We were shit mostly.

Jezza kicked 4 I think but was lamentable.

Atkins, Zuthrie, BLitz, SDK, COS, Humphries can hold their heads up high. No issues there.

The rest - need work and a longer time on the training track.

Skills were deplorable basically all game long.

Got belted in the guts too often.

Wont be a good review with a lot to be said I reckon.

Lick the wounds and move on as Pies are 6 days away.

BLues had their GF today.. good on them.

Reckon Stewy is barely 60% right.

Carlton were better than us today, not that that is saying much. It’s no excuse but we defs looked tired and they looked like they just played the 2 easiest teams in the comp. Need to freshen up and come out sharp and knock the pies off. We can do it. Umps were ordinary today but it’s not why we lost. Onwards cats- no easy games ahead so we need to win some of them.
 
Disappointing. Think Carlton play their GF against us every year, exactly like the saints, just seems those 2 teams turn into something else against us. Calm under pressure, no fumbles, hit targets, tackle, convert when needed, so frustrating.

We were completely poor all game and go down by only 3 goals. Reset and go again next week against the benchmark in the AFL, give us about a 25% chance against the Pies next week.
 
The blues really needed the umpires to step up when it got close. The blues deserve the win, but it’s a shame we couldn’t have balanced umpiring to see the exciting finish. The upside is that the cats couldn’t play worse, but they made a game of it in the end.
The umpiring was shit but I thought it would be after scott had a bit of a go at the AFL at his media presser this week.
He did last year or the year before with something as well and we got screwed for ages.
 
Yes, the umpires were putrid, but that was out of our control.

Two other things that we COULD control were our disposal and workrate/intensity, and both of these were lacking for 85% of the game. You're not going to win many games of footy if that happens.

Disposal and decision making absolutely woeful all game. At least the intensity finally arrived after 3/4.

Clark, Neale and Mullin aren’t AFL players I’m afraid.
Don't worry, we've got Neale for 3 more seasons and I'm quite sure the MC will rightly back him in to continue developing over the coming years
 
Atkins laid 20% of our tackles
Add Mannagh and it’s 37%
Add Smith it’s 50%

That’s putrid

The rest who tried to lay tackles couldn’t stick one to save themselves. Our tackles were woeful today, let Carlton get away or hands free way to often.
 
2 free kicks in a f*cking half of football. Bowes knocked out in mid air with no touch on the football from Haynes. Weitering holding on to Danger and then slinging him to the ground. Neale getting the free against when Weitering got him high. Holding the ball no matter what we did, but they could get swung around in a Tony Hawk 900, drag it in, take on the tackler, and do whatever the f*ck they wanted, and we were not given a holding the ball decision.

Honestly. That is corruption right there. I don't know what the result would have been, but we were 10-1 in clearances, and they were shitting themselves. Free kick count of 20-11, and 12 to them to our 2 despite us having 3 less tackles for the match.

Go f*ck yourself umpires and Carlton. I'm so f*cking furious.
