i went and sat behind the goals today and most of the time it's because there is almost zero movement off the ball...

someone with better footy knowledge than me might want to chip in but it also looked like the saints were happy to give us that sideways kick short and eventually force us long down the line where most of the time we'd be outnumbered and they'd run and spread away...

I can’t keep doing this to all these posts but....again.

Yep.

Heard It all before. I’ve gotten into debate after debate sticking up for Bolts over the years, but after last week, he finally lost me. The lack of response today just reaffirmed it. Over him and his excuses.
Whether we like it or not, today reaffirmed that Bolton is as good as gone. His post game pressers are repetitive and predictable, and his game plan (if there is one) is virtually for the rubbish.

Sad thing about today is that Saints were really bad.
Any other team plays them and they win by 40 plus points

Well one thing was blatantly obvious today, you can't call an umpire a cheating ......... and expect no repercussions.

Aside from the fact the game, skill level and execution from both teams was awful. The umpiring was deplorable and the AFL will never admit this. The bias in me seen that every time the boys tried to get some flow they were pinged for something that in every other round and game was left to play on and the frees we should've got were just ignored.

They want us to fail.

Eagles only beat them by 3 goals, round 8.

Finally agree 100% with you Syd

I'm going back to kokoda

This Great Recruiter in Stephen Silvagni which we all hailed as our Savior is turning to be a the greatest Con of this footy Club!!

For God's sake, can you recruit some players who can play this Game? so many puppets, so many pretenders and so many below Average players who are just not developing into anything!!

Every other Club recruits players who shows something... Look at bloody Geelong....

While you're there, please recruit a few headhunters.

It is hard to imagine that there's not a number of players around the country better than a number of players on our list.

I hadn’t been able to decide the last few weeks, but today confirmed it for me - our problem is the game plan (hence coach) is useless yet over complicated and has ruined any sense of instinct/flair & confidence in our players.
I don’t remember being terrified of Dow having the ball last year. Fish has regressed.

The players get the ball and have NFI what to do because the game plan is just a joke (if one can even define it)

The review apparently concluded the game plan was overcomplicated last year - nothing has changed. And that’s on Bolts.

Gold Coast do not have more talent then us IMO - but they play to a structure and system!

I think today may have been the beginning of the end. Very selfish play by all including the best, the oldest and the youngest. When players start looking out for themselves rather than doing team thing, you’re gone. Might have lost faith.

Yep, close to worst game ever, just awful. Don't watch.

It's fair to say that as shit as we've been the best part of 17 years, it's never been as painful to watch us play, than it is now. Our basic skill execution, and decision making, is just deplorable. I am getting to the stage where football free weekend, ie, Carlton free football free weekend, is my preferred weekend. The club is in a very, very dangerous point right now. I gave up my 30 year long membership 2 years ago. And now, I just don't want to watch us anymore.

Carlton board, do something, apart from use this club as a plaything.

fk that, I've had enough

I truly believe that we are led by a bunch of heartless and greedy business Men who took control of our Club since 2003 and have totally destroyed it.

whilst as business men, they might have had success in turning a profit for the club ( or for themselves?? ), generating millions in revenue from Poker machines and other ventures, On the other hand, they have totally neglected the football side of things.

Those Men have no clue about football!

People ask the same question every week " What is the solution?? "


The Solution is that our entire Board must be stood down, our CEO Sacked and our entire football department should be replaced by people who know something about football.....


We are sick of the lies... the false promises.... the 5 year plan that has already occurred 3 times in 15 years....
