We're officially 8th now it seems so best we bring our best to the game. After last weeks effort I dare say they'll be contrite enough to put in as they did against Richmond following an insipid loss..and if my grandma had balls she be my grandpa.
We'd have been ok already if McInnes had've marked instead of punched...
Have you seen the way they play compared to us? LMAO. I dare say it's you who hasn't watched enough of them. I'll happily sit down and watch them play for enjoyment purposes, I watch us because we are Carlton, nothing more. In fact if I wasn't a Carlton man our side is the last side that I'd choose to watch play.Its simple really, Norf will win because they have to, we will loose because we have to win. Its in our DNA.
They've turned their compettitive losses into a couple of impressive wins in the second half of the year, we've just dropped off. So yes, our second half of the season has been disgraceful whereas they've shown, at least IMO, that they're going places.
They're the exact same as us. A close competitive loss for us is disgraceful but for them it's going places? Turn it up.Have a crack with P2C and put your money where you mouth is then MBB.
Ive actually calmed down now and my blind rage has passed. I actually want to take the Cheating Scums spot in the finals now more than ever. Why? So I can rub their drug ridden faces right back into it and know that it will piss them off no end. Fark CheatsFC.
I have never been so angry after a game in my life.
+1. Still.
Yarran did seem to be around the contest a little more last night cookie which does make you wonder, no Garlett = more space for Yazz to work with? Also, could it be that the three amigos' collectively poor form is actually down to there being one too many up forward? Obviously the three have played far better in previous years with Yazz down back.Did we make a selection blue though? Jeffy played in the reserves, he could have played last night and moved Yazz to a HBF to cover for Walkers absence. Perhaps Yazz problem at HB is his lack of D. Just saying.
I fear for his mental well being after accepting coaching this rabble.Fair enough Big Jack.
Then I ask the Question again. Why pay out Ratts at $900k or whatever and bring in mick for $3 mill if we fundamentally can't improve the players we have. Seems like a waste of money... no?
Because Mick knows how to build a list and run a club.
If this is indeed the case (and admittedly has been proven), then 2014 is gonna be a VERY big year for Mick.....very big.
Not fit enough!!Jamison in particular looked like he was dead set gonna die in the last qtr.
Too many fade out, too often overrun.
You can look mentally soft when you are physically weaker than the opposition. They have no belief in their ability to run out a game.
They need to have the off season mantra of 'fittest and strongest' in preparation for 2014.
Dick always said get the best, now find the best conditioning coach in the business here or OS.
Alot of assumptions that you, me and everyone here no fark all about. Happy to hear constructive criticism but suggesting stuff based on assumptions and possibility doesnt sit right with me.I think Malthouse/match committee/whoever made the call to bring in Joseph stuffed up. How many run with players did we have last night? This was magnified when McLean went down. We were breaking down along the wings because we had no option to kick to because our guys didn't want to leave who they were tagging.
TBH I don't know WTF MM was thinking bringing in Duigan and Joseph. They're not the future and they won't be here next year. Duigan cracked in hard at times and Joseph wasn't awful however, this is not in line with developing the side.
You miss the point, the Match Committee consists of Sticks Swan McKay MM and Wiley
Assuming the MC makes majority decisions, it is possible that MM and Wiley did not want Joseph at least.
We have a President and CEO that does Board and Football matters.
Carlton is a dinosaur.
and would be every chance to knock the off. As opposed to our bunch of softies who will go into a game touted as being "Master vs Apprentice" only to embarrass themselves and the club once again. No thanks. Lets focus on next year starting today.I honestly hope to God Norf knock of the Filth next week, we their % at 120 odd, they will go in ahead of us. They deserve it more than our pea hearts.
If that does happen North would then play Collingwood again the next week.
Shades I wrote it off weeks ago. And youre right, nothing to fall back to when the going gets tough. If you swapped J Selwood for M Murphy last night and we win, plain and simple. But then again, why should it be up to to one man, there's 22 out their playing a team game. I realised last night in little snippets and passages of play how many individuals were playing for themselves. One classic example was Betts in the last qtr taking a difficult snap when Menzel was virtually free in the goal square.I was at the game, our boys tried so I don't get the lack of effort comments. We're just not very good.
Dominated the game largely. At one stage had 16 of the last 18 scoring shots. And lost the game of footy.
Just mentally inept. And nothing to fall back to when the going gets tough. This was Ratts biggest failing, yet 12 months on I see nothing has changed.
I guess we can write off the season now, most supporters were happy to anyway.
Frees were actually 20 to 17 our way. Hit outs 41 to 23 our way, dont know how many to advantage. They laid 22 more tackles and we kicked 20 behinds to their 9. Its not the first time this has happened and along with our fitness is a high priority to be addressed.Some telling stats in a 6 pt game;
Carlton Statistic Essendon
73 Marks 106
50 Tackles 72
9 Goals Kicked 12
20 Behinds Kicked 9
2 Rushed Behinds 1
31 Scoring Shots 22
29.0% Conversion 54.5%
48 Inside 50s 56
Free kicks?
Hit outs (to advantage)?
