Nice snap from Menzel to kick start Carlton.
Not a good start, shaky
Waites left knee heavily strapped....hope he can last the game out!
A 50m to Menzel seals our 2nd :D
Our clearance work is putrid
TM > CY
smashing us at stoppages
if not for their inaccuracies, we would be 5 goals down
We aren't getting any run. Look awful at this stage.
Fortunately for us the Bulldogs are missing a few.
When one of our players goes to ground after the ball there is no back up.....so the opposition are just taking it away!
tackling is woeful, they have so much space - murphy started where he left off
How does Rowe continue to get a game. ::)
Im gonna call it, we are gone. Our blokes look stuffed already. Our fwds are terrible with the ball in their hands.
Ball must be very slippery cos we are fumbling every touch.
body language doesn't look good already
No intensity from us at present.
Just going through the motions
body language doesn't look good already
they look lethargic to me
why isn't Graham playing?

They look like they don't know what or were to go with the ball. Look lost.

Agree. We still have a lot to play for. Port lost today so we can go one game closer to the eight but you wouldn't think our guys are working toward that looking at the way they are going about it so far.
They are all too worried about who'll get the ar$e at the end of the year!!!
19 to 10 inside 50s their way
I'm lookin forward to............
Mad Monday! :P
Once again we have too many watchers and not enough doers !!!
I can't believe this. They are killing us and only 6 points up :o
spewing I didn't have 300 on WB
So, what has happened to this once proud club?
No player wants to play for the jumper.
They all seem to be playing for themselves.
We are officially a disgrace
Once again we have too many watchers and not enough doers !!!
Problem is they don't look like they know what to do. FMD this is Pagan days.
We're missing Kreuzer....oh and a midfield!
Sounds like I shouldn't but... is there anywhere I can watch live streaming of this game?

I've been concerned for a while that our players seem to be more focussed on whether they're carrying out MMs defensive instructions correctly and have forgotten how to play instinctive football.
I have seen enough, good night all.

Thanks Tex :D
Just like against Port and the Suns last year under Ratten
They want it more. It's a bit hard for us.
We're missing Kreuzer....oh and a midfield!
we are missing heart
And Kreuzer has a big one! He gives his all, which is more than I can say about some of our players out there today.
What time does the cricket start??
Seriously....weak as piss at the moment.
Bring Yarran on.
good lord, maybe we have started tanking?
i will say Menzal can play he has a footballers brain..
Commentators suggested that if Judd doesn't no one will.
As much as it sucks to hear it, aint that the truth.
I can't believe how soft this is. We should be further down and it's look like it going to get worse.
The other thing I have really noticed is the lack of leadership no talking no instruction giving just simply nothing.
www.viplivebox.eu
murphy is playing for free kicks like I ve never seen before
Something is very wrong at Princess Park
Lucky goal from Curnow
Who got subbed? Watson?
Armfield getting a few nice touches
Curnow trying hard and that was good reward.
Who got subbed? Watson?
Think so. Saw him hurt his ankle earlier.
We lack so much in the middle gibbs has to go in there
Ok they just showed it. Looks like Watson.
Who got subbed? Watson?
Think so. Saw him hurt his ankle earlier.
Yeah Watson subbed
Glad that half is over ??? Only down by 15 but should be more.
Glad I chose Princes Park rather than Etihad!
I got to see our blokes challenged but in a close one, steel themselves for a good win (3 goals).
Nice sitting on the blue wooden seats on the cemetry side watching a good game... warm sun streaming down.
Had a giggle at 3/4 time when coach got his players together for the big talk before resuming for the final quarter... Coach: 'How are we using the ball?'
Robbo: 'Fkn around too much.'
Coach: 'Exactly right'.
Getting home in time to watch this poor excuse for a game... how undisciplined and confused do our blokes look. Someone previous commented that it looked like the Pagan years - yes. Agree. And gee we really are starting to get into the habit of carrying blokes. Murph looks like he's trying to play to an instruction rather than using any of his natural abilities. Are we trying to mould a fox into a tiger?
Cant win a stoppage and our usual tackling issues are apparent again.....we may win this due to the dogs being such poor converters but if we had been playing a decent team we would be 5-8 goals down.
Gibbs disposal concerns me....has had plenty of time to hit up targets but doesnt make his kicks count often enough.
Thought Watson was going ok till injured...
Bootmsa isnt big enough to take either Grant or Jones and I am not usre what he is doing down back on bigger players...this has been an issue before and Malthouse continues to get this wrong.
Betts has been better this week, Garlett well held...
Waite has done nothing but at least has been physical...Henderson been ok witha couple of goals, Rowe has had a couple of markd but hasnt done enough.
Menzel...couple of goals and shows some class...
Warnock and Rowe have probably broken even with Minson in the ruck its just when the ball hits the deck the Dogs are like terriers in pursuit of the ball.
Murphy, Brock and Judd are not really effective and while Curnow and Cachia have not been too bad they are trailing the Dogs mid to the ball most times.
Touhy and Walker have been unsighted, Simpson has worked hard for not much result and Scotland while picking up kicks hasnt done a lot with the footy.
two overcooked kicks from Yarran...apparently he has class?
Walker shat himself
Pick 5 midfielders start your quickest player as sub and wonder why we are getting smashed in the middle.
Wonder if Mick still believes we are a better side than the start of the year.

