All ready for tomorrow. I won't be at this one: my younger daughter is having a Dancing Competition at Kyabram.
5 minutes in and already miles off the pace, gonna be a long afternoon >:(
What a joke
Not looking good, terrible start. Ive just about seen enough.
I am dead set gonna turn it off in 5 minutes.
Very sloppy start, Freo all over us ATM, lucky for 2 posters we would really be under the pump.

If we dont turn it over, we give away a free.
Great vision by Daisy , finds Wright
Hoo farken ray, we found a man free in front of goal...and he misses a sitter...and he's the best kick at the club. What hope have we got.

That really can take the wind out of your sails, do the hard work miss a sitter, and it was Wright, normally bank on him
Wright won't miss many of those. Oh well, overawed by his 150th.
Hopefully the overall lethargy is down to the bye. Hopefully.............
Rowe - regulation mark under no pressure dropped, freo player picks up ball and goals.
Game Over!
Might need to sell 5 dollar tickets next week.
Game over, see ya guys, Im going shopping.
Lack of pace across the field is really showing up, our smalls and mids are half the leg speed of Freo.
It leaves our defenders continually outnumbered and under pressure, and it means our KPFs are always against 2 or 3.
Major Clanger by Rowe , cost us a goal, simple skill errors dropped mark by Rowe, Daisey missed hand pass , cost us procession & scores.. Really opened up here. We seem to give up the easy early goals , then we chase the rest of the game.
rowe just gives up on a chase?
wtf?
this is getting ugly
Seriously what fff
This is the worst we have looked all year .....ZERO INTENSITY....wtf have they been doing the last 2 weeks :o
Bad mind set already set in, we are watching instead of making the play, so we have to chase
Great build up involving a bunch of players but Kreuser shot hit the post, story of the qtr
Poor skills, but Bolton has a lot to answer for. Players are not up for it. Zero intent. And that’s part of coaching. And the game plan is dreadful. Starting to lose patience.
Bolts needs to respond to this as much as the players
Bolton can stick his green shoots, he won't be coaching Carlton next year.
Why bother to turn up if you roll out this sort of crap
i often hear, there's a good vibe around the club
im starting to think the liberal mindset has infected this club and its intake of soy milk during the week affects hardness.
They actually enjoy being football cuks

Green shoots. All I see is weeds.
Green shoots. All I see is weeds.
not CFC
they play like they're on THC
That was absolutely pathetic. Zero intensity matched with deplorable skills. Unwatchable - I have an 8 year old son who is so resigned to us being a basket case he’s happy if we get beaten by less than 10 goals.
On Fri I was thinking of staying in Melb instead of going back to the sunny coast, change flights, 2 night extra hotel, mmmm made the righ decision u fortunately, this is sad
On the screen these dumb c**** are telling us to sign up as a member!
Reckon if they were for free not many would grab one after that crap.
Our skill level on basic things is u believable , by hand or foot we can't keep the ball
For the last 5 years Neale has killed us, today he is carrying a knee injury and he is still killing us.
Our lack of leg speed, outside run and intensity across the midfield is destroying our club, it's clearly an area our recruiters keep getting wrong!
Of course on Etihad our lack of leg speed is amplified, yet our club signed us up to Etihad as a home ground venue!
Would fans even roll up to watch this if the club was paying them to do so, it would need to be a tidy sum! I was almost tempted to go today, I never go to Etihad I hate it as a venue, thankfully my feelings of hate got the better of me and I stayed away!
Rabble.
I see BB and Barker putting their heads together in the coach's box to work out what to do... blind leading the blind?
Dummer n dummer

It might be time for Barker to go I'm afraid, he's been through several coaches and we have not really seen much improvement during his tenure. Even as a 2IC or assistant, we haven't really seen much structural or match day improvement during his tenure. Our player development remains deplorable by AFL standards.

