AFL Autopsy Vs. Carlton (Round 4)

[Lord Nicholson]

Love how it's a case of "Carlton were just 5% off", as if we are GWS or some s**t.

Worst 4-0 side in history.

Shhh.

Even the Swans are getting more press about their fine work, and let's keep it that way.

In all seriousness, this is an aberration for Carlton and it was quite frankly un-Carlton-like! They will bounce back and when the heat is on we shall see the Fab 4 or the Amigos or whatever they're called come to the fore.

I believe they prefer Mitchy Robbo and the Funk Bunch.

That is sooo awkward. Geeez Robbo is embarrassing. Cringeworthy watching him try to be strong and articulate.

 

[Kong]

Was Robbo pissed then, or what?

It's hard to tell if he's taking the piss or not.

Muttering, slurring, taking massive breaths.

Give up the booze and ciggies, you bogan.

 

[Kong]

He's not even directly answering Whateley's questions, either.

Whateley must be aware that he's dealing with a mental midget.

Love how it's a case of "Carlton were just 5% off", as if we are GWS or some s**t.

Worst 4-0 side in history.

Aiming to be the worst 23-0 side in history.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Whateley would be well aware, but that's the endearing aspect of Robbo. He is the bog-standard punter who has been given a voice. He's the permanent talkbacker. The whole purpose of him is to provide an uneducated and highly emotionally charged view of the football.

Anyone watch Insider tonight? I was bored, and so I did - quite bizarre. The Chief doing this inane and insincere pump-up of Essendon heralding them as flag favourites with tongue firmly in cheek, and then the first third of the episode was all about how awesome Carlton are. Not complaining about the focus being Carlton, but for a show that is all about analysis of the week in football on a tactical level it was all about Carlton's scoring power and only a mild lip service being paid to how it can not only be stopped but ruthlessly embarrassed.

Then they got to the ANZAC Day tips. Pies for Lynch and King, and then the Chief goes on about how he did the tips for After the Bounce and picked the Pies, but the Bombers are up and about! Et cetera. His tip for the medal being... Dane Swan (mmkay...). Strange and infantile behaviour from a Director of Football no less, but perhaps not so strange when you consider that again only lip service was paid to the fact that Hawthorn choked once more, revealing a lack of vital ticker and instead exhibiting their trademark proclivity for whinging.

The post-mortem of the game has been almost ideal, to be honest. Brushed off as a Carlton aberration, and a once-off for Essendon. Precisely what I suspect the club would be after. For a club that is successful by default, press about form and football itself is of no benefit, and can only be of detriment.

25-0 is what we should aim for

I also watched "the chief" try to put the mozz on Essendon too. So blatant. I also found the whole how good are Carlton thing weird, was wondering if I'd hallucinated their loss last week
