Liddle has defined the path we are on, set the goals and has to be accountable for where we are.Its the bye, it hasn't gone to plan to date, use the time wisely.
Lol. There's only one "action" Carlton knows.Full backing of the board hay Pauly?
I am afraid that we do need to have a change in coach.What to do? Dunno mate, its rnd 12 and we have been seeing the same thing more or less every week. We have been hearing the same thing more or less every week in the pressers from the coach, CEO, Footy Manager, High Performance guy. But nothing changes.
I hate saying that, as it is an admission of failure. But we have failed. There is no greater certainty this year.
[1] We do not have a good system, or, if there is one, we don't appear to follow it.
[2] We don't win enough one-on-ones, mainly because our opposition is streaming forward with little pressure.
[3] Our ruck division is not up to taking on the AFL's best. Teams with a good ruckman smash us. Even Collingwood, and they are terrible.
[4] After the Hawthorn game I mentioned that even they have a better system than we do, and they are rubbish this year. You could see by the way they positioned themselves.
[5] Our players do not believe in themselves. They are accepting defeat too easily.
The season is over. After the bye, assuming we still have it, we need to start seeing if our kids have what it takes.
I really hate that, as it is an admission of failure, but what else can we do?
They had a WAY, WAY better side in last year when we played them over there in WA and took it up to them only to be denied by umpire 22. They lost to Essenscum last week and were 5 down from that side this week. Whichever way you look at it todays result was a disaster, but nothing we're not used to. Serious problems.Actually this post is more damning than @ElwoodBlues1 post.
They had some real spuds in today, they were average we were terrible. Look at their record away and on this ground.That is as damning a post as I have read after a loss.
This was a disaster imo..
Got smashed at the stoppages/clearances......like I have been saying for a while we need another of big coalface mids to help Cripps and Walsh. That has to be a recruiting priority along with a defender who can take these small/medium forwards who can take a mark.You say help Cripps, I cant but thinking we need someone to take over. More often than not these days, I look away in fear when he get the ball. I’m sure there be excuses made for him.
Carlton, happy to be very competitive, not the drive or want to take the next step.Premiership quarter coming up Jim.
I'm pretty sure Ed is playing on Cripps??Thanks, I wonder if he is better served going shoulder to shoulder with Gaff. Or can Newnes do a job.
It wasn't great, but we are certainly still in this game.Yes Krud but we can all see where its heading.
When was the last time we went in against a top 8 team, without a CHF, lost our FF in the 1st 15 minutes, missed more shots than we kicked, played largely average football for the first half....and were still with 8 points at half time.
2 years ago, we'd be 6-10 goals down by now.
This game is far from over.
We are playing very, very badly and yet there is only 8 points in it. I'm hoping that we actually play 2 good quarters because the opposition isn't much and that will be enough for us to win. At the moment though we are very uninspiring.Williams has been terrible for mine, as has been Cottrell, Murphy, Martin and to a lesser extent Cripps and Jones. Agree with the rest.
Newman good.
TDK doing well.
Williams playing OK.
Weitering spanking Darling (as he should)
I think Dow has done OK.
So cameos from blokes but generally very poor.
Cripps looks like he disinterested.
Pittonet needs some goal kicking practice. Thats 2 he's missed.Difficult shot, some of his team mates need more practice.
At least he is taking contested marks inside 50 though.
Who does that remind me of.....
