Midfield effort Pathetic

[murphster]

Pathetic Pathetic Pathetic, after todays capitulation especially in the midfield which has been smashed for the second week in a row and which has now taken over from the defence as our weak link, maybe we can move Lance there to fill that hole now ha ha, some of our young players like Bentick, Carrazzo and even Simpson look like they could use a run in the Bullants side to get there confidence back by playing in a winning side, should bring in Blackwell, Longmuir, Bower and maybe even a couple of others for next week. Sick of talking about the efforts of Stevens, Scotland and now Lappin in the hardball stakes, they need a big wake up call in regards to winning there own ball.

No arguments from me, perhaps the worst second half by any side in AFL history. Leaves a sick feeling in your stomach.

Id like to see saddo, bentick, betts have a run for bullants at least

Don't single out the mid-field. Everyone was hopeless in the second half...bar Big Red

Could Stevens potentially lay a tackle?

Those stats are irrelevant. It's the way they go about their footy. Always standing back never willing to get their hands dirty and put their heads over the ball.

When Saddington squibbed that marking contest it made me absolutely furious. How that guy is getting a game ahead of Livingston I will never know. At least with Livo you know what you are getting, an honest battler who will keep on his man for the entire game.

That's another good point. We would have to be the most -week tackling team going around. Whilst our tackling stats are pathetic it also fails to point out that more than half of those didn't stick either. What is even more laughable is we have arguably one of the best exponents of this skill as an assitant coach and he hasn't taught them anything.

He had 4.

 

[XXX KINGS]

So they should be they are suppose to be senior players and lead by example and if the young players follow there example we are in big trouble, we have 1 leader at Carlton and he can not play everywhere, Scotland sits at halfback and collects easy stats, and the worst part is that in an article on the weekend Scotland said that Dennis was very happy with his efforts, i mean Fuuck what is going on, Stevens who was touted as our next Captain can't tackle can't chase only wins the ball when he doesn't have to move more than 2 metres to get it, it's a joke, Houlihan is better this year but still gets to many easy touches and shows no leadership in chasing and tackling and Lappin and Scotlands attempted tackle on Leon Davis in the third term was laughable and started the rot that ended the game, i mean for fuuck sake somebody other than Lance needs to stand up and say i am a leader follow me, it is no coincidence that our backline is performing better than any where else as it has a leader, go into the midfield and it is a rudderless ship with every man for himself and none of them taking responsibility for there opponent.
