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

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

It’s going to get so much worse for us over the next several weeks. Melbourne and Norf over the last two weeks were our best hopes to get a win before towards the end of May (Port) and we lost both. We are a 3 or 4 win team this year.
Yep will lose the next 7 on exposed form & ability, 1-10 is hard to keep your faith, belief, job etc…

We are going to eventually reach “only need one pick for Cody” territory.

Love this clubs standards. :(

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.
Where’s the humility?
 
Oh yeh was just talking the last few minutes. I could do a thesis on the full game
If we didn't know any better you would've thought that this was gonna be North's day they way it was built up and the umpires wanted the same outcome.
Just the way it looked from the get go. North supporters were very vocal and up and about. Blues supporters on the other hand were meh.. Very flat.
 
100 percent.

Been saying this for a little while now, I just don’t get why they do this every single game. Once that ball is in a bit of space off a stoppage we are ****ed.

Ainsworth could Surely do some, shit I’d even give Byrne a burst in there but it’s becoming embarrassing. Cripps didn’t give up on the LDU chase he just couldn’t catch him.

I don’t think I can even watch this team against the actual good sides, it’s going to be a nightmare.

Yeah the Sydney game will be the template. 12 goal quarters against.

Bringing Cerra in had the exact effect we all thought it would. Made us even slower in the middle. Took midfield minutes away from Walsh and Jagga. Madness.

This is when it gets super frustrating - when literally every supporter can see this happening in advance yet Voss does it anyway.

He's not getting sacked because the players have let him down... blah blah. It's because he is legitimately the worst coach in the league.
 
The other 17 clubs must laugh at us.
Don’t worry , when the whips are cracking the Blues will show humility…**** that.
I want ruthlessness and arrogance to be put back into our psyche.
Enough of this new age bullshit

Special mention to Pitto... we need a new ruckman.

Lovely bloke pitto and tries hard for a bloke not all that talented but he couldn't even put their backups to the sword.

39 hitouts but we lost centre clearances. Only 11 disposals. 1 mark for the whole game. 2 extremely lucky free kicks for goals.

He'd be a great backup ruckman at any other club. He's our number 1. Needed him to stand up in that last quarter - he's got a huge physical advantage and he just had no impact.
 
Quite the paradox.

On the one hand, I can’t believe we’ve capitulated like that again.

On the other, it makes perfect sense that we’ve capitulated again.

I’m just about at a loss for words for this club anymore.

The slow circle work 1-2 combo of Cripps and Hewett doesn't work anymore.

Run someone, anyone else through there. We'd instantly have a more dynamic midfield.
 
I cant understand anyone bothering to critise or individualise players. Not that its not warranted at this point in time. It has got to the stage where EVERY single player does some horrible stuff that is worth critisizing.

But therein lies the story. It is EVERY player. This is a coach issue. And unfortunately this list is now broken.

From dual Brownlow medalist Cripps, to 2 Coleman Medallists McKay & Curnow. To All Australians Weitering,Walsh, Saad. To solid experience from other Clubs. To bustproof young experienced talent Cerra, Hayward. To ALL young players. To all journeymen.

They are all completely uncoached. Completely uncoached. We can all see it week after week. No improvement. The effort is often there, sometimes not, but they are all broken.

Our last few years were not a list issue, it has been a Voss issue. It is NOW a list issue because they are fully broken. From the top players to bottom players.

It is what it is.

The club simply must halt it now and attempt repair.
Now means Monday.
 
I really don't know how Voss is still there.

It's gut wrenching humiliation for everyone supporting the club who really care. Yet the powers that be are just sleepwalking through it.

I'm sorry but GW you got it wrong retaining him in the offseason. I know it's a blow to your own ego to admit that but that won't change the reality.

Waiting yet more weeks and months achieves nothing.

We smashed them for hitouts to advantage. The ruck was not the issue when it came to clearances it was the midfield around him. Actually thought he had a massive impact but let down by Cripps/Hewett mainly.

The modern game has left Cripps, Hewett and Cerra (post hamstring injuries) behind. If you’re that slow, you need to have elite disposal and damage factor to make up for it, which none have.

Jagga, Walsh, Cody next season will be a good start. Just don’t know what to do with the other three, don’t believe there’s a market for them and Cerra just got given a 5 year deal…
 
This whole spin that we sack coaches… we gave Pagan 5 seasons, Ratten 5 (shouldn’t have been sacked), Bolton 4 and now Voss 5 and that’s sufficient. Mick and Teague were an absolute cluster faaaark and everyone knew they needed to be purged.

When you have players looking to want to be demoted to VFL then the coach is cooked. Instead of analysing the game this week the coaches need to sit and analyse themselves.
