Game Day Rnd 9 - Carlton v Hawthorn Game Day Discussion

[95blues]

Hahaha there we have it

Tell me again how Murphy is a starting mid in every side?

Will play exactly 300 games.

 

[gunslingr]

Umpire calls play on, Walsh stands still and gives him all the time in the world to kick the ball, while 2 Carlton players run past and leave him be.... aims up the night really. Abysmal.

Yeah the 2 carlton players running past but doing nothing is the bigger issue I reckon

 

[bigm386]

3-4 changes next game minimum.

Lol no chance.

 

[rampar]

Brendon Bolton masterminded this.

My mum could have masterminded this.

Cut off centre kick, make em work the other way, run out of puff. Game over.

 

[Bell Ringer]

Hawthorn last year?

No expectations then. This is pathetic.

 

[KnightsBlue]

Bolton with his inside intelligence has broken us

 

[Bluezer]

This was a good game to put in some "freshness" into the team... you could already see Murphy and few others needed a rest.. bar injury we keep playing the same 22 in a tough season

Absolutely spot on.

 

[No1Suspect]

We were 31-0 at one point... lol...

Our team has no killer instinct.

There isnt a player on our list that has a killer instinct. We get a lead and we sh*t ourselves.

 

[teknodeejay]

We aren't a premiership calibre team but who honestly would've claimed that.

We are a middle of the road team this year.

A 9th to 13th side imo

 

[Blue1980]

Of anything the problem is trying too hard.
Complete panic and desperation out there since midway through the second quarter. Have we once attempted to hit a target going inside 50? Nope, just panic, bang it long, hope.

Tackling pressure was great and has ended up just headless chooks, and the defence is in utter panic.

Ugghhh

Yep completely lost our composure and structure in a way we haven’t since at least round 2 in the first quarter.

Something we have to get better at. Unfortunately this side hasn’t been exposed to these scenarios very much.

So we have to figure out do we just want to be a middling team who can turn it on at times or do we want to work hard to be the best?

Has been terrific the last three weeks. They’ve all been rubbish.

 

[gunslingr]

Jesus just take the kick Cripps

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Amazing you get goals when play going your way.....8-0 in the first qtr when we dominated ....no one complaining

I call them as I see them. You think that was a free kick? You think that wasn't a throw? Fair enough. You're entitled to your opinion. So am I.

 

[happydude]

Lol I'd hate to be in a real world disaster situation with most of you people on here.

Go to water so easily.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Well at least I won a hundred on Cunningham kicking the first goal...... actually would have preferred not to win the money, but have won the game!

 

[Arr0w]

Will play exactly 300 games.

And?

 

[WFGodot]

Oh miss? Surely not?

 

[Mondyboy]

The first quarter was fun, we will always have that.

It has showed you need to recruit those who can kick. Hawthorn has so many.

Their (Hawks) disposal has been awful for a month. Today they’ve looked a million dollars.

 

[prisoner777]

Ratts has the Saints nicely in the 8, we continue to show real promise, but lack consistency when it matters....(sadly) against the teams near the bottom. We have been experiencing the "green shoots" now for several seasons, but when will they really flower rather than tip their head to the sun and then go back into hibernation?

 

[Blue1980]

100% correct re setters. he plays scared. wont go for the ground ball if there is a pack and any risk of getting hurt

If we are writing off players based on today’s game you’d delist 15.

Setters has had a good month as many others have, wouldn’t be throwing baby out with bath water

 

[rp84]

Cuningham should be in there with him, and someone tell me that Petrevski Seton has done anything useful in the last week.

Took a pretty sweet photo for the media team...

 

[J-dog]

Well. Not that we were getting ahead of ourselves but a bit of a reality check all the same.
Hopefully the players get a bit of a sting from this game and use it as motivation to be smarter, work harder and be ruthless.
Haven't seen us do many of the one percenters in block and position and run in numbers. Hawks have been excellent all game. At least Moore has played fairly well.
Let's see what some of the kids can do when they come in again in 2 weeks time.

 

[ETET]

Everyone knew he was going to be a 0, you cant come into a game with a known 0. If other players produce sh*t, welp a bit of bad luck, but there was no scope for him to do anything today and everyone knew it.

We lost this game around the ball and down back...and this players that had the ball making poor decisions with non composure. Moore is a bit player in any team he is is not the difference tonight it our senior players around the ball.

 

[muesli]

Can someone please draw me a detailed description of where our midfield went after qtr time. Also we really need a plan B or something, it seems win lose or draw we just play 1 way and thats it.

I'd draw a house ut don't know how on here.
