I do not think we are favourites this week, even with Mumford not there. Considering the weak efforts we've seen of late, I am not surprised. Just disappointed!
I hope this week's performance is an improvement.
Did someone tell the boys that the game has started?
Did someone tell the boys that the game has started?
Apparently not. :(
Game over.
Gotta love the way we stick with zone defence.
We're on a roll, we have a point.
Game over.
Its not game over until we kick a goal. If we kick 2, we are away.
GWS look to be down to 20 at the moment. Time fr the sub?
.....and we're back
Not looking good for us at all. Lucky the margin isn’t worse.
I thought we played the red time brilliantly.
Then Toby launches the torp on the siren from 60 and of course it goes through. ::)
Can read us like a book
Toby Greene goes okay. Already pretty much at his average goals per game.
2 late goals given away.....AGAIN!!! Too hard for our paycheque players.
Has there ever been a less talented club in the history of the VFL/AFL?
Docherty is just taking over Murphy role. Turn over at every opportunity and missing targets at will. So embarassing!
I think we need to have a review
Same non-contest, fumbles, burning team mates. Only difference, this is not a top 8 side.
Where's Williams intent against his old side 😳
Useless…..
At the moment there's a team out there and a group of individuals in Navy Blue :(
Do we know q2 has started??

Oh thats players? I thought that was just the GWS players shadows. We seem to be following them around watching them get the ball.
Positives.....Harry hasn't got near it yet. Nobody can hold him all game.
Negetives.....kicking from HB to HF. Too many turnovers, kicking to the oppositions advantage. Get the ball in the hands of Martin in that position, not Kennedy!
Martin can't run. His right leg/knee is stuffed. Sub him now. He's a liability.
Positives.....Harry hasn't got near it yet. Nobody can hold him all game.
....and right on cue...
All 3 goals from frees. Is that right?
All 3 goals from frees. Is that right?
Correct. Gifted scores.
North will beat us
North will beat us
They will.
This is sad.
Tackles 41-16
I am glad they mentioned 41 tackles to our 16. Do these guys realise this review will include players also?
Harry WTF?
Razor paying a free against Cripps was wrong.
Razor paying a 50 against Cripps because he told him he needed glasses is criminal.

Lucky it only cost us a behind.
Zero pressure...again
regulation red time goal conceded.
Easiest side to play against.
Easiest side to play against.
Lucky it wasn't 2.
Get angry Teague! Fire the boys up.
Tackles 45 to 20.
Behind in tackles, possessions, contested marks, means 5 goals isn’t that bad. Navy blue witches hats for a first half of footy. WTF can Teague tell them to change the second half?
Arguably one of our worst q's this season. Listless, hesitant, inept, passive. This might be the blow out game we've been practicing for.
My son has just left the TV. Off to play Fortnite with this mates. "No point watching this club, they don't even try". Well done Blues you've broken him, well done.

Disgraceful even by Razors low standards. Disgusting umpire
Tackles 45 to 20.
Says it all.
Game over if they don't pull out a miracle in the second half.
12 of our blokes have not laid a tackle.
Excruciating to watch. Just going through the motions.

