Pretty miserable night.

Carlton looked woeful when it counted. The mistakes really show how young the players are. Same vs Adelaide, and same for a quarter and a half against WCE. Doesnt look good for the next little bit.

I have no confidence at all for the Freo game!
 
Looks like we have another defender out. Thornton, Walker and Jamison out now. How much of a difference does that make?

I hope Jamo's shoulder comes up.

Anyone due back next week? I fear not.

My god, Brown carves up Waite, then Jamo goes off after slaughtering Bradshaw and now Bradshaw starts getting plenty of opportunities on Waite.

Waite has lost the plot one on one.
 
36 points. I said to the missus midway through the 2nd quarter i bet the end margin is about 37 points, an even contest for 3 quarters and basically be our first quarter that cost us...looks like i was right. how many times have we been let down by 1 quarter of football?!
 
not a bad second half. it was that nasty first quarter that killed the game off. murphs a little gem, fev got better, and eddie tried his best to lift us. another summer and we should see greater improvement from these young football bodies.
 
I wish people would leave Wiggins out of the criticism. Hardest player we have out there tonight, make that tackle stick and two goals.

Have to agree with this. If the more talented forwards on our list like Fisher, Edwards, even Hartlett, demonstrated the hardness that Wiggins does, our forward line would put fear into most clubs. I certainly take my hat off to Wiggins tonight.

already looking fwd to next year ey? :p
 
yes and no, just looking at the younger brisbane players like good ol' shermo, even he has a bit of beef on his frame. the lion cubs i suppose you could call them were a bit bigger in the body than some of our lads.

though fev has enough muscle on his chin, we could transplant some to some of our young brigade. :rolleyes:

Our up and coming but inexperienced coach cost us tonight V's one of the best.
It was so important we get off to a good start but again Ratten leaves Brisbanes forward line wide open and with room to move they cut us up and pretty much hold that lead for the night.
Brown must have been laughing at how much room he had to move in.
He sets up more defensively in the second quarter with a player back as we should have been from the opening bounce and we break even suprise surprise.
Too late she cried. Until we are a far morer accomplisehed experienced side he has to be more defensive in his back half as our young blokes and a few of our players who aren't quite up to it are turning it over through the middle and we need that extra cover.
He's learning the hard way and cost us a chance at victory tonight.

I think Bannister is due back next week. Hopefully Jamo holds up okay. It really is the last thing we need.
 
Was in South Korea for this one, was in Brussels for the west coast - hang on no I wasn't - anyway - this sucks.

Brisbane are good - no need to fret, we have far to many injuries at the moment - spoke to someone today who confirmed that we have been treating our injured players with contempt. Injections and put out to play when they ABSOLUTELY need to be operated on and rested......

No Names but strawberry pancackes ......

Anyway - when we make the finals ;) , we will have a lot of players on fire - Walker will be returning to form, as will our main on ballers,
ㄴㄴㅇ라ㅣㅣ라ㅏㅐㅣㅣ너ㅓㅓㅏ -, sorry went into Korean, any way, Stevens and Judd are not even fit yet.......

No big deal -

Off to the North Korea Border - wish I had my carlton top.....
 
BTW I reckon Heath Scotland played just about the worst 39 possie game in the history of footy (or the worst I've seen in ages) ..

He gets the pill very cheaply mopping up on the outside (lets face it, he never puts his body on the line) and then, he turns it over ..
I would like to see how many clangers and/or ineffective disposals he had tonight.
He might have gotten a lot of the ball tonight, but I was really livid with him, he just cost us too many times, with too many turnovers.
I prefer our players to use the ball with QUALITY, not QUANTITY ..
 
BTW WIth so many injuries to our backman, and how crap Ackland is, I say it's damn time we brought it AISAKE O'Halipin ..

Heck we couldn't do any worse right now, and I am convinced he is going to be a far more talented player then Setanta ..
