Malthouse blamed the loss of Menzel and Jamison!

Losing Menzel really hurt, he'd been very busy and everything he does is classy.
When he did the ankle he got straight up, layed a tackle and won a free kick, he will become a very good player.

But recall some saying, injuries are no excuse!

One thing is for sure, karma is a bitch!

I'm not looking for excuses, we were outplayed.
Our skills are so poor that it becomes infectious, players lose the belief.
When Yarran kicked a goal in the last quarter we needed three to win with about 10 or 12 minutes on the clock, plenty of time but no one revving up or urging, the body language was that of a team resigned to losing.
At the next centre bounce we coughed it up again with a simple handball error and that was that, we packed up and left.

Sure reads like an excuse to me.

Calm down.

Melbourne have gone past us in just three games, we all know who to blame many just don't want to say it!

Match Reports;

MRP is going to be busy.

 - Carlton reported for faking, faking to be footballers!

 - Malthouse, reported for faking to be a coach!

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

I work two jobs, have a young family, mortgage, cars loans etc like most on here. Over winter when Tassie is bleak and dark I have one thing each week that I look forward to, sitting down and watch Carlton play. Even if they don't win I can't least watch a team trying.

Instead what I've got this year is an empty feeling, my club talks itself up, has a coach on millions, players on hundreds of thousands, getting around asking for my hard earned and loyalty with memberships and raffles and merchandise to support that crap.

This team has taken my love for the club and wiped their arse on it and what's more, they will rock up to training be told what they did wrong and look to next week to deliver the same sh1t.

I've heard how high pressure it is for players at clubs funnily enough by other players, how about these players drop their salary to 10% of what their getting, don't have a contract so they have the very real axe of unemployment sitting over their heads when they don't perform and see how high the pressure is then.

Unfortunately Murphy, Gibbs etc have never had to fight for their spot in the team they can play like rubbish and still get a game next week.

Ryan Trainor if you come lurking again this week like you do often then take back to the board this question, why should I pay for a membership to give Malthouse and the players, massive salaries and all the perks when they don't even try and have no consequences apart from some bad press for the week? Yet for me, it rips my heart out. I look at my club and feel disgusted at the lack of heart. I look at other clubs who play with effort and feel jealous.

But hey, Malthouse will hold his press conference and deflect as many questions as he can, maybe berate a reporter for trying to do his job or bully a camera man for eating. Where is the public scorn of the players? Sticks will release a video via the website and Swann will go on KBs show joking around and saying how next weeks effort will be better. Then the Bulldogs will give us a lesson on playing with pride.

I've had a gutful.

Heard Sticks on 774 before the game and his final comments were to the effect of, "Calm down everybody, we're not that bad."

Joke.

I wouldn't be giving Hendo shight most overrated footballer going around ATM.
