Autopsy Blues down by 57 points after woeful first half

[inyourcool]

We can claim the talent is there but in reality we need to still bring in loads of talent.

Being 10 men about not needing priority picks is not the best for our long term future

I worry about our midfield setups, they just seem really poor. So often caught on the wrong side of the contest.

Yep I think it's either this, or a lack of mids who can run. Or both. It's a major reason we get scored so heavily against and contributes to us turning the ball over in the middle too much.

Kreuzer beaten quite soundly. Sandi just did what he wanted. Pretty sure I saw Kreuz jumping and Sandi standing flat footed and still winning the taps.

I thought Lachie O'Brien wasnt bad today.

Thats all i got.

 

[La Dispute]

I'm open to the idea we've gone about the rebuild in the wrong way

The squad lacks experience, are pretty incompetent and are completely devoid of confidence.

By the time our list build is 'complete' the whole landscape will have changed again and we're going to have to re-adapt which might have made trading heavily into the draft redundant anyway.

We are not in a good way.

I said in the game day thread. Was at the game with my 15 year old daughter who said ‘Freo players are so much bigger !!’ We are so light and small compared to these other sides.

That second half didn't suit the media's agenda.

Poor first half obviously, fought the game out. Great to see some show of support from those fans.

No good dwelling on the negatives.

I’m just going to list the positives.

 

[bigm386]

I missed the game. Was in an escape room. (Was really fun)

Got out at 3 and saw the score. Sad.

 

[La Dispute]

Get the priority pick, use it to trade for a gun mid.

Turning that option down is ridiculous

Wont get a gun mid but a decent player in the right age range is a must

 

[Wily trout]

Jack looked alright at times in the middle and through traffic, should persist.

 

[passmark]

Freo had a younger and less experienced side, no excuses for this one

They have better players, particularly thier mids.
They are fitter and have better skills.

Our turn overs get turned into goals and just suck the bloody life out of us. It's a double impact.

Ive seen it in every game we've had bad losses.

Well done for fighting it out.

As soon as Cripps or Curnow get the ball, they handball it to another slow mid that is standing flat footed. Where are Fish and Samo?

 

[cfc4life]

Second half worth nothing, steam was out of the contest.

Cripps, Krooz, Jones, Simmo and Kedge stood up.

Everyone else can get stuffed. Show some heart.

Won't win another game for the year on current form.

 

[95bluemember]

Thats what diehard supporters do .

sheeple.

 

[bluebrew]

Have been saying it all year Something is very very wrong inside our club it won't change until the prez and current admin are gone including coach.

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Let’s not sugar coat the 2nd half; the horse had long bolted. The game itself was over at quarter time. Call it as it was: a spiritless, gutless performance. Skill level was deplorable...but the lack of effort hurt the most. Wipe that from the memory bank; and any perceived positives from the game are tokenism.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Cerra and Brayshaw made our third year players look like ressies.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Jack looked alright at times in the middle and through traffic, should persist.

Jack also laid 5 tackles

Kreuzer beaten quite soundly. Sandi just did what he wanted. Pretty sure I saw Kreuz jumping and Sandi standing flat footed and still winning the taps.

He might of neen beaten , didn't stop him from trying , was one of our best today with Crippa & Simmo .

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

What to do next week....

So many possible players could (should) go out.

Rowe, Lang, Graham, Kerr,


I really hope the boys in the VFL really rip it up tomorrow. Could do with seeing Pickett, Kennedy, Garlett, Polson etc pushing for selection

 

[PP34]

Disgusting. One of the worst losses I’ve ever seen in my time following Carlton.

We didn’t lose by 100 plus points but when you take into account context it’s absolutely terrible.

Haven’t felt this disillusioned about the club since the loss we had against Brisbane that got Pagan sacked.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Cripps great as always, but 1 tackle?

 

[Cliffords Blues]

Just have to stay positive, support the boys and the club and believe we are heading in the right direction.
Battles will be lost, as long as we win the war.

 

[cfc4life]

Also wanna make special mention of Darcy Lang, he was absolutely disgraceful, was jogging on the spot for most of the game.

List management is still a worry.
