Game Day Rnd 11 - Carlton v Essendon Game Day Discussion

[Christou2Kouta]

Begging for priority picks sort of does !!

At what point did I beg for a pick?

Given you have zero ability to infer, let me spell out the purpose of my post.

1) the AFL has a rule that allows them the discretion to offer draft concessions to poor performing sides
2) we are the worst performed side in 25 years, we’ll struggle to accrue five wins in two seasons
3) if the AFL choose not to offer concessions to us this year they may as well remove the pretense of the rule altogether because I struggle to imagine another side ever being this bad in the future

This statement has no bearing on the fact that our list management, recruiting, development, conditioning, selection and strategy are all deserving of criticism and clearly the main reasons we’re in this predicament.

AFL should move our games to Tuesday’s at 10am...we don’t deserve to play on a Sunday at 3pm

 

[BrianSetzer]

Feel for Bolton, unfortunately he'll soon be history.

 

[Mondyboy]

In which sport is 39 points and honorable loss even mentioned in the same sentence?

I said sits between - as in the margin sits between an honourable loss and a flogging.

cya bolton... first time i've said it

If anyone besides JW, Stocker, Kruez and Cas put their hands out for their match payment this week should be asked one question “based on your performance on Sunday do you deserve to be paid?” Not one but the above 4 deserve to be paid.

 

[LemmingMaster]

One positive is the fact we will finally learn if the AFL will ever give out priority draft picks.

 

[jj1978]

Game was still in play at the start of the quarter and none not one of our players gives a toss.... they’ve spoken

 

[Doro]

SOS should be out the door before Bolton, but sadly won’t be

The football world rates our kids.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Get the ball to Walsh. Currently on his lowest disposal tally of the year at 19.

Fixed.

 

[T2B_]

Lol Tippa’s giving hugs to SPS its that bad Bombers players feel sorry for our players.

Well Tippa was a Blues fan growing up. Probably feels sorry for what we've become now.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Fasolo and Thomas shouldn't get another game either, terribly bad additions....

Mate, you're on the Carlton board. Need to pull it up before you say something you shouldn't.

 

[King Cripps]

D

Well looks like we have traded pick 1. Can’t see us turning this season around unfortunately

dont worry they will definitely ask for another priority pick at the end of the season

 

[SammaGilberto]

Walsh just showed more passion in that little scuffle than any of the boys all game.

 

[ShanDog]

Alright I'm done. Someone send me a text if anything interesting happens for the rest of the year. Too much other important s**t I could be doing.

Glad we loaded up on defenders. Because with the way our midfield lets teams waltz through the middle and pepper our D50, there's no ******* way any would want to come to our club.

I’m not convinced.

Not really though, right?
It sits firmly in flogging. Considering Essendon are a crap team also.

 

[BrianSetzer]

I'll be shocked if we win another game this year.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Fixed.

Still on 19.

Edit: Stats updated.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Getting thumped by a mediocre mob missing 6-7 of their best...

Is it still not that bad?

 

[Wily trout]

Been a member for twenty years, think next year the membership department will need to convince me. I have been a passionate supporter, a disappointed supporter, a shattered supporter, a loyal no matter what supporter, an unsure supporter, a 'she'll be right next season' supporter. Right now I am a 'can't stand watching my club', supporter. This is so wrong!! Where the $&@? have my mighty Blues gone??????

 

[T2B_]

It's funny they expect the fans to stick fat, when the players themselves can't be assed.

 

[Doro]

I’m not convinced.

Read all opinions outside our own. We've got a talented young list.

 

[Wickzki]

We are so far beneath AFL level its a joke.

Sack Bolton.

Enjoy the Eagles, Cripps. Please don't waste anymore of your career with this utter crap.

 

[BlueBayou]

Get the ball

I can see a bit of a problem with this plan
