Game Day Rnd 9 - Carlton v Melbourne Game Day Discussion

[Blue_Fusion]

At least we aren't as bad as Geelong were yesterday.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Well, that was just awful.

 

[mickelboy182]

Yeah because they are mutually exclusive .

What shit.

That's the sort of negative tripe that deserves to be shot down. Not genuine criticism.

 

[prisoner777]

Can we forfeit the last quarter?

The Carlton mercy rule? (On an off-topic but more positive note did you see Elvis Presley The Searcher two part doco starts on SBS next Sunday?)

 

[95blues]

Just leave Murphy in a pocket full time. Might have better value up there.

Cant tackle. No pressure.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I can’t believe there’s still another quarter.

Indeed.

What a time to be alive.

 

[HBF]

Thank god we've got one more qtr to go.

 

[Jabba73]

Not much to like in that quarter, plenty of work still to do.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

So, I said at half time conceding 7 goals in a quarter is unacceptable.

So, we go ahead and concede 8 in the third. FMD.

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I can’t believe there’s still another quarter.

When the commentators said it was nearly siren time, I was thinking thank god. Then I realised there was a quarter to go. Groan

 

[Styxx]

Pretty sure I just read posters stating the players aren't trying because Murphy is captain again.


So you're suggesting Carlton hasn't changed at all and the enviroment is toxic again? Well **** me there is no hope for us.

 

[FRUMPY]

Reserves had a good win yesterday so a few good changes next week.........oh wait

Do Melbourne currently have any injuries? This year has been a write off because of injuries

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I'm just glad the club puts effort in to orange socks etc rather than try things like player development or improving as a footballer

Plowman needs a stint in Preston. Looks disinterested. I'm sick of seeing his half hearted effort

 

[passmark]

Melb remind me of Carlton 2011.

 

[Mondyboy]

SPS 19 possessions to 3/4 time. There’s been concerns about him this year but he’s been a shining light in this awful, awful game.

That last play is the story of our day, beyond me why Murph tried to go back inside by foot on a wet day, like most of our players today.

 

[FRUMPY]

Melb remind me of Carlton 2011.

Carlton remind me of Fitzroy 1996

In the first quarter, we played 7 defenders. They kicked 3.4 to 3.1.

In the second quarter and start of the 3rd we played 6 defenders and 6 forwards. They kicked 12.0 to 2.3 and steamrolled us, most of their goals coming from running past us into an empty goalsquare.

From the moment we went back to 7 defenders, 12 minutes into that quarter, they kicked 3.2 to 2.0. Not a comeback, but competitive.

How hard is it to figure out. Our midfielders and young forwards can't run defensively yet and need to be protected.

This smasjing is purely on Bolton and the medical staff (who have once again let an unfit player take the field)

 

[Captain Cripps]

So Melbourne who are a thousand goals in front drop back lever as an extra
And we’re getting belted but don’t ?
Hmm interesting footy blues

 

[Soapy V]

Hard to watch but you have a well drilled Top 4 side with no injuries that will take advantage of every mistake and we make too many.

IMO this is the worst side we have put in the park in 2 years but we are fighting. Hope we fight to the end.

Very happy with Cripps Fisher Dow McKay Kerr Jones Plowman Jones SPS Lang

Takes time to build a good team . We pressured last week and scrapped a win and we all loved it. We played a more seasoned team today. We are bottom 2 for a reason .

I'm talking about lack of effort, tackling, chasing just having a crack.
