We're still crap...

[legendtofski]

..looks like another long (or short since it'll be over by halfway) year..

We are getting smashed by the bloody Dawks once again, and it's only bloomin' pre-season..Last year's humiliation was DISGUSTING, and the same crap is going on..

No midfield, Betts can't kick, Houla and Simmo unsighted, Carrots disappears..

As soon as someone puts pressure on them they crumble like girls..

This is crap, Judd is one man, we can't expect him to carry the whole team!

 

[marcmurphy3]

these guys are a joke. they should be embarrassed. Absolutely pathetic for a pro sporting team

how much longer must they toture us supporters with this sh#t

 

[wdgann]

we will never be good with the following players:

-Stevens
-Betts
-thornton

they are 3 useless players and should be delisted immediately

 

[The Real Deal]

Over using the ball. Stop mucking around with it!! Very frustrating to watch

 

[The Cranium]

Settle petal...not that I can see the game, but lets re-access after 6 rounds of the H&A

They maybe fudging

 

[nutcase888]

yeah but a new coach and new 'modern game plan' was going to put an end to blow outs like this right .

yes we are still crap and will continue to be until these kids get a couple more years experience under there belts. just accept it.

 

[NWTYRX]

what the **** is going on? 50 handballs in a qtr? Kick the ****ing thing

 

[detox]

LOL

1 quarter and your demanding delistings.

Its a preseason game, dont read too much into it.

you have to be joking! think before posting shit like this

 

[mediumsizered]

Getting absolutely smashed in the centre clearances, but apparently we don't miss Bentick, because Carazzo does that job. As for going short in defence. For goodness sake, if you are going to turn the ball over on 20 metre kicks you are going to get smashed. Back to the basics, fellas. Let's not try & be too clever.

stevens is probably the only one who played okay

 

[Hollow Knight]

You guys just need to be more daring.

Its a practice match... have a go!

As for the guy saying that you'll never be good with Nick Stevens on your list...

Gun, first player I selected for my Supercoach team.

 

[legendtofski]

They maybe fudging

Fudging who? Each other? The supporters?

Thornton, Betts, Houlihan and dare I say it WAITE haven't improved their footy in 3 years!!!! That's not fudging, that's REALITY.

I think alot of you 'sympathisers' for some of these guys are gonna get a big wake-up call this year!!!

I'd LOVE to be proven wrong, but I don't see it.

PS: Our backline is still a joke, who are Grigg and Jackson, both are terrible.

 

[Roar]

The title of this thread says it all!!!

Look on the bright side, you could and probably will end up with picks 1 & 2 again this year!!!

In 8 years from now your starting 22 could be filled with draft picks 1 & 2...

What, and prove that the draft system doesn't work???

Yep......Bentick really made a differece last year when he took Sam Mitchell apart last time we played the Hawks

 

[Windas_Magic]

Your defence worries have been proven again tonight but it hasn't helped with your midfield not showing any confidence or defensive pressure at all. Theire allowing the Hawk players to do whatever they please. Only NAB Cup and with young players this will happen but you better hope you can improve on your:

• SKills
• Decision making
• Tackling and Pressure
• Confiedence and running
  Clearances

They've all been shocking thus far

 

[bluesforever]

I wonder if we will kick a goal at all tonight? This is insane. I was afraid of being pumped.

 

[Coobk001]

Got to say after how ordinary you were last week though this isn't a surprise.

We played our B grade lineup last week and we only lost because of our own bad disposal and choices. You should have won by more and a lot easier.

To put it in perspective we have a similar side in against Sydney now, probably a little worse and we are 54 points down at half time.

 

[vc_viking]

It's only NAB cup. Who cares.

 

[DonFletch]

port adelaide kicked alot of goals against us from stoppage play....and our deficiency in this area is showing again, we need midfielders who revel in close and relish the hard footy.

 

[nutcase888]

why isnt the question ever asked of Craig Bradley??? Our skills have become worse since he came on board. Just look at Murphy who had all the skill in the world in his first year and now all he does is turn the ball over and miss shots for goal. Bradley is doing about as much as Kernahan at Carlton which is absolutely stuff all.

 

[Jeremias]

It's round 2 of the NAB cup. We'd be stupid to think that based on this one performance, we're not going up.

We should know better than any other supporters that the NAB cup means absolutely nothing when it comes to indicating form for the season to come.

We're having a bad game, it happens, and it will always happen. Just don't look into it too much.

As for the newbie tool suggesting Stevens is useless and should be delisted, I suggest that he go back to where he came from, because we dont want to hear such ****ing uneducated crap, even if he is a Carlton supporter.

 

[mediumsizered]

Yep......Bentick really made a differece last year when he took Sam Mitchell apart last time we played the Hawks

No one made a difference in that game. I would rather have Bentick out there than not have him out there. One of our leading clearance & first possession players & our number one tackler. You need to have 2-3 clearance specialists nowadays, not just one.

 

[BWST]

Stevens is a good player. But he lacks toughness. What you guys need is a tough ball winner, in and under type. Too many behind the play receivers. I still think you'll do ok this year.
