For that reason we don't have the luxury of bringing him back through the VFL.
If he's fit he has to play...That doesn't mean he's match ready after a five week break.
He's been OK for us this year before he was injured.

Sadly though he'll never be better than OK, and that's on his good days.
It isn't his fault and I have no beef against him or any other Carlton player, but it's symptomatic of our malaise.
Too many OK players, far too many.

He's now a 100 game, 7 year player, the sort of player who needs to stand up when the team is under pressure or being badly beaten.
It's high time we stopped making excuses for him.

That's quite right...I think a lot of Casboult's problem has been some folk expected him to be Fevola and he's just a fair, average player.

Boltons' presser was full of spin and little else......Freo had a younger team on the park, it was lack of effort coupled with a poor game plan.
We need a close contested game where it aint pretty and we can scrounge and bite our way over the line, you look at the first half and there are Freo players loose every where. Tuckers goal was about as easy as it gets, zero pressure and its clear our defense dont understand the game plan given where our players were standing in relation to the ball.

Bolton needs to lose the spin, youth excuses and lift his game in the coaches box and start reacting earlier than he does......I dont care if we play 8 men back but do something....12 goals straight and in the manner they scored isnt acceptable and he needs to take responsibility and not talk crap about culture at half time and 40 new players etc....effort and planning was what was lacking IMO in the main..

If Barker and others are not up to providing Bolton with the right info to act then they have to go........

I just want a game plan that plays to our strengths, especially in winnable games. If he can't do that then  he can F off. Wonder if the job is beyond him at his stage of experience. My personal preference as coach is in the box, David Teague.

Maybe, only maybe, BB is too much of a teacher, maybe he is unable to let go of the reigns!

Maybe he, and our club, doesn't have the guts to give the AFL the finger and play a game style that suits our kids!

I think Carlton merchandising should be selling signed commemorative white flags after yesterday's performance.

Just about every other side plays that way now. This is the lowest scoring season since 1968.

Pretty sure the AFL and anti-Carlton media have that stitched up already. E.g. see afl video the round so far. Starts with Carlton are inexcusably sh%t.... ends with the same.

We are all very quick to go the coach.....easy target IMO.

Only have to watch the replay of the 1st half when there was some pressure on and see our so called senior players (we all know who they are) turn over regulation 20-25 metre passes time and time again. Our senior players skill level is that far below par its laughable.

Put Clarkson in the coaches box yesterday and the result is the same IMO. You can switch players around and make all the moves you like and have the best game day plans in place but have a senior core that cant execute the very basics and you get results like yesterday. Its as simple as that.
   
Need min of 8-10 decent ball users and boot out the hacks we continue to persist with. Couldn't care less if they are A, B or C grade as long as they have clean foot skills.

More of the mould of Fisher and no more Lamb, Kerridge, Graham, Lamb, Rowe, O'Shea, Mullett, Casboult types. I could keep going.
