Yes, if they're no busted they'll be bruised. While McKay's learning I'd like Casboult in the side. Don't want him having to take the heat of the defence yet.

Looked very sore in the video shown. My guess is a couple of cracked/broken ribs.
Well for the first time in 101 games we won't be playing one short next week

Cheap shot at a guy who ran out the game with an injury that requires him to go to the hospital after. I'm not his biggest fan but seriously.


Syd is a cheap shot, negative, cliche laden specialist unfortunately.

Didn't think that was our worst performance for season -easily was GC game or North game
Good Second quarter

Positives
Fisher and Cripps are excellent
Thought Thomas was good
Dow is very promising
Curnow good
Another game for H and OBrien
Scored 70 points

Negatives

OShea and Rowe waxed a couple of times and resulted in Adelaide goals

I want to play Lobbe next week with Kreuz Phillips H Rowe and casboult so we can have the slowest most immobile side to ever play AFL please far too top heavy do something about it

Disposal really poor and disposal out of backline diabolical Rowe jones OShea mullet

Bloody umpires not one Carlton free kick in the last 45 minutes of the game

Bolton: We need to be stronger in the contests for longer.
Bolton: Adelaide kicked a lot of goals from our turnovers in defence.
Bolton: Ed Curnow plays with plenty of heart. He’s a real competitor.
Bolton: It’d be an issue if we were giving up the fight, but our players are trying hard.
Bolton: Our players are really frustrated when we don’t win, and so are the coaches.
Bolton: It’s easy to get clouded by the emotion of an loss, but when you look through it, you see positive signs from youngsters like Dow and Fisher.
Bolton: Our football club does not accept losing, no matter the circumstances.
Bolton: Our supporters need to know that we’ll heavily challenge our first and third quarters.
Bolton: I hurt after a loss. I’m human. I feel for our supporters but I cherish every day I get to work at the Carlton Football Club.
Bolton: I’ve got a duty to nurture our young players. I care about the character of my players.
Bolton: Weitering had a ridiculous amount of intercepts in the VFL today. I’m glad to hear that and I know he’s a special talent.

Pros:
Fairly feeble 1st quarter. The effort was pretty good after that.
Fisher was excellent. So classy.
Thomas, Wright and Ed were pretty good.
Simmo was fairly good, but butchered the ball tonight.
Liked Garlett's game. Showed more willingness to apply pressure than he sometimes does.
Phillips good in the ruck. Kreuzer's willingness to pressure the opposition.
Good 1st half from LOB and Harry.
Nice to see Dow get a goal.

Cons:

Butchered some fairly gettable goal scoring opportunities early in the 3rd quarter.
I still there's something wrong with our defensive structures. We conceded a lot of marks, and fairly unpressured goals.
I thought Casboult had a shocker. Fumbled the ball, every time he went near it.
And he wasn't the only one. Just too many costly fumbles or players falling over or terrible turnovers. And hence the margin.
Cripps seems to have his set shot kicking yips back again.

It's his first bad game for the year and you're cheering he could have a serious injury.

Goal kicking us Crippa’s kriptonite.
Simmo has been a warrior, but his constant errors are killing us. The way things stand right now, if I had to choose, I’d rather Dale Thomas play on next year rather than Simmo.

Wasn't home so haven't seen any of the game.
I saw on the AFL website the following heading for the match review.
"Depleted Crows crush Carlton."
Seriously? Depleted Crows?
Wow.

Given we had the extra ruckman, couldn't work out why he wasn't getting back to stop Adelaide's tall forwards from marking the ball. :screwy:

seriously... the MC is amateur hour. Phillips, rowe, kreuzer, harry and casboult in the same side is calamitous. what are they thinking?


it wasn't our worst game. considering the amount of big, slow talls we selected, we played about as well as possible.

The boy with the horse-sized ticker, Ed Curnow was our best against his old surfin' buddy, May Gibbs. Stoked he snared that late goal. Dow and O'Brien showed plenty as did Crippa who tackles like a man throwing bags of wheat around. Fish sizzles with the ball and Garlett was way better. Side showed what pressure can achieve in the 2nd and what happens when you take your foot off it in the 3rd. Simmo needs to lower his eyes and not overestimate his kicking ability. Onward

adelaide are a very good side, with a huge amount of depth with the right age group having the right amount of game experience ... they have a few injuries as well ... if they can get their heads right (a.k.a. get over the grand final loss of last year) they should be playing in a gf this year.

lets not underestimate just how good adeliade as i side is. they could easily go 2 gf's in a row. id suggest they played their worst game in two years against the tigers in the gf too, so we could very easily be talking about this side going back to back.

their first quarter was superb. just about the perfect quarter. one of the best exectued quarters of football i have seen for sometime.

i thought our second quarter was the best quarter of football we have played this year. we play like that for four quarters and we will win more games of footy than we lose.

its there. we have it, we just dont have the consistency from quarter to quarter let alone week in week out.

soem of the moves and players from dow/fisher/cripps where outstanding, mckay shows plenty in the forward line. Weitering is going to dominate the AFL, he jsut needs to believe. Hopefully he starts to build the confidence up (getting 17+ marks in the VFL should help)

its been an interesting process this year, but for the first time in a long time i feel like we have an actualy spine that we can build around.

weitering - marchbank - cripps - curnow - mckay thats 5 names that will play footy for 10 years! and now we have to build around that and we are.

i dont think its anywhere near as bad as the 0-7 sounds, but its going to be a tough year. Losing Docherty and Gibbs as hurt more than i thought it would.

Dont think it was our worse performance starting to see Dow lift and feel that he belongs

Agree kicking very poor from a few Simmo a couple of bad shanks

What is Aaron Mullett for if he can't kick 50m set shots? Didn't we get him in because of his excellent kicking, figuring it would make up for some other less than average qualities? Boyfriend had a couple of chances for real team lifters last night and flubbed his lines again.

Good summary. We have so many of our best 22 either out injured or returning though VFL...Pickett, Williamson, Docherty, Cunningham, Murphy would all give us much needed leg speed and skill. Shame Lebois apparently got injured yesterday too, as he could be the zippy forward we desperately need to add pressure to the opposition's defence.

Adelaide are a good side. We are slow and have poor skills. Levi dropped several simple marks. Simpson has been a warrior but it has always annoyed me that in 16 seasons he hasn't bothered to develop a right side. He is utterly predictable and turns it over. Kennedy is soooo slow. He is young but he won't get quicker and doesn't seem to have great lateral movement. Hard to see a player that slow without exceptional hands and evasive skills will add much. Our kickouts were dreadful. Can't play two big ruckmen. Cam O'Shea is an honest vfl standard player not sure why he was recruited. If we don't win next week can't see where will win. Could be our worst season ever.

I have said to my friends and many think I am being utterly pessimistic for saying so but based on current form, I cannot see who we will beat this year. Even Brisbane who are winless have been competitive in many of their games, the same with Essendon* and St. Kilda. There needs to be a massive improvement in our form for us to beat anyone and I just can't see any signs of that happening/

Think it is good coaching to be playing iron-hands Kerridge out in space for the switch play - gives him time to take possession and execute. Pretty much the only role he can play at this level while we have injuries.
