Very poor. "Out coached" is probably simplifying it a little but, as the commentators said, the Saint's structure and general management/direction on the field was more assured and rehearsed.

Silvagni as any sort of marking target is just Hail Mary stuff.
SPS is just a tease. Gets a 'pass' for the two run down tackles.

Positives:
Cripps, Walsh, Kruezer at least saw out the game, and honorable mention to Casboult.

I disagree on SPS, the first one he was clearly jogging half heartedly until the St Kilda guy stopped and propped - he had no choice but to show a bit after t hat...
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Cripps was held under control by Steele who also had 10 tackles and Kreuzer IMO struggled vs a makeshift ruck in Marshall.

Clear as day we need a new ruckman who can dominate a game and we need another big onballer who can take over when Cripps
is held to just a good game.

The list needs work and SOS has to be held accountable.....Stkilda are carp and we should have won easy but its more than just Bolton IMO, we lack talent
and need to review the list and do some more structured recruiting to fill the many holes we have.

eg Some say to drop Dow then you look at replacements...LOB, Polson, Lang, Garlett, Lebois.....we are having to look at Deluca because of the spuds we have...

How is it Brad Scott can get the ass from North with their list, and a 50/50 win record and we have blokes on here still defending Bolton?
We were absolutely terrible today.
We cannot move the footy with any structure.
We always hang on to the footy too long, looking for a perfect disposal.

Nothing that we haven't seen before.  They hunted and created, we did not.  Nothing will change without a game plan that's well executed.  We don't have one, at least as far as I can see.  They swamped us with their options and we watched. 

When we had the ball?  Hope.

Sounds crazy but this is starting to feel like an existential crisis.  :(

We have a heap of first round picks on our list.
They are not playing anywhere near there potential.
The coach is responsible for this.

That would seem to be the compelling conclusion - we just don't seem to have a clue.

Watching us and being a supporter of the Carlton football club is like having a close friend that is a crack and ice addict. You care so much with passion, yet you don’t know where to start to help. You know death is near but your hands are tied.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Sadly effort wasn't the issue today we are just not good enough folks. Have the weakest list by a country mile, coupled with no depth. Only had Jones and Doc out today and yet the skills are deplorable with a non existent game plan. Wont win another game for the year and time has now come for a change.

This is the dumbest team ever assembled - Needing 2 goals in the final 2 mins what so we do - I have an idea lets FARKING chip the ball sideways and even back wards FFS and then take the pace off the game before finally kicking long towards he boundary line. That a new level of stupid.  Pack of numbnuts.  

We are 4 years in....have one win out of 10 and sit ancored bottom by 2 games and percentage....another wooden spoon headed over.  Worse is despite building this group over the last 3and half years we STILL have no game plan, HTF does this happen!!! And the lack of development of the draft picks and trades we have backed in for this rebuild cant be ignored any longer or excuses made for it.

We have all been patient but enough is enough. The short man and all his coaches must ALL go now and a new established coach with proven line coaches to come in before the year is out.

I really hoped that this would work but it's plain now that it hasn't, we haven't improved one iota this season and have probably regressed.
Players with high skills like Petrevski-Seton are making basic errors under little pressure, our confidence is shot to pieces and the senior coach must take responsibility.
It hasn't worked, Bolton has to go.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Much of the sloppiness around the middle and the shamble that is our forward line are more down to assistant coaches. For all those bagging the head coach the focus needs to be on the effectiveness of our midfield coaching and the link up forward.

Gosh we are so hard to watch.

Kreuzer needs replacing, had zero tackles for the game and doesnt influence games and we have poor depth, agree the coaching aint great but the recruiting needs to be looked at....another bandaid in Deluca about to be picked up. Too many pretty 1st round picks but not enough footballers willing to put in on the line...eg Marchbank got bumped off the ball by a midget like Parker at a crucial time, we are so soft and  fragile its sad to watch. Kids like Stocker flying the flag and having to put up with zero support.

Very graphically put Mants. Feels like being mesmerised as we watch oncoming oblivion. Something just has to give...........and soon. I really feel for all of our young guys as their AFL careers are possibly frittered away.
