Autopsy 2025 Rd 4 Blues to petition AFL to halve the length of games

[gunslingr]

I'm not usually one to pin it on the coach.

But this time.... it really is the coach.

9 minutes of play left in the fourth quarter. Carlton are around five goals down...

And all they are doing is chip kicking around half back... IN A WET WEATHER GAME!

No sense of urgency. No one wanting to take the game on. No care for gaining territory.

This is 100% a coaching issue.

Voss and the assistants simply HAVE to go.

I just don't see how that particular issue is on Voss. The players are looking for options, we've been effectively choked ahead of the ball, NO ONE is creating a target, so the ball carriers have such limited options.

Your key points about urgency, taking the game on, gaining territory aren't wrong though, it's just that they seem to jibe with what Voss has said publicly and therefore MUST be part of their preparation. Now if that sort of stuff isn't part of their training regimen then I think the whole coaching staff needs to go ASAP

We are on a slide and the neither the group regardless of if it's the players or the coaches can turn it around.

Losing the same way week after week.

 

[Broadside]

Maybe graham wright ?

I know we need a winger but he’s probably too old.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Nuke the joint

 

[Bringbackeddie]

Get rid of the coach. Trade every player over the age of 22 worth 2nd rounder or higher. Oh, and revoke the dick pick guy’s membership.

 

[SolGoodman]

I have nothing anymore…………..

I'm with you Soapy, I'm broken mate, club needs a HARD reset.

Something rotten with this club

Heard that one before

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Anyone trying to spin this as positive is either related to Voss or a Collingwood supporter. That was insipid, lifeless and an embarrassment. A soulless business this formerly great football club has become. Hard reset across all levels or salt the earth and burn it down.

Anything but more of this…

 

[Accidental genius]

Definitely looks like our players play like duds but imo it’s because we don’t train with a system

It’s just patches of individual brilliance that sometimes gets us going

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Missing targets by the looks of it.

We actually were. If you watched any of the training footage the skill level even in preseason is so bad park footballers would be embarrassed.

Very hard watch.

Questions have to be asked of Austin now. How can we have assembled so many footballers who are either A) dumb or B) unskilled or C) both?

Just so depressing. We've waited patiently since the 2015 AFL draft for this list to come together - 10 years - and this is what we've ended up with?

Utter wank.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Never seen a less spirited performance? The players just dropped their heads the moment it got hard and threw in the towel. We had no answers and no care either the ball, the amount of times we soccered it straight to a Collingwood player OMG.. Something is seriously rotten.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

When a player (Ollie Hollands in this instance) has teammate alone 40 metres ahead of him towards the wing, but instead chip kicks sideways to a 2 on 1 against their favour...

THAT tells you everything you need to know about this team right now.

They are mentally shot. 100% a coaching problem.

 

[Cowboyblues]

Love em.
Will watch all the way til the end.
Bloody frustrating getting beaten so bloody always the same way since the prelim in 23.
Will White. Good man. Presented. Tried. Give him time.

I dunno if we are poorly coached or just the dumbest team in the comp.
Either way we need work.
Let’s open the account next week after an outing at camp curnow.

What would it take to get Longmire in to review stuff the next couple of weeks.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

I'm nearly 36. I've seen no success as an adult. What will it take to fix this broken club?

Fresh people on the board, a complete tear down of the football department and some bold trading.

 

[Wickzki]

Lachie Schultz Pratt medal. He embarrassed McGone

Understand the mobility and stuff but being outmarked by him should not happen. Bye Mitch

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Bring back Leading Teams!

Hell, give Collective Minds a go.

 

[Soapy V]

Culture. We stand for NOTHING anymore

 

[morningbrown]

I’ll never see a good Carlton team in my lifetime. It’s rinse and repeat. Yes Voss needs to go but 90% of this dog shit list should be embarrassed with themselves, they’re played to sack a coach for the third time in six years. Patrick Cripps now three times in a row has dropped his load when the coach’s job was on the line. This is a sick, diseased football club. Nothing will fix it. I’m not going to force my kids to support them like our parents did.

 

[Mondyboy]

Williams

Stupid question really. Of course.

 

[No1Suspect]

What were we doing in preseason?

Contest and pressure?

 

[azlou]

Doc pulled a Biden should have retired last year we need to trade one of Curnow or Harry only way to get currency for a reset

 

[outabounds]

I'm going to say something contraversial here. I'm not sure how Elijah and Harry could be sitting there watching this debacle and not be squirming in their seats. We all face hardship, harden up and get out there to help. I wish I was on $800,000 per year because I front up every day for a fraction of that, no matter what.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Culture. We stand for NOTHING anymore

Sad but true.

Take me back .. to the 80s..
