Moved from Saturday at the MCG to Thursday at Marvel. We play better at the MCG.
Not a good start.
Not a good start.
Very poor. :(
Steele owns Cripps and we are being over powered. The lack of manning up is very evident.
How slow is plowman to react. No wonder teams go thru him so often.
The umps are against us as well tonight.
We have to stop their movement of the ball. We're getting flogged.They are owning the contested the ball and moving the ball to successfully. We have to make more turnovers.
They're always against us. Theres a reason our first quarters are usually so crap
Simmo day's are numbered....
But beaten across the park. Whipped in the middle....Crippas 3 touches, Curnow less?
The umps are against us as well tonight.
They certainly are not helping. One Holding the ball not paid, then an in the back paid Holding the ball, two metres apart. Not good.
Good coaching from Ratts... put the clamps on prime movers effectively and we didn't and haven't responded or reacted well. Another P1ss poor 1st qtr.
This will be a very good test for our coaching group... being out-smarted at present.
Regular programming has resumed
We need to change the two worst match-ips: Cripps on Savage, Doc on Geary.
They have their tails up.
Look forward to Docherty getting tagged every week now, someone needs to lift us with Cripps being held.
McGovern un sighted and too many soft tackle attempts.
They certainly are not helping. One Holding the ball not paid, then an in the back paid Holding the ball, two metres apart. Not good.
Terrible decisions.
The one positive is they should be further in front.
No over but if the trend continues, will be over at half time.
Any chance of moving doc further up the ground
Ugh, why are the 50-50 decisions always given in front of THEIR goals? >:(
That hurt
Just a stupid centering kick
What is it with us making average players or kids look like stars.
Happens all the time.
Cripps can't be a 100%.
He's not moving anywhere near like he normally does and that's not just down to the tag.
Can Setterfield please screw off
With Carlton it is definitely above the shoulders. Going down and winning in Geelong shows they can play so why won't they switch on and "want" it consistently. That is the most annoying.

Slimming down has made him lose his point of difference.
We're getting slaughtered.
If we come screaming home and lose by 2pts i'll scream.

This is the 12th time in 16 games under David Teague that Carlton has conceded a 30-point swing within a match. @AFLcomau
It reminds me of THAT game vs the Cheats when Carazzo got taken out. Men v boys.
These Saints guys are too tall and too fast.
Got ahead of ourselves... believed the publicity... still psychologically very, very soft... apply bona fide pressure and it always happens, we go to jelly... maybe folks will believe me now about Newnes - he's no longer up to it and this is why the Aints got rid of him... something not right with Cripps... this could get very ugly, if not for Martin!

Steele beats him every game..
Mcgoverns opponent is BOG... A SANFL battler..

Pretty damning that.
Mobility is not exactly our strong point.

They are smashing us in every stat and every facet of the game. 10 goal drubbing minimum. Agree on Newnes, very bad when you play a sticker against your old mob.

Spud McGovern 1 Disposal in a half
Only positive is Martin's form. We can't play any worse or can we?
Harry and Levi barely better.
In fact they're all putrid tonight.
Sickens me that they only turn up when they feel like it.
I’d be tearing paint off the walls if I was Teague
Weakness personified, they’d better lift
New drinking game of having a beer every time McKay falls over...
OMG! The room is spinning!!
Think about it, they go and get a successful fwd in Roughy to head up their fwd line coaching. Who's ours, Cam Bruce? Hmmmm.
We haven't changed, no physicality and always look intimidated. Unless we get players who like it tough and can stand up and help Cripps we won't be any good.

not the issue, getting smashed in the guts then when we do get our hands on the ball we move it as slowly as treacle or cough it up.....
That said, our midfield coaches are...? :o

or spud McGovern flying for a ball and getting nowhere near it

Should have gone hard at SPP in the off season.
I'll call this early because I thought it already anyway, the McKay, McGovern, Levi setup is a dud.
McKay needs a full season in the 2s, how he came straight back in is a mystery and a miracle.
The dumbest turnovers done by our seniors. Faking McGovern what the hell was that pushing the ball BACK into play for an easy Saints goal? Is he for real? Has he got $ on Saints to win?
Yep believed the hype 🙄 pissed off
anyone remember the last time they were proud to say they supported the Blues??
We just carry too many 'B' graders to be any good. Get seduced when they show a glimpse but in the main they can't sustain the form.

re Cripps
Slimming down has made him lose his point of difference.
If you look around the field we have a lot of skinny guys.
Not all of them are youngun's still developing.
Have we sacrificed size and strength for a greater aerobic capacity.
We can put in the good finishes but many of our players get brushed aside pretty easily when it becomes a strength contest..

It's mental laziness. No side's physically stronger than Geelong. It's application. Turning up to compete when you feel like it is not good enough.
Only thing we have going for us is no side feels safe when 5 goals ahead of Carlton. We can't keep coming back from disaster all the time though.
anyone remember the last time they were proud to say they supported the Blues??
Yes, when we came back to defeat the Aints last season!
Umpire chips in with another one
Jones you fwit
wtf are we the dumbest side in the afl or what
Well done Martin our best by FAAAAAAAAAAAAR
So near, but so far. So much effort for so little reward.
But we are working so much harder!
Settlefield's goal all Jack Martin...inspirational play by Jack!
Crippa, you need to work on your kicking!
We couldn't buy a free to save our lives.

My God.
How much of this umpiring CR@P do we have to put up with before we cop the fine and say something. F ME
AFL and umps hate us. It is beyond a joke the bias. Teague needs to do a Clarkson.
The Umps slaughtered us in that last 5 minutes. Amazing how they couldn't pay them to us, but they pay a nothing free to the Áints at every opportunity. Throws, push in the backs. Interference in marking contests, you name it, they don't pay it to us.
Townsend said it: Really interesting test for Newnes tonight. If you can’t produce against the old mob, you never will.
I know not why we bothered.
Martins smarts makes me realise how many dumbs we have!
First time Pittonet has been clearly beaten. No drive from the middle. And everything is going their way, even the bounce of the ball.
Game over
So many players down tonight. We don't want it enough.
People pinning their hopes on Mackay, good luck with that.
Like I said. Return to regular programming. This club is an absolute joke.
How the screw can you have so many first round draft picks and none can kick or understand what is required at this level. Year after screwing year.
Casboult 5 touches, Mckay 4, Spud McGovern 3

Its not the umpires fault, we arent good enough. Cripps is Steele's bitch.
Our blokes have put up the white flag now, pathetic
Free kick count?
Guess that answers the question of who is better out of Carlton and St Kilda.
Free kick count?
saints 19 blues 17
I've seen it all
We have the dumbest players in the comp by far
The umpiring is not to blame but fck me it has been LOPSIDED
3 goals flatters us
Outplayed, outcoached, intimidated.
3 goals flatters us
Maybe, but we certainly gave it a go after half time.
Pittonet and Cripps beaten, Doc held, end of story.
