17 posses from Cripps is pretty good - anyone see him up close?

Flattered him - don't get sucked-in by a stat count, he looks as slow as the Queen Mary. No better than any of his spud teammates.

Not one player deserves a semblance of credit out there today......no, I tell a lie, I'd give a half ounce to Yarran & Simmo. That is all.

Surely our illustrious, over-governed Board has to make a decision.....HAS to.....today was a defining moment. All the talk coming out of the Club all week....Sticks, Macca, Mick, Murphy, anyone who had a microphone shoved in front of them, was that last week was unacceptable & that a performance like that won't happen again....blah, blah-fcking, blah - well guess what? It happened again & this time it's worse.....much, much worse.

I cannot remember a worst captain of our Football Club either in my lifetime or via any reputation from before I was born. Marc Murphy is officially a laughing stock of the AFL right now....he absolutely is.

Last week I was embarrassed....this week I was ashamed. When was the last time our players were booed by our own supporters? It happened today at 3/4 time & it was fully deserved....AND it didn't change a thing in the psyche playing group in the last quarter, as yet more rubbish-football was produced.

Apart from the obsession with the boundary line, I have absolutely no idea what our gameplan is.....and no-one can tell me they do from what they've seen this year. We get the ball across half-back & simply go sideways every single fcking time across to the other flank, then have nothing to kick to. If, by miracle, we do get a possession forward of centre, we have absolutely nothing to kick to.

We simply don't have enough players on our list to replace all of the never-to-play-again muppets we've got clogging up our list. Curnow finishing 4th in our B&F last year is a serious indictment on this list, as he is a complete & utter hack with the ball in his hands.

Sam Rowe: you coming back from cancer is a great story but you can't play for crap. Lachie Henderson reverted back to 'bad Lachie' today....the hopeless Lachie of 3 years ago. Warnock is a useless piece of crap around the ground. I can't wait for Gibbs to fcuk off back to Adelaide. We gave James Frawley every reason NOT to want to even entertain the thought of coming to Carlton no matter how much we might've been prepared to offer him. Kane Lucas is simply a horrible footballer, Zach Tuohy can catch the next Air Lingus flight back to Ireland for all I care, Davey Ellard has a crack but he's just not good enough, Carrazzo is as ineffective as he's ever been, I thought I was watching Everitt in his Bulldog days today, Jamo was a sch!t-truck, Scotland got worse as the game wore on, Casboult isn't & never will be the answer, whilst Walker played possibly his worst ever game.

There are absolutely zero positives to come from this result.....except that it is now officially clear, that the playing group & the coach are worlds apart.

Fancy the Club saying that there was a meeting during the week with the players to confirm they were all onboard with Mick's gameplan, only for Mick to come out and refute any such meeting took place? Are you fcking kidding me!?!?!? Classic case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand's doing = rabble.

So - what do we do from here? This is as low as I've felt as a Carlton supporter in recent memory. This Club does not deserve our support right now....it doesn't. It won't happen, but I'd love next weekend's game to be devoid of Carlton support, as a protest en masse against the coach, the President, the players, the whole damn sorry excuse for a Football Club. You show us you give a crap & we'll do the same....

Wow.....this has really got me rattled. To produce that after what we produced last week.....wow......