Undisciplined from the Captain.
They've stopped walsh and its hurting us.
Cripps needs to lift now. Show that if you stop walsh, cripps will hurt you.
Arguably one of our worst q's this season. Listless, hesitant, inept, passive. This might be the blow out game we've been practicing for.
Disagree. They had a bit of oomph about them but just could not get a break.
Again we have that manning nothing, when they manned up guess what, GWS found it hard to get out of our F50! Pressure pressure pressure required! And a bit of ducking backbone and muscle to bulldoze some GWS players
I thought we couldn't reach a new low. Clearly I was sadly mistaken. haven't used this word in a while but that first half was INSIPID. We are going backwards at a rate of knots.
Excruciating to watch. Just going through the motions.
Its soulless Cookie
Seriously, does anyone care?
Players and supporters included!
Says it all.
Game over if they don't pull out a miracle in the second half.
I worry it might be a miracle if we lose by less than 50pts.
Undisciplined from the Captain.
What a load of crap. The free kick was not even close to being there, and razor can’t help but get himself involved in the game by calling 50, it wasn’t even a dubious free kick,
It was not even there!
Its soulless Cookie
You're right mate, there is no belief and when that is lost all is lost.
It's cliche
But too much is being left to too few...lots of passengers.
We're shot. Completely. Season aspirations totally finished.
Its soulless Cookie
That's a very good summation.
Still no emphasis on defensive play... FA tackles, FA intensity... clueless.
No Walsh means we struggle, this bruise free brand we want to play vs one of the softest outside teams in the comp is costing us.
Need another target up forward too, they have Davis back and we just cant bomb the ball long with three talls down back for GWS and hope Harry will mark the footy.
GWS rucks have about 10 games between them, we should be dominating the ruck..
Liam Jones holding the fort down back and Docherty has been handy but its hard to find good players...
You're right mate, there is no belief and when that is lost all is lost.
We are starting again it seems.
Just a waste of time supporting this lot. They just don't care enough.
We unnecessarily stress week in, week out, year in, year out. Not so bad for us older folk as we have been lucky enough to see up to 8 flags, for that i have been lucky, for the younger folks though it must be horribly tough.
Undisciplined from the Captain.
Piss off.
The free wasn't there. Cripps told him he needs glasses if he thought it wasn't there which is a perfectly reasonable response considering the decision.
Razor is just a tool who cannot help himself.
Q1 -20
Q2 -30
Finding ourselves -50 at the final siren is not out of the question IMO.
What have the coaches got?
I am finally allowed to move outside a 25km radius of my house to enjoy some freedom and I choose to be stuck in my house like we are still in lockdown to watch this crap. Has that review started yet? Hurry the f@ck up and start already.
Just shows were we r at. Hod the kid and wow we struggle.
Put waits at CHF and have a crack…….
As expectations plummet, these loses are getting easier to watch.
If we can just lift our physicality and work harder we can get back into this game, GWS are not that great and roll over when its hard.
Its just a lack of effort and not contesting hard enough that is costing us...you look at Jones and he goes hard at the footy and has done well tonight. If players like Martin can lift and give us more we can still make a game of it.
This is a direct result of a decade of allowing players like Murphy and Gibbs essentially dictate the effort they're willing to commit.
No selection integrity and this has permeated through the entire club. If you're a high draft pick you're treated differently and you can be conditional in your effort.
All you people defending the crap efforts over the years of players like Murphy, welcome to your Carlton football club. The softest, most listless and uncaring group of players ever to wear the Guernsey. Well done! Hope you like what you see...
Michael gibbons is underated is what I've learned over the last few weeks.
Also, where's laj. Surely, there's some meanless stat that he can post...
Even though they're in front I actually think their entry into the forward line is a bit sloppy and most of the time we have them well covered.
Luke Darcey is right when he says the one thing you cannot manufacture is 'presence' - aside from Walsh and a bit of Cripps who else has it in our line-up? Maybe Eddie when he is on.
Soulless, skilless, pathetic. Jack Martin, easy kick to a team mate, turnover. Disgusting.
The day was coming when Walsh was going to be held and it was up to others to lift and we are struggling.
Time for Teague to get inventive and get Walsh a position where he can still get the ball but lose DeBoer as the tag..
Put Martin and Williams in the middle and tell them to start earning their money....

Maybe its our worst result (thus far) in a couple of years because Murphy is NOT in the team? 8)
Even when he is not playing you are blaming him. ::)
There is a psychiatrists couch with your name on it. Use it. You need help.
What a load of crap. The free kick was not even close to being there, and razor can’t help but get himself involved in the game by calling 50, it wasn’t even a dubious free kick,

Really? Remonstrating with the ump telling him he needs glasses is good is it? 50M penalty is good is it? Captain above criticism is he?
Also, where's laj. Surely, there's some meanless stat that he can post...
Hey idiot, I don't often post stats. You are such a dumbass that you that you get your posters mixed up. You are a disgrace. The single useless poster this site has ever had the misfortune to have.
Sorry mods. Needed to be said.
Really? Remonstrating with the ump telling him he needs glasses is good is it? 50M penalty is good is it? Captain above criticism is he?
Whether Razor was justified or not, a gesture like that leaves you open to giving away a 50. I've seen umps in the past pay a 50 when a player implies they're blind or have vision problems.
Walsh getting held at every contest.
Really? Remonstrating with the ump telling him he needs glasses is good is it? 50M penalty is good is it? Captain above criticism is he?
There are 30-odd umpires umpiring in the AFL.
Only 1 of them would even contemplate paying that as a 50.
If Cripps didn't point out that it was a bad decision we'd complain like we did when Plowman didn't complain when SPS got pinged for holding the ball at the start of the year.
SOS just yelled at the umpire for calling it over the line, no 50m was paid then.....why.....it wasn't razor in charge.
Just a positive in some of the gloom...I reckon Kennedy is going OK and giving a real effort tonight.

I'd like to see his disposal efficiency. Barely hit a carlton target all night from where i sit.

Yeah he seems to be covering the ground a lot better. Working hard.

