Autopsy 2026 Rd 4 Carlton vs North Melbourne: What is this sport anymore?

[Accidental genius]

Haywards two late infringements ...what the **** is he thinking..

not only that but he isnt delivering like i thought he might..

He was good/much better at swans

 

[windows1]

How does a team with no ruckman dominate the clearances?

It was literally rinse repeat of last week's fourth term.

Please GW and co, change something now, please.

They just continue to go so slow on ball. None of our mids can chase anyone. None. It’s easily easily the biggest problem problem.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Only way I can see Crippa prolonging his career is a move to KPD. Just can’t see a role for him otherwise

 

[Soapy V]

He doesnt speak like that to the players, that much is for sure.

I’ve sat in on a few. He does

 

[PumpyChowdown]

**** this team and **** this club.

I thought putting Elijah into the midfield highlighted this. IMO made a difference

 

[thegreatbeast]

Voss at the press conference: “whaddya expect me to do?? our players are crap re”

Didn't realise Voss was short for Vossopoulos!

 

[KnaveyBlue]

We need to own it and get to work on it. We need to think about that transfer and what our brand is. We want to play our way, and need to be present in the moment. We can't defeat ourself culturally, and have to put ourselves in better positions. Get our processes right and really celebrate the wins and stay connected. Execute for longer - because that's us. We know where the growth needs to come from, and it's from those finer margins. We'll have those conversations, but it has to come from actions. Accept responsibility and show our energy and reflect our environment. Get those winning behaviours and look at the bigger picture when we're challenged. Let's all just be aligned and take responsibility and I think I'm going to kill myself, I can't watch our post game presser.

 

[Drexl 31]

give Voss a 5 year extension and Hayward 9.

 

[BlueTongue]

Voss and Cripps ahould both stand down tonight. Cripps was woeful, ruined multiple chains and cant be arsed chasing at all

unfortunately i have to agree. He continues to try doing the heroic things, burning teammates instead of taking the first option, then getting caught because he is painfully slow. he is just not Captain material atm. the problem is, who is? Walsh is just as guilty of trying to doit all himself, so more of the same there.
Weitering is just as bad. I dont know why he continues to selfishly run 80 Metres up the ground to intercept a nothing ball and leave the back arc totally exposed. he is not capable of getting back as he is the slowest most lumbering player in the league. He should nor be allowed to leave the square past 30m. Our supposed experienced leaders are the ones burning as atm.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

7 goals to 2 in the fourth against a genuine spoon contender. Possibly one of our most impressive chokes in recent memory.

Think that's me done for the year. Good sides are going to bury us, and poor sides are going to Bradbury us as we fall in a heap all on our own. Zero enjoyment in watching this team at the moment. Only points of interest are kids in peripheral roles busting their arses for <10 touches a game that cannot in any way make up for the shit that their senior leaders are putting up.

Joke of a team, joke of a club, just an absolute shambles with no heart and no spine.

Nah last week felt much worse for me.

They tried so hard - feel for the guys.

Umps crappy little touchy frees, missing clear frees to us - the interference to McKay not given & last touch OOB a case in point.

Stupid touchy umpiring all day.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Oh and I forgot **** you Garry Lyon!

Don't be mad at him, St Kilda let him down by not showing up.

 

[Blue Heart]

The standards at Carlton are ****ed anyway. Darling is an absolute spud and looked like a millionaire today. Voss can't coach. We have 10 years of data and the story aint pretty.


The man we need is an assistant at Geelong.

EDIT, yes we should have recruited some experienced winners I agree.You are 100% correct

Would you be talking about Nigel Lappin ? If rumours were right, GW did try to prize him away from the Cats over the off season.

 

[The Sultan]

Spend the day cleaning a house that had probably not been cleaned properly in 5 years… sound like that was more enjoyable than going to the footy

 

[carlton_99]

Please eliminate all CBA combinations that have Cripps and Hewett together. One of them in there at a time. This shouldn't be groundbreaking stuff.

CBAs today (non-rucks):
Cripps - 25
Hewett - 23
Cerra - 22
Walsh - 13
Smith - 7

So many problems with this but the two main ones:

1. Cripps and Hewett individually having more CBAs than Walsh and Smith combined. This just cannot happen. And we wonder why we get killed on the outside.
2. Only five non-rucks received CBAs despite us getting beaten on the outside continually. Please expand the rotation.

 

[Blue since 72]

I haven't watched any of Voss's pressers and will not be.
Interested in what neutral supporters though of the umpiring.
I don't think I can do this anymore. It's bad for my mental health.

I rarely put it on the umpires but they were a disgrace today and not just to us. They should be ashamed of that performance.

 

[passmark]

Surely Ainsworth is a better option running through the middle than some of our slower mids.
Maybe running off half back?

He’s wasted lost as a hff

NB

 

[sherb]

Were Hayward and Florent this bad at Sydney or have we Carltonised them in 4 games?

We weee shit but the umps were worse.

I'll take (b) please Ed.

To me, they were handy pickups.

However, they've been afflicted by the Blue Virus. In seemingly record time too.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Florent was playing reserves & Hayward is only a bits player. Long contracts and need to perform better.

facile... he played like 240 games in a row for them....he was 100% a starting 22 player until Cox took over...

As a long term victim of corporate gobbledygook this passage triggers me bad.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I’d say “play the kids”…but do we have any decent kids?

Only one way to find out isn't there...

Voss won't do that though, he's coaching for his life

 

[Blues_Man]

If we finish last, do we get the first two draft picks ? Asking for a friend

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

im sorry cripps shouldnt be a centre bounce midfielder anymore. Fumbly gets killed on the spread and isnt damaging enough. Love ya crippa but the game has changed and father time is catching up

You won't need to watch it, guaranteed you've summarised it perfectly
