If it’s hardened bodies we need why didn’t Kennedy get a go?

LOB gets so many opportunities but delivers didly squat.

Slots in and then slots out of the team. What’s the point? He’s not ready and may never be ready.

Kennedy has flaws but name me one player on our list that doesn’t.

I hope that he’s not being punished for his religious beliefs.

Give him a go. Let’s see how he performs.

We kept the margin lower than the last time we met, and they had more fit players left at the end of this game.

Pros:
My kids haven’t asked about the game and don't know the result so they may just last another week before jumping ship (they have lots of Richmond friends. Struggling to hold them off)

Cons:
From the 2 minute mark to the final siren.

Insipid performance. So soon after the North debacle. That’s damning.

Can’t be mitigated imho.

Crisis time, again.

On a personal level, can’t endure much more. Hurts too much. Asking my 14 year old to ‘stick fat’ after everything the club have put him through is bordering on child abuse. My head says to cut him free but the heart won’t let me. Carlton is our thing. Our connection. Our bond. And this @#$%&! club continues to torture us.

So depressed.


This is our last chance to rise up before we become Fitzroy IMHO. Crucial time now in our history. We must get it right. So far.........

At what point did the AFL intervene at Melbourne?

Seriously, they won’t like this at all. 3/31 since the start of last season, I ain’t saying it’s Bolton’s fault but it may well be that he gets the blame.

We need to spend our mid season pick 1 on a mutuel body that can take a hit, we’ve got a few coming

Sorry, last point.

Does Mumford get off because he’s a good bloke and someone wants a beer with him?

Late hit on a player who did not have the ball and took him out of the game. This from a player with priors.

Should be simple. I said, SHOULD.

A lot to like about Phil Davis.
Nice moment with Crippa.


I missed it. What was it?

I was at the game. Missed a lot you see on TV. I like Phil Davis. All class.

Surely a shitpig of a bloke like Mumford is exempt from the beer club.

Simple as that.

Took him out.

I knew what was coming after that.

If they’re not careful the AFL will have to give us a priority pick consisting of unlimited access to third division EDFL

:roll:

Ouch.
Didn't really see last week's game but today our young boys started to look beaten up and tired. Dow still bravely getting stuck in but today I was genuinely worried for his wellbeing. Looked very much boys against grownups again, especially in midfield.
Our tackle numbers are generally poor and inside 50 tackles especially: shocking in first half today.
Krooz got smashed today.
Setterfield very poor today.
Have been a fan of LOB and what he can bring but disappointing today.
When we did get the footy we were poor.
Despite looking shellshocked at least they stuck at it.
Hopefully lots of learning out of today cos I ain't got green shoots to offer.
Oh wait, maybe two: Harry; and Stocker looks a likely type.

I thought the commentators were pretty good today.
They made the point that with so many close games and only the one win to show for all the effort it can take its toll on the young players.
I knew we would get beaten today but was not expecting that.

Went to the game.
Met Sydney Blue at half time.
Nice fella. We had a laugh.
Couldn't believe what we just went through.

Then there was more of the same, although we kicked 3 in the 3rd. Nice.

Sat behind the goals: Cheer squad end for the kids. Prefer the wing.
Female Carlton supporter in front of me.
She had her family front and square either side.
Was nice to be amongst brethren.
Strange, she didn't like me calling the umpire a suck, and that I was too loud.
I'm loud, coz Im barracking for Carlton and I'm at the footy, not in front of aTV.
Why the @#$%&! do you sit behind the goals amongst the cheer squad at the footy.

I was nice and apologised then remained quiet for the rest of the game, having the odd chat with my 11 and 15 yo.
Was a terrible evening.

i cant believe this is what Carlton has become?
The cheer squad were amusing for the kids, and me after half time.

Putrid....but I saw GWS do the same to Swans at the SCG a couple weeks prior.
They should win the flag. We are trying to get off the bottom.

Felt like men against boys. Fisher and SPS were tiny against them when in the midfield. SPS handles them ok but doesnt dominate.
De Boer crosses the line. Can see why players are uptight with DeBoar and umpires letting him hold players.
Cripps looked like someone was trying to rape or wrap themselves around him.
Eyes on Cripps not the ball. Hello umpire?

Shut down Cripps and you shut down Carlton.
Who will step up?

the lack of pressure from the 1st qrt and for the whole game was woeful.

How the hell did we win the free kick count 21-16

U have to be kidding. I don't know how stats r recorded these days but being there they were 5 to 1 in gws favour. I guess the free kick tally didn't include no 28 after being awarded bog for gws