73%

Surprising.
Found 2 GWS jumpers when going inside 50 earlier tonight.
They're more than double our score.
Double our pathetic tackle count. Not bad for the softest outside team of the competition!
Goodnight folks. I'm off to find an enjoyable way to spend the evening 👋
Open the floodgates. We get a goal that isn’t from a free kick. Watch us grind them into the dirt now.
Thats twice tonight Dow has used a spin to good effect..
John Barker must be happy he is gone.
We don't deserve to be any closer than we are, but some better accuracy (13 shots to 14) would make things interesting, and at least give GWS something to think about.
Spanner - we get it you hate Murphy. We Alllllllll get it because you rarely come on without commenting about him. He’s not even playing.
Cripps is trying his heart out, razor is a duck head and any opposition supporter would agree that free was not there for a start and then to demand attention over Cripps showing some passion and give it 50 was a disgrace. Pure and simple
Got it back to our standard 4 goal margin.
Where to from here?
We've got some momentum.....can we get a big run?
Harry is on now. Feed him!
If you don’t think that 50 Was wrong, tell me - is hitting it out of Hs hand just now after he marked it, NOT a 50? Give me a fcking break
All aboard!
Should have been 50, knocked the ball out of Hs hands then remonstrated by screaming in the umps face.
4 in row, where did that come from
Belief!!!
We're a good wet weather side...it started when the rain came.
Dow has done a bit tonight. We might just dig out of trouble here.

Should have been 50 twice I agree
Our backline seriously.

4.6 since they scored. Our 5 goal run on!
Our backline seriously.
Blame the spare GWS midfielder there. All they had to do was find the spare.
Umpires gifting frees out of the centre to GWS
What is it going to be. A 22, 23 or 24pt loss? Lol.
What is it going to be. A 22, 23 or 24pt loss? Lol.
All our losses have been between 16 and 28 points. We average 22 points.

I best run with 22 then...lol.
@LoveNavy - COME BACK!!!
Thanks. I'll change chanel back.
Spanner - we get it you hate Murphy. We Alllllllll get it because you rarely come on without commenting about him. He’s not even playing.
Just want to make there's no misunderstanding! 😁
If you bothered to read what I said it wasn't directed at Murphy, it was that he was one of the reasons why you're witnessing this shyte. But hey, obviously English is your second language, so I'll let that slide...

Haha good one. English is the second language of my parents but first for me - shows another side to you that you wrote that so won’t give you much more time.
Your comments don’t stack up with kids like Walsh and Weiters in the team tho so you’re commentary is redundant.
They haven't put us away.
Big character test coming up.
1 Darcy is a flog
2 JSOS such a hard worker

Direct reason was the wording.
While this game is somewhat still in the balance. I'd like to direct you to the scoreboard.
15 scores to 18. Yet we are down by 17.
Bad kicking is bad football.
1 Darcy is a flog
2 JSOS such a hard worker
No argument from me
We are no chance of winning this game.
Its all
@LoveNavy 's fault.
We do better when he's not watching.
Drop punt close from goal Harry. Drop f@#ken punt you stupid c@#t.
Toying with us
Drop punt close from goal Harry. Drop f@#ken punt you stupid c@#t.
As Darcy said, he kicks at 80+% from snaps.
Goes down the other end and finessing a goal.
Disposal has cost us this game.
Finlayson is pretty good for a pick 85. We've been wasting our time at the wrong end of the draft lol.
GAME OVER.
Any wonder Doc has been playing on a wing, fumbles in defence
Docherty FUMBLES ALL THE TIME!!!
Biggest margin for the year if it stops here.
Docherty fumbling all night, actually all year.
No Walsh, No Carlton.
Been well held tonight.
.....even illegally! lol
I'd look in the mirror when you say that as you're not very bright at the best of times.
Oh stop it laj! Your comedy is mind blowing. I need to get out the sewing kit to stitch up my sides! 🤣
Docherty fumbling all night, actually all year.
I think he's done. Not half the player he was. Sad but its time to look past him now.
There’s actually not good tight core to this group.
Need to rejig the leadership group.
I respect all our players but our leadership group need to be - Cripps Walsh Weiters JSOS Saad.
Apologies to Doch, life has been unkind to give 2 knee recons then cancer - absolutely unfair. But unable to hold himself to a higher standard than others now. Sad but true.
Laughable.
Bring back Barker lol.
That was a great result. After being 39 points down at one point in the third quarter, we only lost by 6 goals. Hey guys here we go towards the bottom 4 on the ladder.
Yeah forget my predictions of 9 wins, we'll be lucky to get a couple more this year. Disaster.
Saad must be wondering WTF he's done.
Oh stop it laj! Your comedy is mind blowing. I need to get out the sewing kit to stitch up my sides! 🤣
Before you do try putting a brain in your head before you stitch. Be a waste otherwise.
Thank Christ we've got Adelaide next week.... Oh, wait a minute...
Hey for $300,000 per season I am prepared to be our key mid field player, senior coach, team shrink, water boy, boot studder, d1ck and ball scratcher, team selector, endurance conditioner, small forward, captain and motivator of the entire playing group. Just to save the club some money while they work this review out properly.

I think, to be honest, what we really need is an exorcist.
