at and most posters on here know where we are at.

Let's just hope the club knows where we are at and doesn't shirk from a rebuild.

Go back and read the match forum where I made several posts saying we will lose and why we will lose this game

As I said, it had a bit of info about the boys getting a head of themselves and training poorly during the week.
