We were NOT in the game from the go get. As we've seen repeatedly this year,that means we lose.... Very disappointed indeed, although we were handicapped without the likes of Murphy and with the likes of Daisy and Jones (hi mick - mission accomplished).

The young guns showed some glimmers today. Weiters, Jack, and Cunningham were fantastic.

Go SoS - over to you....

Can't use the excuse of Murphy, they had half their team out! ::)

Disgraceful. Bolton hasn't  improved us much at all.

Can't recall the last time that an opposition side had two or three men loose on the wings of the MCG all day?

Brendan Bolton was slaughtered today.

As I just said in  the in game thread, the Club are fully aware of all the problems that we have.
Expect 10-12 players to be given the boot.
They will be very proactive in the draft and trade period.
The view is that it will take another year of pain next year continuing the rebuild, and then it is hoped we are competitive enough to reach the 8 in year 3.

Malthouse stuffed us. Be patient.

Sickening scenes (and gushing) in the aftermatch >:(

Still... the only ones to blame are us for allowing such a result.

Aaaaaaaand the last kick of season 2016 is a shot at goal by Levi Casboult which goes out on the full.  Probably sums it up really.

Who do you think will be shown the door?

Any clues on where we are at with Mitchell or Omeara??

Scapegoats are always convenient, we've been stuffed since 2001.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Too true Bignic, looking forward to a very active trade period, would be many nervous players about right now. Looking forward to the rumours flowing

Our players are better than their players, Bolton was outcoached.

Player work rate was the primary issue but two runs of 5 or 6 goals suggest there is an element of truth there

No improvement beaten by the bottom two teams, one good win over Geelong but we only caught a couple of teams that don't rate us by surprise. Lions and dons got a sniff and got the wins. Nothing in 2s maybe McKay, long long way to go
