I CANNOT BELIEVE, FOR ONE MINUTE, WE HAVE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE WHO WERE ACTUALLY HOPING FOR CARLTON TO LOSE TODAY.

People wanting us not to make the finals, at the same time wanting Collingwood to have a double chance.


Yep. I'll believe this team has learned some @#$%&! thing when their pea brains show even the faintest flicker of neural activity. Until then, this failure and humiliation hangs on all of us like raw sewage. @#$%&! losing in this fashion, @#$%&! it right up the clacker.

Learned exactly 12/10ths of nothing from last week. Mental dwarves. Anyone who’s followed this club longer than 30 seconds knew this was going to happen.

Why are we so predictably weak?
Why can’t any leader stand up and take control?
Why did we all know we were going to choke this?
Why is near enough considered good enough?
Where to from here?

Last week I thought for the first time after the game that the players gave a @#$%&!
Now I feel like this is a line in the sand moment, a pain that should spur them onto greatness next season but I’ve been saying that for so long that I just don’t know anymore.

At what point do they say enough is enough and make their fate?
At what point can we finally shake off our Carlton PTSD and believe they can do what is expected?

Another season of waste. Before the season I predicted we would either finish 8th or 9th, either by percentage or not. But after what was shown earlier this season, this has been the biggest pricktease since the nightclub scene in my late teens.

Inconsolable. @#$%&! this.

“There’s always next season” :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Why go to the pocket when any score gets us through.


This.

Clearly Durdin learnt nothing last week.

If there’s a minute or less to go, you must not, MUST NOT, turn the ball over.

I think in the off season our dumb players need to spend as much time in the footy classroom as on the training field. Durdin and Charlie can do extra hours.

yep sad and so so sick of this frustration at a club that finds new ways of handing out showbags of despair.

whats the Carlton version of colliwobbles - carltichokes?

Bluebaggers become Bluesaggers....

The only solace I take out of this is these 2 games were finals type games. Just have to hope the dumb cauliflower learn over summer.

Forgot LOB and his forward 50 entry when he again waited and waited and waited, than sat it on Motlop's head when he is up against two talls.
The match committee got it right two weeks running. But we just couldn't have the footy smarts to get it done.

Eight years into a rebuild and still haven’t made finals

Not sure if we are ever going to arrive

Something stinks in this club

I have no faith that we will take the next step next year

Collingwood have won 9 games this season by single digits! That’s remarkable.

The third quarter was brilliant, Charlie kicks that goal early in the last and I reckon we run away. As it was, we should have scunged a draw in the last couple of minutes.

Anyway, it wasn’t meant to be.

It absolutely sucks we didn’t make the finals, but going to the footy in 2022 has been fun (mostly). Yes, we need to get better, and we definitely need to look at our injury prevention/management, but there’s no need for the doom & gloom.

Gutted, just feel numb
So many chances in the last - Charlie and Durdin, just wow - any composure and we win
So pissed off at this team, coulda, woulda, shoulda - but didn't
20 more inside 50s - just no one up forward who can handle the pressure.....

It was predictable Coll would come back. We needed to show more dare and didn't.

They were both awesome. Cripps was flower huge. Almost got us home on his own. He was probably BOG.


Yes but where were they at the death? MIA just like last week.

Oh Doc kicked it out of bounds.


Cripps had 27 contested possessions. 27.
Short of putting on a Cape I'm not sure what you expect from the man.

Horrible day that will burn all summer.

My son, who has kicked a goal after the siren in a GF to win. He kicks a goal with 1 minute left from a 5 goal deficit only 5 points down. He marks 25 out on an angle. he’s one of the most reliable kicks in the comp. You wouldn’t want the ball in anyone else’s hand. Anyway….He kicks a point. Season over.

Ditto Doc, Charlie, Durdin…..looking for one point….season over

It’s not a good place to be here atm and some of the posts, whilst understandablle, are a bit over the top. I feel your pain.

Walsh out before the game is a good reflection on our season since we were 8-2. Injuries got us in the end. The effort was there. The list needs to improve. Walsh Kennedy Hewitt all out injured….it was the season that was and coulda woulda shoulda….

I feel like I’m the only one with some composure in this household.

Williams and Cerra were great today even if underdone.

Who doesn’t think we will get better in 2023?

This loss will burn…will burn our players, our coach, our list manager….and finally, a few on our list.

Thanks for putting Carlton back on the map Sayers, Cook, Voss & co. We have not disgraced our brand. :clap:

It’s doom and gloom for me

Should have comfortably consolidated a position in the eight

Instead we have choked and embarrassed ourselves

The AFL competition stands still for no one so you take your opportunities when they present themselves

you are right Bondi and it has been good to win a few more, but please Carlton, more of the first half wins and less of the second half of the year's losses please.
Take a break, then get back and started working out those kinks, and for flowers sake try to work out what is happening on the injury front.

Step up at the death.
Oh and BTW he had 1 or 2 touches in the first quarter..
And where was he and Doc when we played St K and Bris?

Look the Blues have missed finals because we have finished the year L L L L

There is a darth of leadership at the club
