Betts on fire early with this ripper snap from the pocket

Eddie Betts is up to his usual tricks in this year's Sir Doug Nicholls Round, snapping a beauty from the boundary line

Cripps made this snap look way too easy

Random thoughts:

Half way through the season and it’s clear our gameplan doesn’t work. 0-6 against the top 8 teams will tell you that much.

Playing Cas, TDK and Pitto should never, ever be tried again.

Good games from Cripps (easily his best for the year) and Harry on one arm.

The last 5 mins of every quarter is a mental black hole for us and everything we’ve tried for the last decade hasn’t worked.

How we had all the pressure in the second and couldn’t score, only to be hit on the counter by the swans with the Buddy goal was just soul crushing.

Same shit, different opponent. I turned the game off early for the first time in years today. It's ****ing embarrassing. I could handle watching beltings when we were a rebuilding team, but we're meant to be established now.

This is just soul sucking trash, and the coaching team don't seem to think strategic changes are needed. Supporters can see it, the media can see it, and opposition teams can see if for sure, but according to Teague's messaging the Blues are gonna stay the course and tinker around the edges.

Carlton continue to play on while under pressure and turn the ball over, didn't see us take advantage once during the game that didn't result in a turnover. We lead the league for playing on, it clearly isn't working.

The usual kicking effort where players kick themselves into trouble, and yet there are no signs of the coaching group trying to correct structural issues that lead to the kicking issues. We're the worst team for kicking efficiency this year.

Also, why are we continuing to play the likes of Casboult? He's been an absolute liability this year, what happened to selection integrity?!

I know it's just a game, but considering the last year, footy was something to look forward to.
But now, I'm just so ****ing over it.

I just want to know what the selectors were thinking when they were looking to replace Plowman. Do they select Parks, a genuine mid-sized defender who would’ve been a perfect matchup for either Heeney or Papley or Levi ****ing Casboult

And once again the midfield set up is a liability when the game is on the line

Miss me yet?

 

[Schrempfian]

No Plowman no Carlton

 

[Blueballs38]

sick of this shit

 

[ShanDog]

How does a team so consistently fail to get the basics right?

 

[ferrisb]

In it all game, but just not good enough.

Getting tiring...

 

[SolGoodman]

Story of our season, missed our chances, 4 goal loss to a top 8 side, can't run out a game without huge lapses.

What changes, honestly? I'm tired.

Also, for the Plow haters, go look what Heeney did to us today.

Sickening loss.

 

[jooce8891]

im at a point where i just dont care that we lose anymore, zero emotion.

 

[Blueballs38]

lost AGAIN at selection MC is ****ing ******ed or betting against us on the TAB

 

[Jabba73]

Not enough love for Plowman

 

[Coops93]

We say it a lot, but that game was lost at the selection table.

He's been a great soldier for a long time, but what does Casboult provide for us now? Absolute waste of a spot in the 22.

 

[Mikkey]

We clearly don't have a finals team. Especially with 3 top 10 draft midfielders playing in the VFL. I think it is especially this fact that the rebuild looks like a bust.

[ferrisb]

We look so much more dangerous out of the middle when TDK is rucking.

I know he's easing back into footy, but I can't wait till he's playing proper ruck minutes.

 

[Rosscoe]

Really missed plow out there.

 

[Paul66]

Shattered. Again.
