I was busy and only tuned in five minutes into the third quarter.

So glad I only got to see the real Carlton.

Replace the players again. Replace the coaches again. It won't matter. This club is broken. This club is toast.

I can’t see Voss lasting much longer
Must change things up with personal
Reidy Wilson Ison simply have to be played
Players need a change of positioning
We are so slow with ball in hand

What a pathetic effort after quarter time
Voss has got to go along with Austin this is there team 5 years together and this is what they have come up with
Last trade period when they came out and said they were having a reset why would you bring in three players in there mid to late 20 we should have targets some in there early 20 who have leg speed not players who have no leg speed and are poor users of the ball but I guess it’s just the Carlton way

Cripps won a Brownlow 78 weeks ago.

Mental.

Simply untenable now.

Club has asked so much of its members for decades. To ask us to put up with this absolute sub par non AFL level BS is too much. What does he even say to the stakeholders now let alone the playing group?

Understood the changes made in the offseason and what they tried to do. Just hasn’t worked and we can’t waste this season.

Club is in a huge hole now

This rebuild has been terrible.

Should have reset in 2022. After Teague was sacked. So obvious.

We have the worst set of youngsters in the league. Our better players are past it.

Couldn’t be in a worse position with Tasmania coming onboard.

Worst club in the 21st century. The new StKilda.

We were 20 points up with 11 minutes left and we concede 7 goals

It's a serious issue which I am not sure how you fix.

The rot usually starts late in the 2nd quarter
The McGovern miss was typical.
We then had chances in the 3rd we should have buried.

Kemp is useless
Ollie fumbles and turnovers
Carroll made 2 to 3 bad errors
Why kick it to McKay when he is manned up by Gawn
Cripps is now to slow
I thought Elijah set us up for the win with 5 minutes of brilliance
Chesser is a bust
Cowan was terrible
Dean has a crack
Actually thought Young held his own
Gov was ok mainly first half


We are bottom 4 and we can thank Austin for that

If this is a rebuild it's a very bad one

Yes... I think that's exactly what he was doing.

What I don’t understand is if the list is as bad as many think it is how do we dominate first quarters and halves the way we do?

Good call on Young, SB. he cops it a lot on here but he was our best defender in Q4, took some strong marks. I hope that with Haynes coming back we can give Dean a spell in the 2s, he has a great future but his inability to run in the 2nd half is brutalising us - see the non contest for the first Ds goal in Q4, but there were other moments you could see him flailing and leaving us short at the contest.

It doesn’t help when you play 3 tall defenders and a 2nd ruck.

this year is going to be a lot tougher than I hoped,
seriously how it has come to this again…..
play pitto use young for a rest.
What has chesser shown that l.campo didn’t last year in the first few games I’d argue campo showed more.

Multiple mistakes and insipid efforts earlier.

the problem with young is the coaching.


you know he cannot kick the ball. you know at most he can do is an inside 10m handball. every time he has the ball, i want a runner coming off his shoulder and bursting clear. young is literally surrounded by williams, saad (when healthy), ollie, florent, cowan ... all these guys who can run and deliver the ball better than young. make use of the f'n stand rule, you useless turds in the box.



our general skills are so bad. makes me wonder what voss and co have been doing with them. bcos each year under voss, we have gotten worse - at least to the eye test. so any of the stat nuts here have disposal efficiency numbers since voss took over? have we regressed?

bcos, now jagga is handballing and kicking to the oppo. something which was inconceivable when we drafted him and watched before his knee, and then again this preseason.

we saw swans start this. richmond after HT did the same, and now the Dees. apply pressure at the stoppage, set up with an extra mid forward of stoppage and do whatever is need to push, tap, knock, parry the ball forward to the exit point.

we get there, they can't catch us, shit... they won't even try to catch us.


rinse and repeat.
