Risk free footy, always looking to give it off to someone else because they're scared to @#$%&! up.

Thank goodness we have a midfield - forwards acting mainly as decoys so midfield can get the goals...
Simmo doing well I think.

Playing too many players out of position and selecting players not in form. Being badly beaten tactically as against Eagles.

We have too many players that struggle when there is no space.

Cmon Ratts get it together!

Playing very badly.

I still think we will win.

Bit tough but not far off the mark (except the Richmond line)

I don't mind a loss if it is honourable though effort and application, this effort is pretty [poor, we seem far too fragile.

Chance to redeem in the last.

This

They want to win this, we're expecting to win this.

They're first to the ball, tackling in packs, running hard into space and most important they're moving the ball quickly and with purpose.

Our guys are waiting for the ball to come out, bombing on heads of guys who wouldn't know the meaning of 'contested mark', handballing to guys under pressure and delivering half-arsed 'tackles'.

We are really lucky to be less than 5 goals down.

The old counter game got us off our axis. Crows pulled it off also.
Dogs had some success with it against the pies too.

We also look like the walking wounded out there. At training yesterday i noticed alot were not moving freely.
Waite, Robbo, Russ and Yaz were all proppy.

Fingers crossed for a miracle but if not we can set ourselves to strike in finals from 5th or 6th.

Fingers crossed it's not a bit of a blow out.

We're definitely no top 4 side, and our run home is the toughest out of the other teams around us anyway.

You should change your pseudonym to something that more closely reflects your lack of support.

Yeah go on. Keep burying your head in the sand. Were good, were a top 4 side, were Carlton, so that means we are going to win the flag, just because we are Carlton.

I've had a gutful of us being a bunch of front runners

Gee, reading this reminds me of why it's embarrassing to be an online Carlton supporter.

Ratts better have that 3rd Q of the Swans game in the Iphone and ready to go at the break. Geez we're a dissapointing mob, and just when we thought we were a challenger

Hmmph, need to lift just a bit. Dogs have been too desperate today.

How do you figure we're not a top 4 side?

We've spent most of the season in the top 4 and I can't see how we drop out after today

Does everyone remember the come back in the last quarter Blues from earlier in the year? I don't see us showing that game today. I only see us getting beaten as there is no target up front and we are getting smashed on the turnover from the forward half. This will be painful to watch. I don't think we will make the top 4 now. I think we are just another team in the 8.
