Autopsy Rnd 23 - The nightmare is over. Bring on trades & draft

Still don’t understand how people can judge structure etc with what we are putting on the park and absolutely no cohesion. What am I missing?
Because last year there was a clear direction and style and players slipped into it. We tried to be more attacking, something I asked for to, but we seemed to abandon our defensive growth from the previous year. While I concur with your sense of optimism, it felt a bit like chucking the baby out when we lost that frantic style.

While younger players and smaller bodies are mitigating factors, our zoning style is largely the most accountable factor.
 
This. We are decently stocked for KPD's anyway, especially if we draft one more like Collins.

Nice guy, but Rowe offers nothing offensively, turns it over regularly and makes some howlers defensively...he can never catch running talls like Jenkins and efforts like the one where he was shrugged by first gamer Himmelberg on the boundary sums it up.

Time to cut the chord...just like Casboult we should be moving past these 2 for younger players.

We are only talking as a back up for another year and he can fill several roles. Not a big issue

I would like to congratulate the Carlton Cheer Squad for making me smile tonight. Its efforts in the last quarter deserve recognition. I loved the rousing rendition of ‘We are the Navy Blues’ so I joined in. I loved it when you chanted “We beat Essendon” for a couple of minutes. And the humour when we were over 100 points behind with Cam Polson lining up for goal. “Next goal wins, next goal wins”. Cam didn’t let us down.
Actually came into this thread to post something very similar. We have a great cheer squad, really showed support and love for the club no matter what. Great sense of humor. I was laughing for most of the last 10 mins or so.

I think I spent most of the last quarter monitoring crippa's contested possie stats and enjoying the cheer squad.

We did exactly the same Bluella :p

Thank goodness couldn’t see any of the garbage dished up last night and won’t look at replay that’s for sure.

Sorry if mentioned already but who played on Jenkins and Galluci?
 
I'm going to be seriously ****** off if we leave another player hanging on 99 games.
He's worth keeping for 1 more year as backup.

I’m seriously pissed off we kept him long enough to reach 99 games... So it depends on your point of view. We shouldn’t be keeping players on the list an extra year so they can reach a milestone... that’s madness.
 
I can’t believe the positivity in this thread.

We lost by 104 points to a team which had as much to play for as us.

Disgraceful effort and Bolton, Murphy and any other leaders at the club (bar Cripps) should be absolutely ashamed

Plowman Collins Byrne
Doc Weitering Marchbank

Too tall.
Agree, we can’t fit all our talls in the one backline, next year best backline would be:

Simmo, Jones, Marchy
Byrne, Weiters, Docherty

Willo is also in that mix, but just want him out on the park whatever! A battle b/w him and Byrne for that other hbf’er role.

Plowman, Macreadie are depth, and pretty useful depth at that. Re Plow, I think I read he played quite often as a mid in juniors, so why not try and convert him into one? Bigger body mids are what we desperately need! He can find the footy ok.

You obviously haven't read the entire thread.

What should we do. Kick the dog. Slash our wrists?
That wont change anything. And as its the last game there is only hope for next year.
So who would you get as coach? Sack them all? Delist 20?
Or deal with the reality and keep a smile for the future? And celebrate the growth of young players and some forwards starting to show a bit.
44 more games these youth need. And we must get some that can play and already have those 44 plus games in them. That is very difficult and a snap of the fingers just wont do it.
The coach and List manager have said that repeatedly.
