Autopsy Rd 3 vs Swans. 19 point loss

[FlowersByIrene]

Goodbye forever Polson

Why the **** was he ever in the team. Bloke can't pick up the football cleanly to save his life

 

[HARKER]

Goodbye forever Polson

Easy to say, but there's no one else right now.

8 possessions (Polson 4 & Gibbons 4) and not a point between them, but we don't need small forwards.

Let's get real.

Next week is an absolute crunch game. We’ve improved, but the improvement will eventually need to show on the scroreboard.

Walsh and Cripps. If we become a half decent side, they’re going to drag us across the line plenty of times.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Geez the stats say it all. We won the clearances. Sucked with disposal efficiency. Can’t take marks inside 50. Uncontested possessions nowhere near that of the Swans.

And embarrassingly, despite seeing crap umpiring decisions, we actually had more free kicks than them.

WTF is with our players not giving 100% each week? Too many believing their own hype??

So proud we fought it out . Still freaking gutted ..

Another tough loss. Very frustrating.

Absolutely dominated the last but inside 50s were terrible as were our small forwards.

Also sick of being owned in the ruck EVERY week.

 

[cfc4life]

If we added up our good quarters this year we'd almost have a full game.

Just terrible coaching, terrible disposal. We played right into the Swans hands.

Crippa tried his heart out, as did Jones.

Ed turned it around as a forward.

Harry had an almost game, just wait till he puts it all together.

Thought Lobbe was decent.

Samo stepped up when we needed him.

Gibbons and Polson are not AFL standard. Drop.

Dow and Fisher were very bad.

We'll lose to the Suns.

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Might as well copy and paste from last 2 weeks autopsies. Lack of ability to play 4 quarters counts. This however was a bit different: rationally we should have won this game from the outset. Below par performance from too many when expectations are higher. Not good enough.

 

[DJMacca]

bah...over losing...in fact long over it

 

[CFC18]

Heat will come on Bolton and so it should, Cripps the only thing stopping us from being a complete basket case.

 

[Dramoth]

It's getting bloody hard to watch AFL these days....Umpire interpretation is destroying it.

There should be no interpretation of the rules. Umpiring is a ****ing joke these days. They need to make them professionals and rigidly enforce a code of ethics. What's a free to one umpire isn't a free kick to another umpire. If you are going to do that, the umpires need to sit down with the coaches before the start of a game and work out what rules are going to be applied to a game.

We are a professional league with amateurs who make up the rules as they go along. Point in case, Harry gets tunneled at our end, the ball goes up the other end, Plowman spoils the ball, and Heeney gets paid a free kick for nothing. And that's just one instance.

 

[Boy with chook]

Umpires gifted that to the swans

Yep those 3 or 4 goals they got from soft frees...

 

[Snoozer]

Only 19 points. Pretty good effort.

We still lack the smarts. And unfortunately it seems they are not being coached this either

 

[Benaly28]

OUTolson,Gibbons,Lobbe,Lob,Levi

IN:Kennedy,Jsos,Kreuzer,Kerr,any small forward!

 

[jj1978]

Dow can’t play more than a half.. can’t kick.
Murphy chooses not to go in for the hard stuff.
We have the worst ruck division in the comp (always injured as well).
Another 2 mediocre quarters.
Gibbons, LOB, did nothing.
Simpson cooked.

Out: Gibbons, LOB
In: Kennedy, Sos

Basically we have to start asking when will we get better. Today for me we lost it at the selection table.

Lobbe and O'Brien should have not been brought in. Lobbe got absolutely pantsed could hardly move. Keep telling me we don't need a ruckman. Same shit last year we had NOONE our ruck stocks are far too injury prone.

O'Brien is in no way ready for AFL.

Loved Jones and Weiters down back. Levi deserves a game before McGovern was good today. Obviously Cripps and Walsh huge.

Gibbons has to be dropped or played as a mid. He isn't a forward. The fact that has taken our coaches 5 games to figure out is getting very sad.

Honestly starting to question Bolton. Our list isn't that bad and we just are stuck in neutral

 

[GoBlues!]

Too many passengers

Not enough drivers.

 

[SolGoodman]

At times multiple losses like this feel like they hurt more than blow outs... Too wasteful in the 4th, so unlucky with our injuries too.

Our ruck stocks problem is giving every opposition's ruckman almost best on every game.

Polson Out (forever)
Gibbons out
LOB out

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Why are our fwd 50 entries so appalling?
This has been going on for 2+ seasons.
Why hasn’t this been addressed?

There’s either a disconnect between the players and the coaching staff, or a disconnect between the coaches themselves.
Something is not right.

 

[gunslingr]

3 weeks in a row we have control of a game and the opposition coach makes adjustments and we are left scratching our heads.

We have more than enough talent on the field we just don’t have a coach who knows what he is doing. 3 wins from 35 matches, enough said.

Wait, we had control of the game at some point?

Match commitee are in a bind now, they went with LoB which I didn’t mind...but they can’t drop him and butcher his confidence must stick with him now. Gibbons can’t play next week.
Not playing Kennedy was a poor decision

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

And FFS Bolton, either play Gibbons in the middle or drop him. Three weeks of nothing.

Kennedy has to come in.

Fisher needs a week in the 2s because he’s not doing team things.

 

[M_I_G]

can someone add a vote to fisher for me. will have his knockers but he showed enough
