Newman beat Rankie, Walsh was good back from a serious injury and that about it I think in terms of positives.

Stoppages are meant to be our strength. Last year we won games on the back of that alone.
How can we be so bad this year with the same personnel?

First leg of my multi (Adelaide 40+) also a positive.

Nice! I had the crows winning but didn’t except by so much. Very disappointing.

Yep, was the speculator of the round

Whatever Coach came up with the idea of playing Kennedy at HB and Hewett at HF needs to stay in Adelaide please.

Why was Cincotta not given a chance ahead of Plowman???
Why was Kemp not playing ahead of Plowman????
Why is Dow not even given a chance
Some very strange tactics and coaching tonight

Just looked out of sorts all night. Looked more than a little unsettled by 4 changes to the squad.

So many panic kicks without looking. FFS Acres set the scene with that kick out of mid air in the 1st. Worked his way into the game but come on Blake.

Too many players either faded in & out, or just had shockers. Fisher & honey very little influence again.

And we've done the old Carlton thing of sending 2 players to tackle, leaving a man free. All night

Crows were good, credit to them. Looked a bit like us early last year at times.

10 day break before the Saints isn't it? We'll need it to debrief that shit.

I fear the Saints will also touch us up next week. Marvel is smaller so we might be able to contain them better but they look too slick and play with intensity that we don’t seem to have.

Looking at our draw will be lucky to win 2 games out of our next 7

We look completely lost at kick outs. Bomb to the same wing of right side every time.

Then defending kickouts we get picked apart. If we make a contest we can’t stick a tackle.

Just incredibly depressed we are still this bad after so many years.

Clog the middle so that the contest results in a fumbly disposal.... Or then open up and spread (if ruck dominant) as our spread and speed is terrible...
Other teams have worked out not to let us contest in space no matter what...

We're the ones that need to wake up to it.... First quarter was a classic example... Didn't start contesting the open play until the second

Go Blues

We actually won stoppage clearances 30 to 19….got beaten in centre clearances 18 to 12

Same, it was predictable.

Cant believe all the hype just because we were 2nd on the ladder. Anyone that knows anything about football would know that we have many flaws and were ripe for the picking.

My wife tells me off for yelling at Plowman, tells me I'm a bad Carlton fan. I should be supporting the players, she says.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Ross and SOS laughing in our faces.

Poor old plowman had a mare

It's still got me flowered how we always have a clogged forward line and the opposition does not. Dear coaches. Please sort out
