All ready for tomorrow. I'll be at the game! Expectations are not that high, but ...
Might be a tough day at the office today, loss of Jones & Daisey not going help our cause. Go Blues
Nice goal Murphy, experience non flushed, awesome
Great indidvual play Sam Walsh, great goal
F*** me.
Sam Walsh just locked in the rising star nomination with that goal.
Great 1st quarter against the premiers from last year.
If we manage to pull off a win, Teague should win the job.....and coach of the year!
F*** me.

Was locked in well before that!
Harry, just has to hit those ,
Was locked in well before that!
He was missing the 5 second highlight reel to show non-carlton folk. That was it. Now the 'world' will get it.
3 goals to Newman. ;D
Our boys finding Darling a handful. Jones would have been so important here
3 goals in 3mins to the Eagles. Not fecking happy with that.
Umpires stepping up

Shuey involved in them all I think.
He's having a blinder so far.
Need to slow this game down, we are not going to win a shoot out with the Eagles
This is looking crap. Get ready for a belting. WTF has happened in this second quarter?
OK, so eagles have had their run, got 20 minutes up. We need to hold steady, maybe get 1 back before the half, and wait for our momentum swing to kick into gear.
We can't drop our bundle. We are good finishers and just need to be within touching distance and get a sniff.
Losing our way. Endeavour is there, but sheesh, the back half is not functioning.
Thats a good time for the siren.
Regroup and come again after the break.
We will get a run-on at some stage, we just need to make sure we kick some goals when we do.
At one stage early on we had 15 out of the past 16 inside 50's. Scoreboard didn't show that though. We gotta hit the scoreboard.
Our “runners” are getting smashed.
They are a powerful running machine the eagles.
We need to control the footy early in the third.
Make it more contested
Losing our way. Endeavour is there, but sheesh, the back half is not functioning.
Really missing Jones and Daisy down back.
Midfield needs to chase harder, eagles are moving it far too easily through the centre.
Walsh is a GUN. Silvagni is classy
Stop Darling
Regroup at half time... we're still in this... ????
Much bigger bodies, we look tiny in comparison.
Thought the boys did well, just a few messy passages.
Gosh my love for JSOS grows every game. Just a smart smart footballer.
Have barely sighted Setters, Cripps, Kennedy in that quarter - just hold tight and keep close and we can finish well
Lost concentration & our handle on this. Still in it. Pressure telling on our guys , these guys are a class above of who we have been playing. Control the bal , play on our level.
Sub optimal start to the quarter
Can any of our players run at pace above a jog?
Remember that smashing we haven’t had for a while? Here it comes.
Who is playing on Ryan?
They have 9 of the last 10.
Well and truly done. I never once expected to win, but this is turning into downright bad.
Stopped to a walk by comparison with Q1
What were you thinking Simo?
Stupid from Simpson. Killed momentum.
This footy is becoming p1ss weak by us.
Looking like we were pre-Teague. No run, no real intent, not a lot of pressure. Frustrating to watch.

Looks a bit pre-teague in terms of maturity out there.
The loss of Jones and Daisy pre-game, compounded with Curnow, Kreuzer, McGovin....Thats a lot of talent and/or experience we don't have out there today.
Schumacher is not ready for AFL football and it shows. Against the premiers is not a good game to try and work that out.

He has been rubbish. His confidence is shot.

I've never saw anything in him TBH, even watching the VFL.
Probably should've played Casboult in defence and brough De Koning in. Played Stocker instead of Schumaker.
Lang x 2 disposals.... I hope they were good ones..
Harry with a bit of class.
Hope he gets a good pre-season next year. Will be a big year for him,
Walsh has had a blinder. Could become anything.
Pressure telling , experience overwhelming against us. agree loosing Daisy and bring in Shumacher maybe a mistake could have been better options
Harry with a bit of class.
Hope he gets a good pre-season next year. Will be a big year for him,
Yes was good, but not a lot from him in recent weeks. Is there an issue with him? I know he has got touches today, but not in the way earlier in the season
Just tooooo many passengers.
Honeymoon over.
Can't possibly give Goddard, Schuey and Lang games next week.

No Charlie or McGovern to take the focus off him.
If there was an how ourself lose then this is it. Nice goal Newman, great reward with 4 today

Jones, Kreuzer, Thomas and Cunningham in next week.
If anything we're a persistent lot. Didn't let it get blown out like it would've been a couple of months ago.
So we lost by 4 goals. Lost to last years premiers.
Bloody good effort I reckon. Had Daisy and Liam J been out there we just may have won.

Quite possible. Walsh, Newman, SPS very good today. Murphy went well as did Simo minus the odd brain fade. Never want to see Schumacher or Goddard again in the senior squad. They were horrible.

Schumacher was probably very nervous. Reckon he'll be ok eventually but this was the wrong game to bring him in for. Experience will help him though. Something now to take with him back to the VFL. Be a nice bonus if we can get a pick 74 to do well.
Would've been better playing Casboult in defence, instead of Goddard, bringing in De Koning, and Stocker instead of Schumacher.
A few had shockers - Levi, Harry at times, Setters, Lang.
Was hoping for a win, first quarter awesome, then they got on top, glad we kept At it

Forwards got a bit sucked up the ground again. We've done well lately with them staying in the 50 but the pressure of playing the premiers in form, almost at full strength, can do that and revert to a few old habits.
When they kept taking intercept marks i was hoping we'd revert to the dirty ball going into the 50 then keep it there with pressure.
