Game Day Rnd 11 - Carlton v Essendon Game Day Discussion

[HBF]

No. Good young player who isnt match hardened. But his career will be a waste here if things continue as projected.

Agree.
He just needs to play footy

 

[RAPPA]

The quicker we flick Bolton the better

carlton’s talent pool ain’t that deep to be honest. A fair few vfl standard players out there

 

[Iamcarlton]

Horrendous style of football.

We are just playing so dumb and that's mainly on the coaches.

Wet weather need to surge the ball forward, take the territory and get it to dangerous spots eg 30m out direcly in front.

We aren't doing that at all.

Were too busy getting numbers behind the ball to have any impact from a surge forward imo

 

[Styxx]

That did look like a lot of our 2nd quarters this year. That has been a bad habit consistently. Has been butchered by both teams, Bombers a little luckier (Gibbons doesn't hit the post for example).

 

[Wickzki]

Bolton has been a bigger disaster than Malthouse.

There is serious talent there but there is zero aspect of the gameplan that is AFL standard

A complete coaching cleanout is sorely needed.

I don't care how nice a guy Bolts might be either.

 

[95blues]

Marchbank, Weitering and Kreuzer good.

The rest average to bad.

 

[F_therest]

The quicker we flick Bolton the better

Yeah i gotta say, our structures/gameplan looks consistently poor and the players look confused...still, after 4 years under Bolton.

Our players are talented, many high draft picks. But the connection between the players is just so bad.

I think we need a cleanout of our coaches except Amos.

 

[BlueTang]

Glad Simmo isn’t in the squad, he’s the last player we’d want in these conditions

 

[Benaly28]

We have no game plan at all.We don’t have plan b.We look like and are a rabble.

 

[mike ockerts]

The resistance is just about done for the day, we have nothing forward centre, NOTHING!!!
Or run and ball use off half back is laughable at best, I know it's a tad wet, but gee whiz it's a joke, got a bad feeling coming in the second half this could blow wwwiiiiiiiddddde apart to 60+ point thrashing in the wet, there is nothing to suggest otherwise imo, long cold wet day at the football

 

[Robbo's my hero]

It’s easy for most of you. Just turn the TV off or watch something else.

 

[Meddy43]

It’s tough to win a game with a goalless quester.
I give up. This is super depressing now.

 

[Jimmae]

ok...wasnt aware and i guess he is playing because cupboard is bare

They had 34 other players to select from, so that's not an excuse either.

He's been the senior emergency a lot as well.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

We kicked 2 in analog and need 4 to win without them scoring! I'm nota punting man but geez, tough

 

[BeligerentBlue]

I've turned off games because we were getting smashed. Don't think I've ever turned off a game because I'm bored!.

I wish I could but never can

 

[Robert Heatley]

I’m at the game, it’s hard to think many more miserable places to be. Aside from the football we have some lady shrieking something about MILO. FFS

 

[ShanDog]

We do have an extraordinarily stubborn coach... Wonder how much is instruction and how much are just his traits probably filtering through

It's not the coach. Coach shouldn't need to point out that it's clearly bloody wet, so kick longer and make sure you've got one in front and one behind the contest. It's under 16s stuff.

 

[athensblue]

Why doesn’t Kennedy make himself useful & charge through Clarke at a stoppage?

Or go home

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

There are no excuses for this today, just as there wasn't last week.

One thing to have a talented list of youngsters who need experience but our skills are terrible, and that was before the rain came.

We need a circuit breaker and that's when coaches are most at risk. There is no big selection change to drop. Nobody sacks assistant coaches mid season and it would be meaningless anyway.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Any one that gives s**t to Plow ….. and none to Marchy needs their bloody heads read.

 

[Styxx]

as usual we have all the players and things necessary, just butchering disposal

It that is as usual then we don't have the players necessary.

 

[No1Suspect]

Sick to death of this boundary line horse s**t. Let Doc do the boundary, sit up in the ******* coaches box and make some moves, watch the ******* game. Letting Barker report to you.... that campaigner doesnt even know what or where he is.

 

[PP34]

Disgraceful.

That is all.

 

[Starsheen]

Ugly, ugly footy from both sides . Hopefully they decide to play in the 2nd half

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Wet weather footy and we can't get Crippa or Kennedy anywhere near it. Lol. 'tactics'
