Obviously the Kemp, silvagni switcheroo worked well. Young was good with a few bonehead plays thrown in. Cerra better. Weitering great. Curnow better. Motsloppy ok in the first half. Didn't seem to touch it 2nd. Williams good before injured (vomit)

Boyd- looked Smaller this year, like a 14 year old school kid. Average...

Cowan- gives a Silly Free kick with 20 seconds to go..... Madness

Haynes- Decent in Patches but when it mattered, he Gave up the last 2 Goals- a Terrible Clanger to Ollie

Evans- I am Still wondering what VOSS sees in him. Dump Coach

Walsh & Acres - Continue to Butcher basic kicks- both Gone backwards

Ollie Hollands- Tries hard but he is too small and too Weak. Cracked under pressure

Crippa - Almost ready to call it quits. He is cooked... Can't do it alone anymore

Williams - As predicted, it was only a matter of time before he gets injured

McGovern - Will be his turn next week to do his Hammy

Docherty- Game gone past him. Couldnt kick a goal from 25m out

Curnow- Tried hard but its abvious he is not ready. Can't compete One on One anymore!!


The only Players that are worthy of a mention are TDK, Weitring & Hewett. Good game for Cerra but he does not hurt them enough

I think Hollands at HB is only temporary TBH. I believe he will become one of our greatest wingmen. Glascott good. He's a machine. A 10 year player. He's a keeper imo and bonus is he grew up barracking for Carlton.

I think we need to trade in a bonafide wingman to replace Acres.
Hollands will NOT be the greatest wingman.
He'll be lucky to be a 10 year player.
Tonight both Acres and Hollands were woeful.
Cottrell choked again as expected.

Like I said we will have to agree to disagree.


Too many of our outside players are butchers and have no hurt factor.... actually they only hurt Carlton.

Compare to someone like D'Ambrosio who can slice through a zone and open the game up.

Also midfielders that rarely kick goals.

Same story for the last 3 or 4 years.
And still no change in drafting/trading. :banghead:

On reflection the Williams injury was a big loss.

He was slicing through/breaking the lines.

Good teams have the depth to cover these injuries and sadly he's so injury prone.

When it comes down to it it seems like its always someone or someone's from the top dozen trying to drag the problem players across the line

We were dead to rights in the 4th once we took an extra man to the stoppage and let jones run around spare in defence.

Win the ball. Kick forward. Turn it over. Rinse and repeat.

We’ve done that brain dead tactic for 3 years. IMO, let’s win the stoppage on our own right, without the extra man there - there’s no point winning it, if you can’t enter the F50 bcos we’re a man down. . It’s pointless robbing Peter to pay Paul

We don’t have a plan b. We don’t move the magnets. Coaching is a big big part here. Instil the belief into the players. Instil the system that they can believe in.
You can have plan A to Z and it won't matter 2 hoots if the players can't handle pressure.

They are the most mentally weak players in the comp.

You don't miss those shots in the 3rd if you are brimming with confidence

Talent goes a long way. Coaches bringing that out and instilling belief goes further. No shit coaches have ever won a flag relying on player talent alone.

Plenty of mediocre lists and clubs have won flags with coaching and belief
It's nothing to do with talent they have the talent.
They don't have the mental capacity.

You watch when the season is totally shot and top 4 is out of reach and the pressure valve is released they will come out and flog any team that is put in front of them.

And that’s coaching, yeah

Preparing these guys and belief
No it's not.
We are like the Pommie cricket team ( or any Pommie team) we have master the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
How many times do you see England be 1 for 130 and all out 180.
Their soccer team always fails at final hurdle.
The longer the Premiership drought continues the greater the expectations become and the players do not have the ability to cope with it.

The weight of expectations is enormous and getting worse. I have been saying for years that they need to sack their shrink and go find the best in the business.

No amount of tactics or coaching can fix choking and panic.
It is why they need to trade in players who have been there and done it

Think you are forgetting Jagger Smith at pick #3. big loss that he's out for the season because what he can bring is a lot of what we are missing in transition and on the outside. classy ball use, speed and agility with the ball in hand.

Tonight we lacked having that spread of eight or nine goal scorers getting their one or two goals each. Our best midfielders have never been prolific scorers or even prolific goal assists at the best of times… Kennedy was one of our more reliable goal kicking, forward entry kicking mids but we ditched him. As for half forwards and small forwards with the Williams injury and no Elijah, Fantasia or Harry it left cupboard was pretty bare. Ling and Malthouse on ABC said every one of Walsh's possessions were garbage touches that had no influence on the game. Acres and Doc used to be play makers on current form they're closer to hot ball butchers.

We did a lot right and Kemp should be celebrated for keeping us in the game multiple times by kicking clutch goals. One of the few who kept his nerve under pressure.

No one has mentioned an Even Bigger issue with this Team this year!

This is the third week in a Row that We ran out of Gas. Most players are not Fit and can not run out Games. regardless of the opposition.


No wonder, we are Averaging 2-3 Goals only in the 2nd half. This is beyond concering and shows that our pre-season was a Party.

Some posters are unbelievable.
I hear the constant calls for Carroll who has yet to play out a reserves game.
We have seen 1 quarter in a nothing to play for practice game of Jagga and he will be the difference.
How do we know Jagga is not going to be another Paddy Dow

Give these kids a chance before saying they are the difference makers.

Richmond managed to overcome the burden of history. And yes I think they did it with a new shrink

I find it amazing how people like you tell blatant lies and then when called out for lying you move the goal posts. You said we did nothing in the draft or trade. You didn't say we brought sub-par players in, you said we did nothing at all. Classic move from someone whose best form is in shit stirring Blue supporters and rubbishing the entire team.

Pretty sure Jagger was identified by Gettable as a top-5 pick, if you think jagger is likely to be another Paddy Dow that's on you. Campo brothers are also ok by the looks of it, no worse than Acres and Doc are today and with a couple of seasons will run out games better and improve in all facets of their game. I've also bemoaned the lack of picking up an elite KPD in the trade or potential KPD in the draft, and losing a reliable goal kicker and and frequent drought breaker in Owies to get pick #3 but I cant agree that Austin did nothing at all.

There's not a club in the competition that would be concerned about giving up a lead to the Blues. Every team knows that we start well but will fade out.

The Cripps, Weitering, Curnow, McKay era is dead in the water. It produced a purple patch that got us 5 goals up in a prelim.

You can stick your AA's, Coleman's and brownlows up your arse. They mean absolutely nothing.

The window has shut before it even opened. What a monumental waste of talent

8 goals kicked in 2nd halves so far and 24 goals conceded. Voss said prior to Round 1 , that the focus this year was on defence and improving it. Looks like that`s gone out the window after only 3 rounds. What a joke :mad:
