The hits just keep on comin.

Over this year already.

Too easily scored against. If Malthouse hasn't UNLEASHED his defensive mechanism based gameplan yet because he thinks we are not ready then I can sort of understand. If he has UNLEASHED it and what we are seeing is it then I think the old bloke might have lost the plot.

Our players run out of puff after 10 minutes each quarter. Are we unfit for a reason? Building to smash the wins post round 5? Doubt it but its something to cling to.

Yet we scored over 100

Lol

lucky bastards!!!

Tackling is the issue. Has been for years. We cannot make them stick. The opposition continuously gets away and it costs us goals every single week.

FYI every chance pies and cats are two of top 3 sides

Mick acknowledge we have a major issue with depth and its do obvious

We can't take a trick with injuries which makes it worse

We're feeling the effects of wasted first round picks on Watson, Lucas and Bootsma!!!
Put out the idea of trading Gibbs and Lucas at the end of the year and see if we get any worthwhile bites.
Target quality free agents and trade hard.
Davies and AJ are as good as gone at the end of the year!

The players are toothpicks... built for speed

Recruiting over the last six years or so didn't factor nonsense like tackling, shepherding, kicking, hand balling etc.

Endeavor is something we ack in spades.

How does MM or Stiks have anything to do with that?

Actually excited the way the list is being sifted through, no more hiding under the term potential.

Sticking with this

Yep. And lapses in concentration are costing us. That's gone on for years at CFC. Plus we are carrying a few blokes who are either not up to it or who are not up to it yet.

It's never as good as it looks and it's never as bad as it seems.

Murphy wasn't too bad. He got stung by Hunt and the Cats who made sure Hunt got plenty of attacking action. All part of their plan. Murphy wasn't tagging Hunt he was trying to lose him most of the night. THe other blues players needed to make sure their captain was looked after. They didn't. Murphy was a bit fumbly tonight. Hunt also played very well in the first half. He is a good player.

Gibbs was missing most of the first half but got back into it in the second half.

Plenty more highs and lows to come this season.

Yawn

Lucas is shake head hopeless.
Opposition players are relishing running at him cos they know he cant tackle.
He tries but he is another non physical type we recruited.
Davies is just pants!!!
Yarran and Garlett seem to be lacking conditioning.
Garlett misses Betts
We dont spot players up we just kick aimlessly.
Simpson should be dropped

Was clearly hampered from the start. Couldn't move properly, but still contributed, particularly in the last quarter.
