Voss bad game plan and should teach players how to kick and handball and tackle moooooore

sack!

PS I call BS on VOss has lost players they actually tried that was the funnysad part- the team is slower and les skilled and less experienced than Brisbane BIG SURPRISE!
Voss admitted in his press conference that we haven’t done enough work on skills!
 
There are a few positives - Cowan, HOF and Moir.
Moir is coming along nicely, unless you listen to the nuffies. He still has some things to work on but he is going to be a good partner with Cody in the middle in the future. As for his goal kicking tonight, the whole team had the yips. A massive amount of the yips. He was kicking them out of his arse in the VFL.
 
It's not too disappointing when you have no expectations of anything prior to the game.

The players need to show some semblance of pride and professionalism in the remaining games now.

Just hope and pray that the Pies don't win the flag and with the right changes on and off field, we'll hopefully rebound again in 2026.

Well based off that interview, Lemmey will not be coming in next week or in the near future.

The amount of times he mentions us being short of talls and that's why TDK is being played forward, speaks alot of the chances
Did he really say that??? FMD!!!

We had an SSP AND midseason draft where there were mature age talls for the picking right under our hooters. But we end up taking 3 small forwards, of which 2 are running around in the magoos and the other making little impact in the seniors.

We had BF posters just screaming to get another tall in one of the drafts for this exact scenario, but somehow our brains trust saw otherwise and of course now we're left plugging holes.

Sorry Vossy, that is all on your shoulders, so don't go moaning to the Carlton faithful about being forced to play TDK forward when you've had ample opportunities to address it. I'm starting to completely lose faith with this bloke, just another nail in the coffin.

Every single game since the Norf game has played out basically exactly the same.

We are living in the very definition of insanity and no one in this club has the gonads to make the changes necessary.

Only watched the first quarter. None last week. I won’t bother for the rest of the year, since the players have stopped playing for the coach 4 weeks ago when finals were still a chance. Disgrace!

I did look at the stats though. Is Charlie Curnow going for a world record of games without a goal for former Coleman medalists?

Flogging a dead horse after 2 years of Voss is a good coach crud.

C'mon, even if he is a good coach, he has failed this time and is accountable for Carlton in its current position.

Give us Voss' top ten coaching traits you like given how vehement you are. You wont do that because you'd rather continue to cut others down on minor points.
 
It takes 15 minutes for the senior players to warm up.
I50s we couldn’t hit a barn door. When we did, OMG.
We are in positions, zone wise, to defend but a lack of foot speed and tackle intent allowed too many burst opportunities.
Loving the youth bringing a different energy, couldn’t care less if they make a mistake. Better to see that than a senior core who can’t bend down to tie their own shoe laces.
Pitto u legend.
Cowan looks refreshed and ready for the Tassie captaincy.
Moir is the watch, just really excited about this one, has what you can’t teach. Frothing.
It’s pretty obvious that sides are running off our slower players and exploiting a 50% TDK.
Really hoping Lemmey can step up, has all the tools and can kick straight.
Oh! and to the umpires…it’s really not that hard, there are 4 of you. Be professionals.

Legend has it that is also how long it takes for Patrick Cripps to walk from the huddle to the centre square for the toss of the coin.

I get that to a certain extent..but there are basics that players should be able to do like set shots from 30m out directly in front, or 20m passes when there is no pressure on.

Over the last few weeks especially I've noticed that we don't have anyone at the fall of the ball, and the opposition carve us up with minimal pressure.

These are basics things that players know how to do, and should be doing, but for whatever reason, they aren't.

Yep. Well said.

People in here saying effort was okay and positives etc. That's okay. It depends on your expectations and what you want from your club

I struggle with it. For me it's about winning Flags and being an on field powerhouse.

We have gone backwards so quickly it's alarming. The players and coaches have no answers. This cannot continue

The Coaches and Players are to blame but the biggest thing that Wright needs to change is our Culture and Standards. When performances like last few weeks are accepted then you are just a poor organisation that will go nowhere.

I have worked with elite athletes for over 40 years.

There is one thing that never changes. If you have no trust in what you do the basics fall away and quickly. Even worse in a team sport. It's like a disease
 
I'm amongst the many people that have been saying that for some time.

The problem is we already have a ton of slow midfielders, and they're all bigger, faster, and better at the inside role than he is.
Motlop recorded the fastest speed of any player on the ground last night. He’s become a whipping boy but I think he’s playing in the hardest position on the ground in a team with the worst inside 50’s of any club. Think we have to persist with him as a forward.

I don’t think the isolated footage of TDK will be particularly good viewing. He looked he was having a jog at training.

Was also pretty disappointing hearing the Brisbane supporters drown us out. Deflating.
 
The highlight of my night was seeing Mike Fitzpatrick deliberately park his Tesla across two spots in the Medallion Club car park - then grin and offer to sign an autograph when some random bloke had the guts to call him out on it. Hilarious 🤣
Acts like he still owns the joint.
 
Were you watching?

He was better this game.

A few skill errors but competed well.
Curnow worked his arse off. Led strongly up the ground and took quite a few contested marks. But absolutely no confidence at all kicking for goals which is strange to see from a Coleman Medallist.
 
I turned off before the first quarter siren.

Our players, especially the leaders are selfish. Take the team option! Play like a team not a bunch of individuals!

Almost all in self preservation mode, it's disgusting...

FFS
From my level 2 viewpoint (bench side) I was shocked the amount of times senior players deliberately didn’t use a younger player to instead kick or handball to a more senior teammate in a worse/vulnerable position

Kickouts we burnt the kick to the pocket option about 6 times in order to hit the same long pass to the wing.

This would be fine if we actually had numbers and/or tall players in position to mark the damn ball!!
