Just had a look at that "mark" of Yarran's again.
Quite apart from whether it was a mark or not....... (as Mick pointed out in the presser Brown took his legs), the action of Brown in grabbing his legs in mid-air was reckless and dangerous...and should have been at least a free kick.
Yarran could have been seriously hurt.

Just watching the presser, geez they let Mick off light, but I actually liked what he said, he was very frank but stopped short at pointing the finger or criticising the list. It's amazing how much easier it is to accept what he says when he delivers it in the right manner. That doesn't absolve him of the part he played in the loss but still, I was happy with the way he presented himself and I thought he at least did the club and it's supporters justice in that regard.

Why isn't Graham getting a game? Why wasn't he picked against Brisbane? He racks up possession in the VFL every week. I don't understand how David Ellard and Carrots get's a game and Graham misses out. What am I not seeing??

Agree with your comments.

There is no doubt, in my mind, anyway, that Mick knows exactly where this team stands and the cattle he has to deal with.

He was ready to explode last night, but kept himself in check.

Mick can and does everything he can to get those players to carry out instructions.

But for reasons that I can't fathom, they are a mentally weak team who when running onto the ground to start a game, always look like they just got out of bed. Sometimes, like last night, worse than other times.

I can't work out why, or whose fault it is.

Then when they do get on the ground, you have your usual suspects who don't put in. You can start with Gibbs, and go from there.

Players who won't put their bodies on the line for there team, can't exist in todays game.
That's why we need to trade Gibbs and hopefully get some decent draft picks of boys who have shown in the under 18's that they are prepared top risk life and limb to get the ball.

I recall asking this questions a number of times over about the last 5+ years... when have we beaten a very good side in very good form?

crap I "hate" my team. If they weren't such lazy b@stards with a poor work ethic they could've beaten Meblourne and Brisbane and been 6-4 with a game against a struggling Geelong to come.

But no, not Carlton. Too much like hard work.

7-3 if we beat Richmond, which to me says we are not as bad as everyone thinks. Let's not forget we had Port on the ropes for three quarters.
