It's a bit of a Catch 22

While it's creditable that they performed much better in the second half (and you would want to see that) it sometimes deadens the impact of what went before and gives a bit of a false impression.
We were awful as can be in that first half.

2nd half was junk time..Freo just had the foot off the gas and gave us some easy goals...we were disgraceful most of the day and lacked spirit.....
Freo are not that good and terrible on the road...thats what makes it worse....

I was out all day. We didn't play that game plan where we zone off and play well off their opposition did we? We get slaughtered everytime. IF Bolton's done that in a winnable game then he can F right off.

Just play to our strengths, as we did against Geelong and Sydney, that's the game style these days anyway.

What I saw of the first qtr, our game plan is:
- Turn it over at every opportunity
- Give away stupid free kicks
- Miss goals dead in front
- Put your team mates under as much pressure as possible
- Hand ball or kick to team mates below their knees
Repeat the above over and over again.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

At least we won the second half, we showed some perseverance and resolve which was a small positive. First half was a bad as I have seen and it was like we were still in bye mode and then woke up!
Thought Weitering, OBrien and Silvangi showed a bit outside of Simmo who tries week in week out
Think Silvangi will make a good contested ball mid fielder moving forward

P.S. great effort for Matty Wrights 150th, one for him to remember fondly. Dont worry Suns and Saints supporters, Carlton will keep you off the front pages.

Much the same as the last 15 years then?
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

6-3 to 3.8 ....  they missed some easy shots especially in that third quarter.
It could have been much worse

kick over their heads too.
It was like they thought we were wearing our clash jumper today, white jumpers pinpointed all day, by hand and foot...
The first 10-15 mins of the 3/4 we hit teammates with the ball and were much cleaner, then we started fumbling and turning it over again ????
Let’s go BIG !

Agree...they just shifted down a gear and glided home......Cripps, Simpson and Kruezer showed some pride but that was about it IMO.

More like should have been......the final score flattered us.

A more un-skilled team in the AFL you will not find.....

I'm a longtime bluebagger and generally optimistic. Today though..... positivity escapes me.

It was one of the most painful games I've watched. Particularly given we've had a bye, Freo haven't, and haven't won away games.

Haven't seen BB presser yet. Can't imagine what he'll say about what was a sub-AFL performance by a club that is wilting, infected by black beetle or white fly, or maybe it's white ants......