if he does he's kidding himself
Walker is having a shocker swap him and waite around.
Bootsma doing a great job still not one player going to the kid and pat him on the back. Shocking leadership
Gee, same old same old - apply bona fide pressure to our blokes and so many become panicky.
Mick's lips are going blue! Don't have a heart attack mate!!!
Walker is having a shocker swap him and waite around.
been carp all month
Juddy
Touhy....... may be in the Top5 in the club.
Yarran could learn something from him re: application
need a bit of Tuhoys mongrel further up the field
How good is that Irishman on the run?
Haha no one wants to chase.
This team is cooked.
I hope this is not another false dawn, where in the 3rd quarter we fight back but they then run away with it in the last because we have run out of legs
Bootsma starting to look the goods this qtr

We should be running twice as hard having more to play for.
About 5 guys should walk off, go to their locker, get out their paychecks and hand it to C Judd
Curnow is doing really well
Walker starting to get lose.
Frrk the umpire pays that head high. He Frrrkn ducked.
Judd down.
We are shiiiiiit at the stoppages
We are shiiiiiit at the stoppages
Being murdered at every clearance. Warnock has no presence. Minson killing him.
So that's Watson, Judd and Garlett all injured, no chance of running out the game.
What irks me is that this is the sort of stuff that teams like Essendon end up winning but we fold. Ok, maybe CheatFC is not a good example ;D
No coverage up here, only online scores and a goal down at 3/4 time.
Hopefully haven't run out of steam already.

dont think we have a clear winner on the ground

Where is the defensive pressure goal side???
Poor midfielders are run off their legs.
Now no Judd and Curnow with cut eye leaves us with 3 mids.
with our season on the line i seriously dont like our attitude, hopefully a few get the old red slip in there locker shortly

No rotations Shiek, they will need to dig deep, which they haven't done al year.
"3rd kick that hasnt kicked the target"
Chris Yarran
Get rid of him. Pathetic.
"3rd kick that hasnt kicked the target"
Chris Yarran
hasny he only had 3 kicks as well?

We use to have speed, now we look like a Volkswagen.
Bootsma :-\

think your being harsh on the Volkswagen there
games over
seasons over
This has zero to do with the rotations. Bulldogs have killed us.
Falling in a heap. This is the end of season 2013... get the sickies into surgery, play the kids.

Yes, but makes it harder to run out the game.
Amazing.
Playing for a spot in the finals. Rewind to the Suns game last year.
Insipid

do we have any Kids??????????
Dumb decision be walker to go inboard,
Season over. We are losing to Western Bulldogs FFS
Season over. We are losing to Western Bulldogs FFS
UNFKNBLVABLE
Our resurgence was short lived. We're the walking wounded but this game was lost before all of the injuries.
Yep, 2013 is effectively over for the Blues :(
Almost 100 more disposals than us but we have 10 more free kicks
Rowe is not even a good story anymore, its sad.
I'm outta here, goodnight all.
Dwayne Russell has lost his crap.
did we sleep with all the umpires wives/gf in the off season we have gotten raped by the umpires all yeas ffs
we should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute
How and why we can't handle the pressure of expectation???????????????????
I hope no one is upset about this loss.
The fact is that we have not been good enough all year.
Yes, you will point to games where we were three and four goals in front coming into the last quarter. We got beaten because we are not good enough.
We lack foot skills. We lack hand skills. We can't lay a successful tackle to save our lives.
We continue to play players who either are not up to AFL standard, like Rowe, and players who aren't ready, like Bootsma.
The fact is that we don't have the cattle. Mick, is a very good coach, and sometimes he can do the impossible but he can't perform miracles.
The best thing that has happened, is that we have lost any chance of playing finals, and that's a great thing. That's right it's great. because we aren't good enough and would be an embarrassment to the the finals even if we were to take Essendons place and get in by default.
The other reason that it's great that we won't make the finals, is that the club will show no mercy, I hope, and clear out the deadwood and get some players
that can kick and hit a target, handball and can hit a target, and tackle and make the tackle stick.
If we made the finals by default, and that's all it would be, the club might show some mercy to players who don't deserve it.
Mick has got three weeks to play some kids, Graham Buckley etc, and see if they can measure up.
Goodbye 2013
Bring on 2014, our 150th. year. Hopefully it will be a year to remember...............for the right reasons.
We use to have speed, now we look like a Volkswagen.
Denis... Err I mean Mick has sucked the flair out of this side.
They have no idea where to go, who to mark, where to kick.
Feel sorry for the mids, smashed with no support.
Are we tanking? Or are we really that crape!
With this defence first mantra....we scuk big time
Hard to believe Murphy could fumble so much.... but he's had plenty of mates. Talk about a group with absolutely no confidence!!

Absolutely 100% agree - if you're at the game you can clearly see the players have nfi what is expected of them!!! MM FAIL

laughing stock atm

Yes
Very sad to see the season end up this way. Whatever issues I had with MM, I wold have been more than happy to be proven wrong if he could get us up.
For those that say we are "going backwards to go forwards", then I sincerely hope this is the case.
Waiting for 2014 I guess.

The super coach has turned a B grade side into an F grade side.
Malthouse has shown in his selections and complete lack of match day nous that the game has passed him.
A Hinkley coached Blues would have won 5 more games this year.
MM is a fraud.
same old same old. Blues manage to lose to a crap side, well below them on the ladder with nothing to play for when finals chance still there.
IMO forget the finals chance - its no secret we'd be making up the numbers - its the lack of mental toughness that's been a trademark of CFC since we got raped over the salary cap saga.
I'm over it. MM gets 2014 to show me that there's a chance we won't continue to be a laughing stock. If its more of the same I'm going to become a GCS member >:(
