I don't expect the same feeling as last week, but I can hope.

So before people start questioning why player x is getting a game, i thought i'd copy this from what i wrote in the in-game thread.

@Prof....

Injury list heading into this game...
 David Cuningham    Hamstring    Season
 Jesse Glass-McCasker    Knee    2 weeks
 Sam Docherty*    Knee    Season
 Zac Fisher    Leg    Season
 Liam Jones    Knee    Season
 Matthew Kreuzer    Heart    Test
 Kym LeBois    Hamstring    4 weeks
 Cillian McDaid    Foot    1 week
 Andrew Phillips    Hamstring    Season
 Lachie Plowman    Knee    Season
 Alex Silvagni    Achilles    Season
 Jacob Weitering    Quad    Test
 Tom Williamson    Back

Add in J. Silvagni who was a late out with injury

14 players.

We are (obviously) playing 22 today.

That makes 36.

That leaves 9 players who are not on either of those 2 lists.
1. Casboult
2. Kerridge
3. Mullett
4. Shaw
5. Schumacher
6. De Koning
7. Macreadie
8. Garlett
9. Kerr
 

Blokes not up to AFL standard
Kids who have been injured and play a position already taken by kids
Somewhere inbetween the 2 other categories.

So remind me....who exactly should we playing in place of Graham, Polson, Lang and whoever else you have an issue with?

Could be worse...we could support Gold Coast
Melb 57- GC 6 at quarter time.

There is something radically wrong with this competition.

I DARE them not to apply for a priority pick.

Other than H and Crippa, I dont know what to take out of that. They were too fast, skilled, strong and smart. Kelly would have walked away from that thinking no way I will go to that club in a hurry. Souless and spiritless performance. The only stats we won were hit outs and bounces.
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

Looking at the hybrid, half-arsed free agency is a big starting point!

Then they need to get some real control over the under the table payments.

That last qtr was the most embarrassing since I started following footy 55 years ago. They were down to 17, even even 16.....16!!!!!!!!

We are so poorly structured, poorly drilled that we had no idea how to take advantage of that. what have we been doing for the last 3 years.

The result shouldn't really surprise, GWS are a well skilled and hard at it side and they'll take some beating this season, we are injury hit and very inexperienced.

The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

I think it's the exact opposite.

We are over-structured, over-coached and over-drilled which makes us too predictable for any half-talented basic footballing opponent!

Freewill doesn't allow for that sort of performance, it takes a significant amount of planning to be that bad!

As I've said before until we get our player development sorted out we are in big trouble. We are crap at player development so recruiting blokes who need a lot of development will mean we double down on being poor!

You can draft athletes if you have good development coaches if you don't then don't do it!

Potentially 15.

They had 2 off and then a blood rule. Unclear if he was replaced immediately or not.

12 months ago i saw these 2 sides go at it on the same venue.

Carlton won by 1 point.

Only difference was today they played a handicap match and won by 100 points.