Yep. Old/experienced head needed to mentor BB (if he stays).
bolton looks into thin air, shakes his head and mutters "fk me"
like a spectator.
not good
As bad as I have seen us play for yrs, we are the meek, being lead.
We might not kick a goal

He's finished.
Our green shoots have become mould...
Boy we really want that first draft pick
This cr@p is indefensible.
Players look clueless/directionless.

Know how you feel, I was ready to do the 5 hour round trip... but decided against it at the last minute... phew, dodged hours of misery.
He's finished.
he might be, but im quite sure, no one will want to come.
This game will be a defining moment in the club (not a good one)
New game plan we aim to kick to there players would give us a better chance to get it to our players I think, this really is a joke.
We must be #1 in the league for turnovers and pin pointing passes to opposition...
Boy we really want that first draft pick
If we are tanking then you'd want the Board and football dept senior people (SOS/McKay) to be sacked on the spot.
How's Silvagni going...??
At least we're leading the free kicks... even the umpires feel sorry for us.
Gotta feel sorry for all those committed supporters sitting in the cold watching their team being crushed by an average side, which, by the way, has far more inexperience in it than our side.
11 goals down, how does a player in Ballantyne get 30 metres on his own in front of goal?
If we are tanking then you'd want the Board and football dept senior people (SOS/McKay) to be sacked on the spot.
Sorry mate I was looking for a positive ....
the irony is, we have the umpires on side

Barker? I think you’ll find that the buck does not stop with him. At this rate they can all get fired. This is a disgrace. The players are representing what the coaches instill and train them to do all week. And no one is impressed. There is going to be some big changes at the end of the year if we end up with less than 5 wins. I hope we don’t get pick one. Or if we do, then we trade it out for more picks in the top 10. We need Mids more than a Lukosius. Blind Freddy can see it’s our biggest weakness. Every week we are chasing tails. Gibbs is gone and Murphy is limping into retirement. Sorry, I’m just upset that the basic desire is simply not there by our players and the coaches, who have had two weeks to come up with a multitude of scenarios to counter any opposing strategies for this game, are looking like novices.
the irony is, we have the umpires on side
So that's why we are going so bad, first time that's happened.
Kruzer alone in the square , ignored , mindset is not on at all. Defining moment
Well I'm glad I didn't go today, and I'm now not even going to go to the MCC next week!
In fact I think I'm done for the AFL season, I'll do like I did late last season and go to watch suburban footy instead!

World Cup tonight !!!
this club is not up to AFL standard
the only thing its good at it is, mindless virtue signalling ie respect, equality
what about theft and deception from supporters?
Complete lack of energy, desire, we are behind at half time by more than we average scoring most weeks.
Goodbye Bolton, you're useless. Couldn't get them up for the game, refuses to man up Fyfe, Neale, Mundy....
Don't want to single out players but Lochie O'Brien, did we recruit a footballer or name the wrong kid on draft day? And I can name ten other blokes in the same boat.
Apparently we don't need a priority pick. My fat arse.
What will we lose by?
And this is the side whose management are not going to apply for a proirity pick?

Team was just booed off. Terrible look 3 years into rebuild.
Played some crap footy over the past 10 years but crowd is really pissed off. Members around us going off.

on what grounds? we need 3

i was a supporter of his and i like the guy, but there's no way back from this.
He's not the only one. SOS can join elshaug along with all the other in the box
Can't believe that utter spud Barker is stealing oxygen in the coaches bin, because he was useless as a caretaker and even more useless on match day
I call it a bin because it's full of rubbish.

It's looking that way, Carlton needs to cut the cord to the old ways, we need to stop being a nice AFL citizen and give the AFL and big "FU"!
Based on pre-Bye form this should have been a winnable game.
Maybe Lyon wants out of Freo and is angling for BBs job in front of SOS and the other Carlton influencers!
Disgraceful. I reckon the rabble of 2004 would be fifty points up by now. I have never in forty five years supporting this club seen a more disgraceful performance. Kerridge, Graham, Wright spectators, should be dragged off by security and fined ten grand for invading the pitch.
Rabble. crape. Dishonouring the jumper.

