We HAVE to pay better than last week!
Great start. Danger free and 50
First Cats goal... Murphy terrible skill error.
Thought the same LoveNavy , then we won the ball back & turned it over
Nice skills Harry
Well done. Great running goal, Charlie to H, goal
To warm the heart , Harry to Levi Goal
Fabulous shot of pudding face... What the hell?
We look switched on... tackling with intent... and 3 goals !!! Early signs looking good can we keep it up
I thought the afl was stopping those bullcr8p quick handpasses that are throws.
Love the tackle from White lined him a long way out
The amount of entries into the 50 is a worry . Lots of pressure on our backline. Our mids need to tighten up quickly
Our leaders are poor
Can I say it?
@#$&ing umpiring
Our leaders are poor
Every week.
We still cant tackle and too many of our players are dumb.
This has the hallmarks of a hiding and a half.
Cuningham doing his amazing invisible man act again, gggrrrr. Only CFC player likely to have a zero possessions first qtr... not what you want from a future star midfielder!
Tackle the frigging arms
Nick Graham would be handy, at least he gets his hands dirty.
Murphy and Gibbs are pathetic.
Simpson has had a horrible month so has Murphy
Standard crap with the umps. Cats getting away with just about t everything and we get away with nothing. Charlie being held every time he's near it and having his head pulled, nothing. Crazy.
how many cheap 1, 2 possessions has murphy picked in defense?
Charlie looking the goods.
Outbodied and outclassed, Gibbs almost invisible for the second week running.
Is Thomas playing?
Don't have McKay creep up to the backline. Keep him one out at ff ready to lead.
Pretty hard to win a game with key midfielders contributing so very, very little (Cuningham/Gibbs/Murphy).
how many cheap 1, 2 possessions has murphy picked in defense?
He'll end up with 30 touches but they mean f#$& all.
Dangerwood having a picnic, what a surprise.
Cuningham doing his amazing invisible man act again, gggrrrr. Only CFC player likely to have a zero possessions first qtr... not what you want from a future star midfielder!
Half the team has only 2 touches each, hard to win a game that way. Cats much more even team we look like deer in the head lights second half of the qtr. Could be a long night unless we can re group tighten up
Loved White's crunching tackle. H and big Levi going OK together too.
We're unlucky with some tackles. 360 spin and no htb free ???
It's okay, I saw Gibbs, he is playing
And I saw Murphy too.
12 shots to three in the first, this is gonna get real ugly real fast.
Can't blame the forward line tonight.
Cas had couple good tackle's
Tackle the frigging arms
19 - 44
Hope we can stay in this ::)
We are soft
Priority pick, priority pick, priority pick when do we want it....
Selwood still doing the duck :o
Tackle the frigging arms
Yep, our pressure needs to step up, we are giving them too much freedom.
Grt rid of Lingy please
Beautiful mark Charlie
Gee we give teams alot of space.
Grt rid of Lingy please
Makes me nauseated
Nice clearance and i50 Zac attack.
Goal Levi
Isn't it supposed to be raining and windy in Melb? ;D
Nice mark Harry, nice goal Levi! We are still in it.
Nice one Levi, has 3 , could he be the first one to get a 5 for us this year? Don't believe with have done this yet? Anyone?
Key forwards are going ok, just need a midfield to get it to them.
Front on to Gibbs... No free.
Levi should have obliterated Menegola then, too nice.
We are crape, that is all????
26 - 58.
Hang in there Blues
We are exactly like that junior club everybody has in their league that all clubs thrash. We play full well knowing we will always get beaten.
This will be our last Saturday night game.
Not sure how, need to stop i50 marks.
Key forwards are going ok, just need a midfield to get it to them.
Badly missing Cripps and Curnow in the middle
Starting to towel us up a bit now, let's hope we can turn it around. They are dominating clearances and contested footy.
Our foot skills are still woeful, we haven't improved in that area at all.
Excellent tackle plowman on selwood
Tackle the frigging arms
We are playing like a side thats 17th, zero to play for (even thought they should have some pride) and gone on holidays 4-5 weeks early, soft as butter.
Wooden spoon material

Why aren't we booing Hendo and Tooy?
Wooden spoon material
On the upside, that SHOULD mean pick 1 and a pp.
just our general decision making is so sub par. Missing short targets.
Raise your eyes you bunch of wannabees.
Plow, Doc, SoJ all terrible cheap blunders...
I can forgive the kids but our senior players are pathetic.
I get worried our kids will learn their pathetic ways like Nick Stevens taught Murphy and Gibbs
Cats find clearances easy when they get tackled and just chuck the ball away...Gees they get away with murder this mob.
Dunno why we are being called soft, other than Gibbs shirking it twice.... Dont see why we should be going flat chat, get no reward for it.
Why aren't we booing Hendo and Tooy?
I'm hearing plenty of them BP
19 players with under 10 possessions in a half of football. 38 handballs in total.
Embarrassing to watch. Our tackling is just pathetic. They just run at us knowing none of our players can stick a tackle.
On the upside, that SHOULD mean pick 1 and a pp.
Also means we have a lot more bargaining power with uncontracted players
Gibbs was in AA form just a month ago. What's happened.
Maybe adel have got in his ear and told him if he wants to come home needs to drop his form back.

