I know we are a young side but it just seems that everytime we play someone we should win against we take the foot off the gas.

Listening to the game in Brazil so cannot offer a great opinion but it sounds like we have about 15 players compared to thier 22 ... not hearing possession by a great many of our players.

Geez Judd is worth 10 times what we are paying him!

Go Waite.

Wake up midfield ... these guys are a joke .... stop being thier beatches

what a complete waste of time that first half was.

no numbers to the ball, ball rebounding out of our forward 50 WAY too easily & fev obviously not right.

yet again we give an ordinary football team a sniff and belief.

pissed off!

Gibbs needs to run as hard as Murphy.

You could argue that Armfield and Russell are running harder than Gibbs tonight.

Where's the run to take them on?

Carlton are the worst team in the AFL when it comes to shepherding.

Scotland and Stevens are liability without the ball.

Pretty tired...hes carrying a few players

Firstly, you can't just play Hampson in the ruck, he needs a partner, which leaves Cloke and if you think Sandialnds is dominating the ruck contests now that'll only get worse.

Secondly, Kreuzers run through the middle and his work around the ground are keeping us in the game. Why would you want to move him out of the game? The problem is we;re not getting the ball into 50 often enough, not that we're not doing enough when it gets there.

Can't understand the fascination with moving Kreuzer away the middle and taking away his run.

We need to stop Sandilands, turnovers & giving away silly frees !!
Amazingly we're only a couple of goals down.

Time for "the Fev Show"

Fev was noticably limping a few minutes before half time, whatever is wrong with him seemed to get worse as the game progressed. Unless he gets a jab we should not expect much output from him in the second half.

To Carlton's credit they did hang in there despite not actually playing intensely enough.

Will be interesting to see what changes the coaching staff make for the second half.

Hope the Dockers tire in the second half and we can run over them.

Judd, Krooz and Murphy best for the Blues so far.

You have it right there - until we get that discipline we are going to struggle. These two are not our future. Concern is who do we replace them with???

Because he is young and is a natural fwd and we have had only 2 marks inside 50 plus Fev is obviously injured. Colke is doing nothing up fwd and Hampson is a natural ruckman not a fwd. Plus we need to kick goals to win the game!

AGREE!!! he'd be dangerous in the forward line, but what would you lose around the ground?

Why, Sandlilands is rucking all night, why can't Hampson?

Sadly Clokey is becoming a liability as well. Cannot impose on the contest at all. Defensive skills?

look very flat

a little like the hawks last night .....

a move i wouldnt mind seeing.

cloke/hampson into ruck with the sole purpose to run through sandilands (but to at least make it like he is going for the ball)

kreuzer to forward line as a tall marking option

we are losing the ruck regardless, lets use someone who is ineffective up forward in that position, play to sandilands tap, and use kruzer as a tall marking option.

A natural fwd? Are you not watching him kill it running through the middle and linking up? He's almost a natural ruck-rover. Why would you want to move him away from where the play is?

It doesn't matter who we have down there if the ball aint gettin there. Waite and Fevola is plenty if we get the ball down there a bit more.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Well, he's not, Michael Johnson is relieving him. Besides that, Hampson is going to get worn out battling against Sandilans all night. Takes a lot of energy to hold your ground in those ruck conests.

How many teams run with one ruckman?

carl 2 marks inside 50 for 2 goals
freo 5 marks inside 50 for 5 goals

The one thing that pisses me off about Kreuzer is that we don't have two of him.

One to ruck, and one to play CHF.

Quad a bit sore according to Ch 10.

Doesn't look interested when on the ground. Get him to lead to pocket, take a few players with him, then Kick it to Waite....
