Bottom line is this.

If they come out with the same attitude that they played the first half, they are gone.

No sign of the fast breaks , and drilled play we have shown over the last few weeks. Playing the game on the saints terms arm. It was evident in the first 15mins of the first qtr no direction, trying to play the short game , got caught out quickly. We did not seem in the zone from the first bounce. Hope we can re aim in the second half and control our play better

19 down at the long break.
We need to improve at clearances / stoppages.
Went OK when we got first ball use - just not enough of it.

Hope to see Crippa and Gibbs lift for 2nd half to give us a chance.

Docherty and Plowman have been solid. Love to see Byrne get his hands on ita bit more.

Go Blues

Simply put, they beat us easily in the clearances and out-pressured us all around the ground. We also missed a couple of easy chances late in the second. Anyway, I thought we were beginning to look better late in the 2nd so let's hope we can get our act together after half time.
Reality always wins in the end.

We're getting murdered at the clearances and Casboult, Everitt, Walker and White are having very little influence.
Abundant skill errors, indecision and poor handling.
It's hard to see a turnaround but if we get out of this it will show some real character.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Cast your minds back to the first quarter against the lions last week. We played exactly the same, but the Lions couldn't take advantage of it.

One more thing. For a bloke whose now played the game for around 7 years, Zac Touhey is one of the great disappointments. He has absolutely no finesse with his ball handling, can't think under pressure, and gets caught time and again. I wish he was half as good as Sam Doc.

This week the team has been pumped up in the media as "playing finals", coach of the year", rising star of the year" and "all-Australian" - who knew??!!

That's another thing that Sh!!!!!ts me. How are we supposed to kick goals when there is no one in the bloody forward line!!

Bombing it in, playing tentative. Miracle required.

That was sickening. Cripps gets the ball, and guess what, no one to kick it to up forward. What the hell is the coach doing??
We have kicked 5 goals in a half. We do the same again, we aren't winning this.

My pet hate, the amount of times we have broken on the wing & half forward , had to turn around , go back , side ways etc because we have no structured forward lines. We don't see what the players can see at the time, but have to assume there is no clear Orion or at least a contest to kick to. . We then seem to turn it over and it's costs us.
