Autopsy 15 point loss to Carlton

[Heeney2Franklin]

If the club don't stand up for themselves and call this shit out they can GAGF. That's it for me. Will not watch AFL anymore. Blatant *ing cheating. Number 23 whoever the * he is should be ashamed of himself. Calling holding the ball against us in their forward half and non calling it in ours. ****ing disgraceful.

I used to be like that then after 2016 i try and look at things we can control to improve.

Its not worth it for your mental state of mind.

Why would we stand up? we took the trade ban without a fuss.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Ripped off by the shithouse, incompetent umpires sucking off the home team and wanting Carlton to play finals.

Absolute shithouse dickheads.

You know the ****ing rort is in when a Hawks supporter comes to this board and states this. Thanks for the support btw but this competition is very near to earning the tag of the most corrupt sporting body in the World. They want us to respect umpires ? Yeah sure. Its just like being told to drop your strides bend over and take what is coming and then say thanks.

We got outplayed then play catch up. I don't know how to feel as at half time I was thinking if we get smashed it's time for Horse to start making significant changes for the rest of the year , then they put that second half performance on like that ? So much more commitment in the second half ...I don't mind if we lose by 10-20 points if we have been in the game all night but 57 points in a quarter without a whimper .....
Kennedy possibly his last game , I don't think he will get more than a week for the late tackle was not that bad. Really gives someone in the two's to put their hand up and get a decent run in the one's.
Good comeback to get close but this is like a broken record...
Logan was class and that was the standout for me.

Basically shot up the ladder with a coach that has a idea what he is doing and a terrific few seasons of recruiting.

Curnow getting fit helps.

They haven’t played finals in 9 seasons. Similar to the Lions in 2019 who finallly pulled it altogether and the recruiting and drafting paid off. Only took nearly a decade.

Starts with the coach yep.

Hope we don’t have anymore Friday night games we very rarely put up a good showing.

What a dirty night

We looked weak.

Pleasing to respond but sick of it always having to happen and we aren’t making the most of all that effort this year.

If only Reid wasn’t on the outer. He is probably marginally better than Ladhams. He has upside (Ladhams) but right now he gives no more than Sinclair has in the past. At very least when Reid is up forward he is a genuine in the air target. Just can’t finish if he marks it. Needs to do a fake cramp and have the closest player kick for him.

I feel like some umpires are out to get buddy this year. sensitive little dick bastards.

 

[grimlock]

You can’t play the 2 rucks imo

Embarrassing the 2 rucks lost to their second choice ruckman with basically no backup

Hickey played 66% TOG and Ladhams 56% so they were on the ground together only 22% of the time. That’s at a cost of a midfield rotation

 

[Olian]

Starts with the coach yep.

No, Voss had the Blues up by 40+ against us, 50 against a win less Port and in the end they had to fight hard to win at home. Voss hasn’t achieved anything yet.

 

[elastic]

I think it was this, more than anything else, that cost us the game.

We rely so heavily on our key backs marking and T Mc had a mare.

I’ll forgive him.

Backline doesn't appear to be gelling. Look panicked alot of the time, punching the ball when they should be marking and rarely handballing it comfortably to work our way out. It's a different group and it may take time. I'd like to see COR get a run of games as he is a good competitor and gives his all.

A little dick is totally ok according to my wife. I would probably make a crap umpire though to be fair.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Hopefully jpk's hammy was not as bad as it seems. He was a great player but went two seasons too long. He was embarrassing before the injury tonight.Hopefully he gets back for one farewell game at the end of the season.

Bell did one or two nice things but is hopeless in 50/50 contests. I hope not to see him again.

Wicks made some judgement errors. Tough as a cats head and I would prefer to see him down back.

Ladhams disappointed. Think we should still persist.

 

[scaryness]

Warner had 12 clangers tonight apparently

 

[swanssince2002]

In hindsight, it was a miracle that the backline post the bye held up as it did last year. Its been a concern since Round 1 2022 for teams who were able to take advantage of all the fumbles in the backline.

 

[Wolfgang West]

When you have the amount of spillage at both ends of the ground we had tonight only one thing remedies it. Get ****ing numbers to the drop of the ball. That killed us in the first half and its been a problem for 10 weeks now. Halfway through the 3rd qtr when it appeared we run all over them. Surprise surprise.

You seem upbeat. Anything happen tonight to make you this way?

The kid embarrassed both of them.

 

[decca]

carlton younger
less experienced
less players under 100 games

So f... what....how long ago was it you pulled yourself before running out and stubbing your toe on the door? We wernt disgraced l over 4 quartets and personally I think there's a lot to take from this game....Carlton ain't winning a flag this year and neither are the swans but this game will be defining (if the swans learn) .this board runs emotion and fa else....

 

[The King!]

pick stephens rowbottom the other warner kid

ditch bell cor etc

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

COR added nothing

COR, Fox, Gould insert whoever else.

Its just shuffling the decks we dont have anymore AFL standard defenders Rampe is still our best at 32.

 

[Olian]

COR added nothing

0 turnovers in our defence puts him in the elite category.

Nope. I am feeling miserable about it all.
