I for one am proud today!

Massive fight back from a very low day after the first quarter..

Played with one on the bench for a while.

If Thompson had been paid that free we were a big chance, maggots decided to help the Carlton flogs as they did all day.

We will be stronger for this performance, here is your time Lewis...
 
fair call but lets be honest we were a rabble for 2 and a half qtrs. carlton took the foot off the gas a bit and we got a run on, but good to see we didn't roll over.

Nothing to be proud off, Carlton took the peddle off and when the pressure was off the Crows with the game lost suddenly the usual suspects pop up and have a crack, just like last year against the Hawks, Crows given no chance and then suddenly all the pea hearts have a crack under no pressure.
 
Do you mean the same kind of proud as when your 4 year old draws a stick-figure picture of you? Then, yeah...
 
How do you feel about the first three quarters? When the game was there to be won we were woeful.

I'm kind of sick of these 'proud' losses where we put on a little burst after the heat's out of the game and delude ourselves into ignoring the woeful performance we put on for most of the game.
 
Proud isn't the word really. Losing against the odds to the Hawks by less than a kick last year, sure, you can say you were proud. Even though we had the injuries we still aren't playing the brand of footy which saw us finish 2nd last year. More players need to find form or it's going to be a long season.
 
FFS your a bunch of mostly bandwagoning idiots here... We looked ok till our main asset went down with a serious knee injury, we lost our main small backman who has done pretty well and got screwed by the umpires, had Thompson not been screwed in the last we were a chance, grow up you whinging f###
 
Yeah, not that proud. Losing the contests and clearances, our bread and butter, is no reason to be proud. We fought back to some degree, but we should have won tonight.

No we didn't. Tex was propping us up. Once our "get out of jail free card" went down, we got exposed badly for our terrible skills and complete lack of effort. We never derserved to win that game, despite the umpiring.

A proud loss was last year's Prelim, where we tried our heart out, but couldn't quite get over the line.

We had a chance to steal a game in Melbourne against an overrated side. We choked, big time.

What the **** are you talking about? Our first quarter (with Walker, as obviously you weren't watching) was easily our worst. We were garbage. If you don't care about shithouse, pathetic performances then what are you doing on BigFooty? Just jump on Facebook and join all the other "proud, brave" nonsense.
 
Proud? No. We were smashed in the centre and that allowed their small forwards to have a field day against our inexperienced small defenders.

The inexplicable thing is that we were never really out of the game and coild have won but for some horrible kicking for goal and worse umpiring that killed our momentum stone dead.

Didnt come to post to rant or rave or anything. You guys had a very tough day.. Walker looked like he was gonna kick 10 before he went down, i was thinking to myself shit were not stopping him today.

The thing i wanted to post about was Dangerfield. He's my favourite player in the league including carlton players, but he just doesnt look right. I kno he was being tagged by Armfield, but he just wasnt willing himself to any contests or anything. Plus when adelaide was coming back i was suprised he wasnt in the middle, instead he was off half back. Is there anything wrong with him? It looks to me like he's carrying a injury like a groin or something. If i had a guess looks like OP. Or maybe its just the increased pressure hes recieveing this year.

OH and RORY SLOANE! hes an absolute gem, ive always rated him but today jesus the way he goes from contest to contest was inspiring!
 
im proud if sloane, laird, rutten and otten. im not proud if lynch, reilly, mckay, petrenko.
 
I thought the fightback was very good, but then the umpiring bias came in full swing, swinging the momentum. Was quite obvious that having only one or two people on the bench took its toll towards the end of the last quarter. We wouldn't have won but the umpiring really took away from the game what we had going. I really hope we can take some of that momentum forwards into next week and give the Hawks a real scare. Playing Smack might be an option, would be handy in the ruck - one area we are losing and need to win. Even if we are half a forward down I believe that if we can win in the ruck, then this will carry on to winning in the midfield, making us look more like we played last year.
