Chicken or the egg stuff that.

Your opposition observations are valid but the conversation around Levi isn't. We haven't kept him for his ruck work so the conversation is a bit pointless. But i have pointless conversations all the time so who am I to judge? We keep Levi for his ability to give us a target around the ground and in the F50 where we know he will either mark it or halve the contest at minimum and bring the ball to ground in consistent spots. He's no superstar but we'd be a significantly poorer team without him.

Oh we deserve it alright - that's why you feel so embarrassed.

So true.

Personally, I think we would be better without him. Get some run and overlap . Be bold and stop kicking to marking contests around the ground. Will take time to adjust but we are bashing our heads against a wall doing the same thing each season. Hard to watch.

We've had a pretty good season, & should be well & truly on our way in a couple of years with decent drafting.

Personally I don't think any side in the AFL should need 5 no.1 picks on its list in order to be good.

Very rare that the No1 pick turns out to be the best player drafted that year.

Are you dissing Anthony Bannick??

Never. Banno had his own thing going on.

Are you serious? Kerridge and Cunningham were given the roles to stop him.

I will guarantee Sam Kerridge will be dropped this week for not playing to coaches orders.

Bolt ripped Kerridge a new one at half time is what I was told and he didn't hold back.

Not nearly enough credit for Zorko and the lions who basically pantsed us in the first half. We'll learn from it.

Glad I wasn't able to watch the match then given the comments on Mathieson's game, I quite possibly would've needed a new TV.

Players whose first instinct is to try to draw a free are everything that's wrong with the AFL.

Consider Casboult gone at the end of the year. My opinion is Carlton is building up Casboult's trade value and will be traded to Richmond for a late 1st round pick. Or we don't match a rival clubs offer and get a compo pick. Either way, it will be good to see him go. He's a dumb footballer with no skills other than marking.

Entirely predictable performance, which is what pisses me off the most. The type of thing that makes you question if we'll ever get out of this hole.

Bolton's green shoots are turning into weeds.

When we had our run going and were within 11 pts, saw Doc screaming at Kerrige to pick up Rich, only for Kerrige to look at him dumbly as Rich was given the ball and bombed the goal from 55 that broke our momentum. Every man and his dog could see that Rich was lurking around and was going to be given the ball.... everyone except SK.



Agreed.. For all his good contested marking, he does too many dumb things too often. Makes sense to play him, and make noise about wanting to keep him if we want to get something decent for him.



Its not the kids who are letting us down.
It's the experienced guys you'd expect better from.

It's not easy losing to a similarly lowly side, but I had to keep telling myself to be patient. I look at McKay and think how good he will be in three years time, which will also mean Curnow, Silvagni, Petrevski-Seton, Weitering, Marchbank, Cuningham, Williamson and Fisher will also be advanced by three years. Add in Cripps and Byrne and hopefully Polson and a couple from this year's draft and maybe Kelly and/or Hopper, plus Docherty - I think we have an okay base that needs a few more years exposure and still quite a few holes to plug.

Silvagni was wasted in defence.

Aware of that.
