Just sad we lose by 50 points for Judd's 100th game.

We are in so much trouble.
No, really, we are, I think its time we admitted it as a group..
We are. We are. We are.
How much diff will a new coach make - the right one will but how many of our players are going to still not be up to it?
We will at the very least have to find him a keyforward to replace Waite (have not been able to rely on him for a long time now)
Are we prepared to be patient and not see Juddy's time clock as our window?
If not we definitely have to get a proven coach and trade fiercely. Remembering that you have to give something to get something. We have some first rounders who are never going to be match winners in a GF. Personally I would be interested in what we could get fork Gibbs or Yarran
With some of our back up keyforwards for next year like Rowe and Levi big enough to do a Roughead, we definitely do not have to keep 3 rucks
At the same time I hope we go back to basics in selection for the rest of the season. It is good to blood kids when they are ready but we have to know the answer about JR for eg. I think he could be almost as good as Gibbsy for us as a HBF and so with him finding a little form last week and the posn we are in now - let's just settle him in there for the rest of the season (we are not going to get much for him and I don't want him going off and being a every gamer for some one else) Collins should have and should be in the team for the rest of the year. Sheez the way Clarkson has got some of his average backmen going I am even afraid Bower will go somewhere else and become a regular
Hard to rant when you feel this flat
Hawthorn's midfield was so cool and clean (and with a forward line to kick to) that I feel disheartened
Scotty is older than Juddy, another shocker from Walks (I don't care how many possies he had) but maybe a new coach might make him a good 3rd forward again
Cue conspiracy theory.
That's what happens when you get Ross Lyin as a coach and he plays his favorites over much better players. Sadly its an affinity our coach shares and a part of the reason why he's going to be out the door.
Positives
-Loved Judds game.
-Joseph did well on rioli.
-Watson was great, and i loved him taking kick ins.
Negatives
-Watching a string of 4 or 5 carlton players bust their gut to get the ball to garlett, whos running into an open goal, just to see him miss...how many times can this happen before those 4 or 5 players think whats the point? Young Dale clearly deserves an opportunity.
-If ratten was at the VFL game he wasnt watching...Bootsma has a great kick but watching him get pushed of the ball like a 6 year old is sad...Mcinnes had an awesome game, has much more size and strength and never would have lost that contest.
-Russell also had a great VFL game and I dont understand why he cant play Gibbs' role so he can push into the midfield....it is such a waste of a #1 pick.
This just goes to show how clueless Brett Ratten is (lifted from the carltonfc.com.au)
Carlton coach Brett Ratten said that despite the disappointment of such a heavy loss, he could see some indications the Blues were nearing a return to form.
"It might take another week, it might take two weeks," Ratten said after the game.
"I don't know when it's coming, but there has been signs to show in the last three weeks that we can do some good things in games, but our inconsistency in the games is really hurting us."
Enough is enough! The buck stops with Ratten! Thanks for the 5 years of coaching it's time the club and coach part way so we can bring someone in who at least has the ability to bring out the best in our players.
"Those things are frustrating and I thought early doors we conceded some easy goals when it was just kicked in to two on three, we just sagged and dropped off our opponents and allowed them access. That probably opened up a bit of a gap (on the scoreboard) which gave them some confidence to do what they wanted.''
How can 22 professional footballers and a coaching panel not realise that someone needs to be on the goal line in this situation. At least once (maybe twice) in our forward 50 we got quick low kicks from a stoppage and both times hawthorn had someone on the line ready for them. Just makes us look like amatuer hour.
games is over. game day thread is over. It is the usual practice. But re-read for some pearler comments by complete idiotsNot sure why the gameday thead was locked...unecessary IMO.
The so obvious it doesn't really merit comment take on tonight was the amount of uncontested ball we allowed Hawthorn forward of centre. Their inside 50's were essentially a choose your own adventure, whereas ours were the painfully familiar bombs to the pocket.
High hopes for Boots but he often finds himself flat footed and ball watching in no mans land just off the pack...plenty of time and all, but this is one fault that has stood out in each of his handful of appearances.
we did beat the Pies-just a minor pointIf we plan on sticking with Ratts in 2013 he needs to be given that directive sooner rather than later. The season is shot and we need to plan for next season.
Basically everything has gone wrong for us this season but, we have a great core group. With the right planning and structure we can bounce right back next season.
- Offer Warnock up for trade at years end, he's a good tap ruckman but that's it really.
- We may as well get Kreuzer and Jamo's body right for next year. This enables us to play Hampson in the ruck where he should be played.
- Play Collins, Lucas, Dale, Bower, Kerr and Davies when back from injury to see which are worth hanging on to. (not all at once obviously)
- McCarthy and Mitchell should be given opportunities in the seniors, the reserves are a rabble and to be honest can't be any worse than our current plan of "bomb it long to Hampson"
- It's supposedly a bumper draft so we should make as much list space as we can and upgrade our picks if possible.
It seems forever ago.... what happened to that teamwe did beat the Pies-just a minor point
