If we want to win we have to put Curnow on Pendles.
If we don't...

We can barely run out a half. This will blow out we all know that.

Sadly this isn't even rock bottom. That will be next year. Then the year after. Then the one after that...

Holman and a few cheapie goals from their turnovers the only highlights.

What are you expecting for the rest of the season?

Really?

Intensity has been good, few newer guys going well, Henderson, Murph, Krooz playing well.

If we want to circumvent the AFL's predicted lack of intestinal fortitude and their granting of Brisbsne first round compensation pick which will give them picks one and two if they finish in the bottom of the ladder, we are going to have to pull our pants down and really embarrass ourselves in the next five weeks.

I would swap White with Wiley at half time. Pendlebury is killing White.

Do you watch a complete season?

Bell has "Hawthorn" standard of hardness. He is an afl standard clearance, tackler and midfield goal kicker. He needs to improve his decision making. He would get a game in most finals sides

Everitt is a designated 3rd forward in a dysfunctional team and has 24 goals for the season. He is an accurate kick and hard match up. Definite keeper and top 10 in the b &f, 2 years running. Needs to tackle harder

Nothing less than pick 1

Soft marker.
Murph has had it a fair bit but over used it by hand and has missed at least two easy passes by foot.
Krooz has been in and under but hasn't really had many clear possessions.
Hendo took a great mark early but hasn't done much apart from that.

No, move Curnow or Carrots on to him if you want to swap the tag.

Whiley on for Wood. Playing 1 short with him out there.

Spot on. The desire on this forum to bag even the guys giving 100% effort (bell) and the guys who can convert limited opportunities (everitt) is ridiculous. Although frustration with our overall standard can lead to a few rash calls every now and again.

Murphy did well to clear the pack and wastes the handball by lobbing it to a player who is covered.

We are seriously half a second too slow with every decision and get caught / fumble. Decision making is hurting even more than the skill errors.

Poor shallow entry by Cripps.

Not sure Carlton are really trying to win this.

Do the umpires have "I am a blind cheating t w a t" written in Arabic on the back of their shirts

Murphy again handballing once to a player under pressure and then backwards fifteen metres. Why doesn't someone kick it towards the goals. What they are doing is not working.

I was relatively happy with the first half but the lack of intensity and/or skill to start the second half is shockingly upsetting.

Murphy is playing for the cause