No Cripps...Gibbs becomes tagging target No 1 and cant handle it....
Cats are too big for our kids and too skilled for numpties like White...Hawkins aint that great but we dont have a player who can physically match him, he is just running amok.
Danger looks like he is in cruise mode thankfully and just taking it easy....
Geelong are not that good, we are just ordinary...
Gibbs was in AA form just a month ago. What's happened.
No midfield depth, plain and simple!
No Crippa no Curnow = Cactus Carlton
Midfield depth totally inadequate :'(

All our blokes are just not going at the man and ball hard enough as far as Im concerned. Our tackling is pathetic, I have seen 2 or 3 decent ones tonight, every other has resulted in Geel players standing up and dishing off.
Also means we have a lot more bargaining power with uncontracted players
How so JH?
So here's a question....
What are we doing about Hawkins???
Why is he getting so much latitude.
Jones is miles from him on a lot of occasions.
I can't believe Hawkins is losing him to that extent
He cant be playing on him all the time.
Are the instructions to Jones to stay back while someone else picks him up when he drifts away from goal
Weitering seems to pick him up now and then.
Most of the time there seems to be no-one near him
How sweet Hendo and Touhy sitting together eating sweets...

We are playing a zone according to the commentary team and Jones is picking up their deepest forward who is not always Hawkins.

Cats have moved Hawkins up the field and are played Danger at FF....Weitering is picking him up but Hawkins is just too strong and even at ground level seems to agile....
Geelong just a bit cocky and think they have us covered, a few of their players are just going half paced....hopefully we can apply more pressure and make a game of it..

My guess is the dilemma arising when Danger rests fwd. It has some influence at least. Maybe unsettling to panic provoking ;)

Well that trick didn't work ::)
We're getting real good half time promotion - strange
We cannot tackle
No midfield depth, plain and simple!
It's glaringly obvious now that this is more a mid-field problem than a forward problem.
Classy one hand mark against hendo, Charlie.
Hendo, this is what the new Blues look like.
Nice mark and goal Charlie. Suck that one up Henderson!
S house with a capital S >:( >:( >:( >:(

Agree!
On the upside, that SHOULD mean pick 1 and a pp.
And that plan has always worked well for us ::)
Commentators are banging on about Hawkins beating Jones, but they aren't playing on each other!
We cannot tackle
[/b][/size]
Getting pantsed.
Matty K down.
Let's just boycott the last 4 games.
Danger should get done for that tackle. Bye bye brownlow?!
F Danger, he just got another bloke. Time to run through that hero.
Gibbs gets weeks for a tackle that Dangerfield gets praised for!
Two weeks Danger you prick. Oh, sorry, protected species, $500 fine.
Cats to big, to well drilled & experienced. We have a way to go, as pointed out here before, our mids big worry.
Bye bye Brownlow
If Kreuzer laid the same type tackle on Dangerfield, there would have been uproar and calls for a suspension.
Simple thing tonight is we are not getting our hands on the ball, stats don't lie in this case
Any news on what's wrong with Kruezer?
Perfect clearance Cunningham
Bryce Gibbs.... Without Cripps we as well play him across half back. As a standalone mid he's a traffic cone.
Cats to big, to well drilled & experienced. We have a way to go, as pointed out here before, our mids big worry.
Gibbs having a dirty night for sure. Not on his Pat Malone either.
Any news on what's wrong with Kruezer?
Looked like head knock. Dander pinned his arms tackling him without the ball
Btw a "FLICK" is an effing throw Lingy.
Jones hanger show ;D
Again, Casboult should have fair dinkum SMASHED News. Too nice.
Only positive for me is Charlie Curnow is playing another good game. Looking good for the Rising Star $$ :D
The way i see it, our biggest problem tonight is we only have 1 Charlie Curnow out there. Need 21 more.

Thought exactly the same Prof. Clearly illegal disposal. Lingy is a dick.

He's more 1-eyed than Eddie commenting on a Collingwood game!

