Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 11: Carlton vs. the Drug Cheats

My expectations are low this week. I don't see us playing well in the wet.
Live Long and Prosper!

Not as low as mine.  If we do win, it'll be a thin margin

Well I'm not expecting much but would be delighted to be surprised.
Reality always wins in the end.

Wouldn't it be fantastic to come back here at 6pm saying we can't believe WE WON by 10 GOALS?! And how well did they play?  That's what we've been waiting for, to see that!  Yes, now we see where we've been aiming at for so long...

Fingers firmly crossed  O:-)

Is the forecast for wet weather over there? If so, would probably rule Kerr out...hard to see them going with 3 talls in wet conditions. It might mean Polson gets a game in those conditions?

90% chance of rain but I'd still bring in Kerr to run through a few of the CheatsFC on-ballers at ground level, stop them dropping into the space.

The players who are probably least effective in the wet, at the moment anyway, are Charlie and Marchbank. Haven't seen enough of Setterfield to know how he goes, Kennedy goes OK in heavy repeat stoppages. So won't be many clean hands on the day so it is likely a get it forward and score type event. Maybe McKay comes out if Charlie stays in, but at the moment I'd say McKay is better value across the ground and at ground level!

SoJ quite good in the wet.

Don't know about Stocker or Schumacher in the wet, haven't seen enough.

As I predicted, we handed an undermanned CheatsFC a victory. I think this is lower than low for our Club. Just terrible, I have this suspicion that was Boltons last game, it's beyond reasons and excuses. I have tried to maintain the faith but I can no longer. I have no faith in the list, the coaches, the board, CEO, the entire club. I feel like we are back to square one. Gutted.

Fun fact...not, seniors and reserves lost by 41 points. If nothing else, that extremely consistent right across the club.

Cripps is mentally broken, and poorly coached as a midfielder, tactically.

Even an VFLW midfield coach knows if you have a player being hard tagged you send them to an opponent, the hard tagger will follow and you create a loose man for your own team.

Instead we allowed a 1st year go one on one with him for the whole game, and he keeps battling one on one, which lets the CheatsFC players run free off him!

Barker is our midfield coach!

I've been a big Bolton fan, but he's either gone now, or at the bye, in my mind it makes no difference either way. We are embarrassing, and we will continue to be no matter what happens