If your putting blokes in the bin make sure it’s big enough to take Graham, kerridge, Rowe, kerr, lamb, O’Brien.
In this situation
Backs forward-Forwards back
It's all we have left! :( :( :(
I think it's time to call last drinks for Simmo, Daisy, Ed, Rowe, Wright, Kerridge, Graham and Casboult.
I'd give Daisy and Ed some credit, but they have no other gear they can select, so it's just bad luck they are stuck in the pile of sh1t we deliver!
Despite what the kids fork up, you cannot have seniors players delivering tripe around them!
Children learn by example, what example are our 30 year olds setting?
Lang a front runner, no Holy Trinity to support him, no performance to deliver, another Smedts? We've been dudded by the Handbaggers too many times, no more deals to be done with them unless they pay way way overs in our favour!
Plowman, a shadow of himself, injured, I hope so or else it is sayonara sunshine!
Too many of our players are only good footballers when they are playing next to greatness!
The heart is out of the club right now , it's a long way back
Lamb is a fraud as a footballer, utter skunk of a player. How he is still on our list..... The compromising photos must be juicy.
These guys are not playing to win a game any more they are playing for any creditablity they have left
Our MC may as well retire Kerridge, Simmo, Rowe, Lamb, Daisy, Wright, etc., etc.. They are not the future and if we are going to lose like this then lets not do it sneakily, lets just come out and commit to losing big time and show some of the kids the hurt!
Lamb is crap. Playing him is tanking.
The malaise we find ourselves in is club-wide. Sacking Bolton is knee jerk stuff, and won't solve anything. We've been there before.
2 goals to Kruzer adds a little respect to a shambles of a day

No, I think one or two games like this you can survive, but not this many waning efforts.
Ratten got sacked based on just one really bad day in a otherwise injury riddle season, and in reality you'd say excluding Judd that Ratts had half the talent available that BB has! Ratten had a team full of Kerridges!

By U18 standards..

X2 most depressing. How does CFC survive this cr@p. Maybe it doesn't :'(

Off to Tassie
Goodbye Kerridge, effort isn't optional.
Simmo 18 touches for the qtr showing some heart, but energy is just not there from many others

Both our men's teams and both our women's teams are crap.

If you deliberately tried to do this under the AFL/AFLW system, that is deliberately try to create a completely crap club, you would probably fail! So how can it be, even if we were left to our own devices a 100% failure would be a 50/50 proposition!
We must have had help to get this bad!
We must be the result of our own misadventure, as well as external forces! ;)
Even an imbecile tossing a coin will be correct 50% of the time!
Whatever life our club had MM removed and then buried, unfortunately BB just isn't tall enough to climb out of the grave, and he is still surrounded by grave diggers!

This is seeing the forest for the trees. The next coach will simply be sacked in 3 years time. The club has to look at why it has a long standing culture of poor decision making.
Dumping Lamb, Rowe, Simmo , Graham etc as mentioned by several might a nice thought, but who would want to come here?
What is with these short passes to the goal square to no one in particular?
Heard on ABC, Sellers says he stays away from Princes Park.
He said he has had his time.
I feel that the older boys should come back and mentor the juniors.
A little selfish I thought
Lamb's duck ups have, directly or indirectly, cost 8 to 10 goals today. Surely that's it for this Muppet.
Thank god that's over ...
Bolton talks about green shoots but all the other club's kids are performing better.
Yep. Why?
Out-played, out-coached.

Our kids dont have the elite talent to help them and tend to be smaller and lighter...its hard yakka being a little kid on our list.
55 tackles only...Freo's bigger bodies just brushed us aside, they are crap on the road but still destroyed us...

Fremantle and North were just as crap as us last year and both destroyed us.

Both were well advanced in player maturity and coaching experience compared to us.