Is that a trick question
Thomas is a crab. Gone. Slow. Disinterested. Ineffectual.
I have never seen our emblem ripped off our jumper, Charlies has been ripped off. Symbolic actually.
Is that a trick question
Take that back. Just bleeting about mk being injured.
My bad
I have never seen our emblem ripped off our jumper, Charlies has been ripped off. Symbolic actually.
But his jumper wasn't being held...
Kruezer suspected broken wrist.
Our worst nightmare, worse even than losing Cripps.
Injured in a sling tackle Lingy, anything to say about that?
Geel 320 disposals Carl 199 , if you can't get the ball hard to influence a game
Thought exactly the same Prof. Clearly illegal disposal. Lingy is a dick.
He's in love.... Makes you say the daftest things :-*
Thomas is a crab. Gone. Slow. Disinterested. Ineffectual.
Not sure why you are singling him out. Has plenty of mates tonight.
15 guys below 10 possessions at 3/4 time. That is extraordinarily poor.
Sounds like it's preferable that I'm at the game rather than watching and listening to Ling bang on about it 'flicks' - how many ducking flicks does it take to be illegal?!
Yes Charlie a stand out. Fisher also good. Haven't seen Daisy Gibbs Murph simmo do much.
Kruezer out is season over unfortunately.
Really crap atmosphere here - cats supporters are a boring bunch
Thomas is a crab. Gone. Slow. Disinterested. Ineffectual.
Not on his own. I lost interest a while ago.
Our worst nightmare, worse even than losing Cripps.
Yep. 100% sadly true.
F*** we are unlucky team.
I mean the cheats have 2 players only on the injury list and none of their better players.
So hope danger goes for it. But know he won't.
Our worst nightmare, worse even than losing Cripps.
Gorringe got injured in the VFL today.
Phillips is already injured.
Korchek could get a call up to the 1's next week?!
Probably better off going with Casboult only.
Well you spent the first 18 games of this year praising his "leadership". I'm reminding you that he is simply crap - but as you rightly point out, part of a large group of players who are crap.
Fox talking about Kruezer have concussion test no talk re broken wrist? Where has this come from?
Ling is irrelevant, parasite taking 7's money for nuthin ????????
Nice one Jack.
Great mark and goal SOJ
Injured in a sling tackle Lingy, anything to say about that?
Lingy said it was an accident and he didn't mean it so he won't get reported
Well you spent the first 18 games of this year praising his "leadership". I'm reminding you that he is simply crap - but as you rightly point out, part of a large group of players who are crap.
Best captain in the league Joel Selwood couldn't lead this group tonight. Bit harsh to single out Thomas for it.
Do you want me to name all the other crabs as well?
I'm glad the V8's are on the other channel
Do you want me to name all the other crabs as well?
Whats the point of calling any individual out, when they are all as bad as eachother is my point.

Let Casboult and McKay ruck and just rove to the opposition. Be good for McKay to do what he did in the VFL 2 weeks ago, ruck, run around and essentially play "see ball, get ball".
Well done wright
We are so bad it's almost comical.
Well, all our made taller forwards have hit the scoreboard. Imagine if they had a midfield kicking it to them.
Why is Lamb playing? Do they need extra traffic cones at Etihad tonight?
Let Casboult and McKay ruck and just rove to the opposition. Be good for McKay to do what he did in the VFL 2 weeks ago, ruck, run around and essentially play "see ball, get ball".
McKay has struggled to run out a single quarter up forward, how long do you reckon he will last in the ruck?
Curnow as relief ruck/extra midfielder. He has the tank and nous to play there whereas McKay is just a body.
Well, all our made taller forwards have hit the scoreboard. Imagine if they had a midfield kicking it to them.
Yes, it's pretty clear where our rebuild focus should now be.
Gibbs is a lazy, lazy footballer. Hard to maintain zones when blokes won't run to defend.
Liam Jones will ruck, destroying his new found confidence!
That's the way we roll!
Just a good old fashioned spanking. The kids get another look at what they need to aspire to.
I guess this means no more Friday or Saturday nights for us
I think it's obvious why they were loathe to play McKay for so long. He's good for about 20 mins before he's knackered.
Liam Jones will ruck, destroying his new found confidence!
That's the way we roll!
Sounds about right.
Although, we do have Marchbank, Weitering, Plowman, White, Macreadie, Williamson as cover for talls down back.
Nice work Samo picking a bloke off the fringe of the pack, about time we pushed back a bit.
Nice of us to play Hawkins into career best form
McKay has struggled to run out a single quarter up forward, how long do you reckon he will last in the ruck?
Curnow as relief ruck/extra midfielder. He has the tank and nous to play there whereas McKay is just a body.
I know it's the AFL but he played the whole last half in the ruck a couple of weeks ago in the VFL and did well. He'll only relieve here but a run on the ball instead of starving on our forward line will do him good.
We've failed to get near crazy eyes. He's killed us.
6 goals, career high disposal
Nice of us to play Hawkins into career best form
Why isn't Jones on him?
Goods to see Harry goal, skill level seems to be there, looks like a natural forward. Fox saying we have used 39 players this yr, so we got some games into some kids due to injuries , so not hard to see nights like this happening late in the season
Jones. Plow and Weeters have been deadset putrid.
Well glad that's over , had to happen at some stage
I know it's the AFL but he played the whole last half in the ruck a couple of weeks ago in the VFL and did well. He'll only relieve here but a run on the ball instead of starving on our forward line will do him good.
Mate he's stuffed. If he ever goes to ground, he just sits there watching his opponent run off. He hasn't got the tank to play deep forward at VFL level as he's done the same thing. Now it could be he simply doesn't give a stuff.....but i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying its fitness.

Par for the course.
278 to 435 disposals, WOW!!

One midfielder has managed to stay quiet all night! They've all had extended periods of poor contribution, but Cuningham... :(
