Autopsy Rd 23 Blues have a shocker. Bring on the draft

[prisoner777]

What a ******* disgrace! Now we get the stories of how honourable the top ups are etc etc these brainwashed **** wits are lapping it up what a "brave" club. Should have been 2 years banned. Jobe must hand back his medal. But NO the CorruptAFL gets what they wanted the team that systematically cheated look Brave and still get the No 1 pick it's absolutely ******* sickening!

Shouldn't we focus on our shortcomings rather than lambast a Bombers outfit which weren't guilty of anything?

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Best thing about that performance is that SOS could trade and delist the whole damn lot of them and there would be no tears.

We would say this without thinking.

Then a flash flood would occur after the likes of Cripps, Weitering. Silvagni and Docherty get traded out.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Who is doing the preview for next week FFS?

 

[Bluechip66]

hi everyone im back after exile from my drunkeness last week. lol

i promise i wont denigrate liam jones this week....but....just jokes!

well our little comeback may have wasted the loss as bummers are still bottom & pick 1
up to brisvegas to totally capitulate to get it home

 

[Just Kreuzing]

This is not Daisy hating.

But jeez he is terrible, tries his hardest but hes def not up to it anymore. Made so many mistakes on and off the ball today.

Straight swap for Travis Cloke.....

Would cost the same.

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Nothing further to add on today's performance than what others have said...the result speaks for itself. What is amplifies however is our deficiencies, which supports the notion that we need to cut hard and embrace the draft. Over to you SOS and bring on 2017!

 

[Iamcarlton]

We didn't even try today. The lack of defensive pressure was deplorable

Agree effort costs nothing , last game players as a group checked out couldnt give a **** about performing for their supoorters members and club .

 

[Dramoth]

What has happened to the holding the man free kick?

And relayed free kicks for getting clattered after you kicked the ball.

And apparently, getting pushed into someone's legs is illegal, but diving into someone's legs is perfectly fine.

As I said in the game day thread. The fix was in. The AFL has suddenly realised that if Essendon had finished on the bottom of the ladder, any form of integrity that the AFL had left after their looking after Essendon* all the way through the supplements scandal, would have disappeared.

So... honestly... * the AFL... pack of cheating corrupt campaigners!



PS: Even my mum was wondering why Carlton weren't getting more free kicks... and she doesn't really follow the football any more!

 

[Gavstar]

Sign of a once poised player in dissaray.

Disposal efficiency in the 40's I'd hate to see what it looked like if it was just kicking efficiency!

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Not much to enthuse about today.

Same best 6 as it has been for months.

Pretty much white flagged it from the second quarter.

 

[BoltonsBlues]

Bring on the draft..... hey look another draft thread.. pick 4 = ainsworth please

 

[prisoner777]

We beat Demons but lost to Lions and Bombers in the past few weeks. Bolts likely view that we're tired could apply to any other team too. There is still a seriously long way to go for the team to be consistently competitive.

 

[Styxx]

Carlton can go and get stuffed.

 

[Gethelred]

Did we bloody what?!

I'm fairly moderate, so it pains me to write this, but there is no silver lining for today. We dropped our heads, our colours, and our temperament to an opposition side of trash. That they were assisted in their efforts by the utterly PUTRID umpiring is no excuse for the complete breakdown of the systems, for the getting in each other's way, for the fumbling and the incredible lack of support received by everyone on the ground. There was not a shephard in sight, nor a punching fist at a marking contest, nor a block to give our forwards some space.

There was no standout in the team forward of the centre. There were pinpricks of light - Phillips showed he has a deft touch by foot, and a footballer's brain, and Cuningham had an excellent final term - but for the most part, today represents exactly where we are at as a club.
We are precisely this bad, and no amounts of effort, or composure, or talent by our best can obscure that fact.

That said - I think I'm actually calming down as I write this - Touhy had one of the most unassuming days today; kept running, kept fighting. Kruez played like the ruck/midfielder he could be if he got his act together more often. Watching Gibbs and Cripps today has shown that Gibbs, unlike ninety percent of the footy public, is no longer surprised when Cripps pinpoints a handpass to him with three blokes hanging on when he has no direct line of sight, and he just moved on. In the past, our mids are as shellshocked as the rest when Cripps did that; today, Gibbs just moved on. This will be valuable in the future. SOS has a natural ability to just loose his opponent, and to draw the ball; his ability to get it and dispose of it is not yet up to the standard, but he's still getting plenty of it, and today was an off day.

The ball bounced the other way, all day; we had the sit, then the bloody thing would bounce at right angles straight to an opposition player. They played well, better than I've seen them play this year, and they held every mark, nailed every kick. Hell, you know you're unlucky when ******* Daniher kicks 5.2.

But the positives that I've written are precisely zero consolation. We lost, to Essendon, in a season where they have 13 of their best off the field. That's it.

Today had nothing to do with deficiences as was the case with the brisbane game they didnt turn up to have a red hot go .

 

[prisoner777]

Would you want to come to Carlton after watching that?? I know if was JOM I'd say, thanks, but no thanks.

Think you're right (unfortunately).

 

[Gethelred]

Urrghh

ODN, thanks for putting the stats up after every game, all year. Is awesome.

 

[setantypants]

This is the lowest I've felt about the team in a decade. Malthouse era was better than this.

Pieces of s**t shouldn't get paid. Clean them all out except the top 5. Joking with the bombers after the game.

Get ****ed Carlton

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Seen calls for Kreuzer to be sacked again. Outperformed Phillips once more but only he was mentioned. Needs to hold his grabs, needs to kick his goals but at least he gets near the ball.

 

[prisoner777]

Straight swap for Travis Cloke.....

Would cost the same.

So Casboult would be out?

 

[SBYM]

I heard thylacine60 volunteered...

Kruz does enough to hold his place in the team. Just wish he played to influence the game.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Decoy....

 

[BoltonsBlues]

Yes vajayjay

They weren't the worst.
