We lost the game when kreuzer was lining up for goal and thanked it on the full in the second quarter.
Didn't get near scoring for two quarters after this.
Soul destroying stuff. He was within 30 of goal.
Not to mention Lang had 3 shots from almost same position on each occasion & didn't come close with any of them.....at least kick one ya spud, after 2 sighters.....
Lang & Fasolo can never play for this team again.....ever.
I don't even care that it was Essendon.......I sat there today & didn't utter a word the entire game, just shook my head a lot.
Cripps looked as though he had the weight of the world on his shoulders......Walsh is the only one who appears to look out for him out there. This playing group is done, they look confused, they play confused, the midfield & forward line are so out of sync it's embarrassing to watch....the players, the supporters, no-one cares anymore....I cannot believe we've actually gone backwards from last year, didn't think that were possible, but here we are.
The thing that annoys me most is that we've got some serious talent out there.....we really do, but this bloke (Bolton) just can't tap into it and it's time for him to realise that and do the honourable thing. He's had a decent crack at it, the Club have certainly given him a decent crack at it, but now he has to swallow his pride, put his hand up & say "I've tried, but I've failed". Bolton is a likeable guy, he clearly loves the gig & wants to be successful at it.....and good on him for that, but he now has to take stock of his performance & admit that his time done.....for the sake his reputation and the future of the Club we all love.....
- Cripps & Charlie.....'nuff said. - Weitering's best game by a mile for quite some time.....I actually felt assured when he had the ball in his hands & that hasn't been the case for far too long. Welcome back son, as shawny said, amazing what a difference having the confidence in your ability back. - Kennedy's best game for our Club by a mile.....finally got to see the value of the guy we traded for. - Really liked Paddy Dow's game.......was his best mini-me version of Cripps yet, burnt off Treloar at one stage.....loved that. - Apart from 2 really, really bad turnovers, Jones was excellent. - Daisy was very solid. - Thought Samo's game was pretty good, although he does lack awareness of the proximity of opponents around him at times. - The overall effort considering the circumstances.....
The bad:
- Was sitting in the MCC, couldn't believe it when I saw Casboult walk of holding his hand, then down the race, how's the friggin' luck.... - Mullet & O'Shea......words fail me. O'Shea played 75% game time, 10 possessions & scored 8 SC points (he was on 1 at 3/4 time)......that's horrendous. Everything he touched turned to poison, was the Pies 27th player (the 4 field umpires were in front of him). Mullet kicked a goal & a seriusly don't remember seeing him before or after that.... - The umpiring was abysmal......the number of unrewarded tackles by Carlton players was as close to cheating as you could get.....
The biggest problem is, how many kids are being inspired to barrack for Carlton? I worry about our membership numbers five years from now, we've already been left behind.
Great post, we’re in danger of losing a generation of supporters....
