We have become their bunnies. Hate those Crows. They have some ordinary players that we play into for. I mean 16.4 bet they dont do that again.
Some have said that TDK would of got smashed if not for Pitto. We don't need to protect TDK, TDK needs to work out how to play these bigger rucks and some how use the new rules to his advantage.
Adelaide seem to use the Freo model to stifle our ball movement and it worked. I think we will see this from other teams because we don't seem to work out what to do when the opposition starts the kick/ mark game.
Anyway hope the players, ciaching stuff and MC have learnt from this game.
I think we need to try TDK back, Pitto ruck. Gov, Kemp or Young don't look to be the second key back. One of them plays as the 3rd, which ever is fit apparently. We can't play H, Charlie and TDK fwd at the same time. Badly miss a third hybrid fwd like SOS or Martin. No wonder the interest in the kid from Sydney.
I don't believe clubs do this anymore BUT Binns has been named as an emergency and could come in for Owies ? I dont think Owies is right. Would allows us to play Kenndy forward and Binns on a wing??
Fagan chnaged the way the the big O was rucking and we did not know how to stop or take avantage of what he was doing. We also let Coleman run around loose because we had a +1 at stoppages and it was not working.
Very proud of how the club got themselves pf the canvas and ened up playing in a prelim.
Glad to see some of us tickets. I got in a10:15 not bad i thought, yeah right. No cat 1,2,3, tickets available and i was only after two. Tried best available Q14 row z. Ouch but i am going. Go Blue Baggers.
Whilst I believe we’ll go on with it, we really do need to win next week to make this week count.
Amazing game. Could not be prouder.
BT or, as we refer to him at home ‘hindsight Hodge’ said - Collingwood had a 6 day interstate wet turnaround - does that matter? We missed Cerra after halftime, Walsh and JSOS entire game 🤷🏻♀️
Yes i remember them saying that loud and clear. I applaud Richo for coming straight back at them and said yeah maybe but Carlton are smashing them at clearances thats why they are winning. Some of the commentary from 7 callers sounded very bias at times for the other mob or maybe it was just me. AND not once did they mention the players we had missing vs a FULL strength other mob who also has a full list to choose from. So yeah this was a huge!!!!!!! win.
Our Club is BROKEN. First we tried using glue to fix things that didn't work. So we decide to renovate (good move) this hasn't worked. Where to now? Do we start selling assets and see what we can get back? Do we keep the same landlord? Do we keep the same property managers? I now have no emotion watching the games, i cannot even get angry at the TV (like we all do)
Pathetic effort. Pies toyed with us and then took the foot off the gas.
Totally agree. It looked to me that the Collingwood players treated us with contempt and new that they had to do nothing to win. Why because they we would give the ball straight back to them when we had it and we would kick it long in to the forward line to our best player (sorry) their best defender in Moore.
Ok were do i start. - Do our players know how to setup at centre bounces? - Do we have a system to come out of the backline after a point is kicked? - Do our forwards work hard enough up the ground? - Do our players know how to kick to a leading player? - Do our players know how to kick? - Do our players know how to make a good decision?
So we won (apparently) most of the stats last night except for the main one. THE SCORE BORAD. We will not be playing finals this year because there are not enough bad team below us for us to beat. Dont know what else to say, most of it has been said in the previous post, is this what we now are going to get from our club all the time.
I didn't expect to play finals this year. I have seen a massive improvement compared to last year. Yes this game was disappointing but it really did not surprise me. No way we can win any of the next 3, so we miss this year. Hope it stings the players so we come back better next season.
I was at the game yesterday, we seemed to be a little nervous/ star struck at times. Not sure if it was the large crowd or that the players started thinking we cannot afford to lose this game instead of trying to win. we started to look for leadings players in the last (which we did not seem to do for the first 3 qtrs). Anyway, I see this a a positive, last year we would of been rolled by 35 to 40 but we kept coming. A defender, a defender, my membership for a defender
What could Teague do then? Who should he put where? The midfield did not apply any pressure and our poor defense got absolutely smashed!
screw off to McGovern, sick of watching that half arsed effort. Unfortunately goodbye Willo, when I saw you run down for the umpeenth time, I told my family I’m about to drive to Adelaide to punch you in the face!
Newnes, nowhere. Casboult, nowhere. Murphy good time to retire, sorry it was a shocker to end it.
LOB I like you and I think you’ve got skills and I apologise profusely that this god forsaken crap club has not developed you better. Really I apologise.
Newman, you’re skating on Very thin ice with me.
Plow, if you fly for it, make sure you farking take it!
Saad, you beautiful man, you got screwed TWICE by the umpires and you are owed an apology by them!
Weiters, no matter how Jono Brown was trying to spin it, you killed Dixon!
Stocker and TDK, not sure what’s going on there but let’s reset for next year!
DT I’m sorry this Club decided that halfway thru a season was a great time to call a review - I suspect the ego of the incoming Prez is to blame. I’m sorry that you weren’t given good assistants or any support from the sidelines and you, like Ratts, Are in my thoughts.
To the Club, thanks again for ruining my day. Weekend. But more Than that - any board members reading - as someone previously said, by your pathetic governance and support of those in charge, you are ruining the careers of many young men! Get your heads out of your collective moneyed arses and set your egos aside, and do right by the players ffs!
Micky0, eloquently put. Was McGovern on the ground? I know Willo has only got one side to his game but sheesh, I agree how many times can this bloke keep getting caught
I will provide a quote on how i am and the rest of the Carlton members are feeling.
? I dont think Owies is right. Would allows us to play Kenndy forward and Binns on a wing??
