R13: Carlton v Essendon** (Post match discussion)

I never thought we were that far away bit we are. We have players that simply can't play the modern game. It's why teams like Collingwood & Adelaide beat us easily. They play a quick brand and have good leg speed.

Our leg speed and skills are the poorest in the league.

Big list changes need to happen

Carlton 56 inside 50s to 41.

3 goals 10 in the first half was the killer.

Poor conversion again

Charlie kicked a goal when the pressure was off and the game was over. 0.4 in the first half.

Cripps terrible, again.

Cerra, Weitering and Saad decent.

Please stop saying weiters was decent !! He was fking cheating and hopeless , he is like that worker that always makes himself look busy…

Weiters need to be traded while he has value and he has the competition still fooled about him ..

How’s this for irony , we need a 3rd tall who can play Ruck and has a good set of hands and hard to beat … hmm x oh that’s right we got rid of casboult , and were is he now ??

I honestly wish I could get my 4 hours back from going to this game what a waste of time.
The players have checked out they don’t chase they don’t tackle they just collect stats they think they are superstars.
Motlop has to be the most ineffective pressure forward we’ve had.
Players jog away from him.
Docherty is lost on the field being moved between wing and half fwd doesn’t look like he cares.
Weiters can’t hit a 15m kick.

I like kemp
Dow at least looks like he gives a crap.

The two most frustrating things for me were the shear number of dumb free kicks we give away, & how easily the opposition are allowed to walk the ball out of our 50

I enjoyed watching us play apart from that 9 mins. But we have crap team/list. Just another week of good team beats crap team.

We need to add running power and a decent ruck.

Our setups are all wrong.
All over the ground we are either out positioned or siting in the wrong areas.
Our centre bounce lineups, our forward setups and our defensive match up or line ups. All wrong nothing is right. For instance, we must be one of the only teams that allows opposition to waltz out of our forward line, run through the middle and then find uncontested forwards at any time.
I’m not sure what the answer is or how it has become so wrong, but I can tell you, it’s setup, and we are getting pantsed in the coaches box.

I’ll add - why do we refuse to give Kennedy so little time in the middle. He is, outside of Cerra, our best clearance mid.
Also, I feel more comfortable when Cincotta, Boyd and Kemp have ball in hand, instead of some seniors. Just embarrassing.

When we were playing crap and winning at the start of the season I was thinking that it was a sign of a good side that you could play bad and still win.

How wrong was I.
This side is terrible

Yeah I thought so too but how wrong was I.

I also saw the signs in the Norf game: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=37725&p=2153397#p2153397

I went.
There are no words left to describe how I feel right now.
For the amount of ball we had and the inside 50's how in the hell do we only kick 6 goals?
Essendon* came out firing after half time and we had no idea how to stop it. A guy sitting a few rows in front of me cracked it at the 10 minute mark of the 3rd quarter and stormed out swearing, he didn't come back.
We are an embarrassment and us fans deserve better.
A few can hold their heads up tonight, Cerra being one of them.
I wished I had stayed home and watched the cricket.

Will be Interesting how this unfolds we would normally sack the coach after a run of games like this.
Club needs to stick with Voss to show stability but will they hold strong or give in ??
Unfortunately If he stays we probably finish bottom 3.
Anybody think we can beat the hawks on current form?
I think we win 1 more unless something drastically changes.
We are a shadow of a team.

I think most of us tuned out emotionally a while back.

It was the WBD game for us. We still kinda watch but just don't have the investment.

I haven't been since the Lions game and not looking like I'll bother again this year.

yep, that was my breaking point. when i turned back on halfway through the third ans saw the scores i felt zero passion or pain

Many are saying if we kicked straight early we would have probably won the game, many of our scoring shots in the second did not come from a good footy system, it was hazardous at best. In the last we did the same, controlled the footy in our 50 but with no system or composure it was more of hope and luck that would have made us score not a system.

Indeed.

Last 3 weeks .... 6 goals vs Swans, 6 goals vs Melb and tonight 6 goals vs Ess ...... we must have cheated 4 weeks ago vs Pies because we scored 7

Last week the Premier A-League soccer team kicked 6

Already garbage game made completely unwatchable by shithouse overumpiring.

Carlton so innefectual that Essendon* played one quarter and still won by 5 goals. On current form I can't see another win coming this season.

Pro: Essendon* will only win between 2-3 games this year and miss the finals (l hope as they really aren’t that flash)

CK95 · **Posted:** Mon Jun 12, 2023 12:40 am

They've got the softest draw ever unfortunately. They're making finals

Voss is not a coach until he drops Cripps. Call it managed if you want.

Reorganise the team from there.
