Carlton Supporters Club

There not good numbers for a midfielder which is where he mainy played last night.

I must watch a different Motlop to most.    Yeah, he needs to finish his work and makes some poor decisions, but he does a lot right.   Adds a different dimension at stoppage.   5 clearances last night.   Only behind Hewitt and Cripps.    I can't see a world that you wouldn't play him or even trade him.

What did he do?

I missed it from where I was sitting.  Its a shame, because we are crying out for a player to stand up and fly the flag.  We sighted for football acts, not anything resembling physicality.

My eldest son was a fairly handy tennis player in his teens but rarely put in any effort which use to frustrate me no end. In the end he agreed to pretend to try. I am not sure Carlton actually tried last night or were just pretending to try.............................

Agree the effort was up compared to the previous weeks, skills/execution have been substandard for weeks.

We are the new St Kilda.  Happy with effort

The people who Bronx cheered Tom are a special kind of stupid.

The fans sitting around me started bagging the team 10 mins into the first quarter.

We have terrible supporters in amongst the good ones.  You hear the same old crap from the stands.  "man up, go faster, go harder", too much handball, kick it, we need more run with forward handball. 

Its easy to see all the options from 150 metres away, but on deck when they look up the ground, they cant see everything in 2 seconds, and are not looking downfield when concentrating on getting the ball out...............................................................................

Completely disagree about Tom. He is nowhere near the player he has shown he can be and every single person knows he has checked out.  It’s become a bloody farce and the Collingwood cheersquad singing the Saints song was embarrassing imo.

He needs to be dropped immediately. He provided nothing last night and you can feel it sapping the energy out of the games - the constant speculation.

I am No Bronx cheerer but enough is enough -
Let’s go with youth.

On that everyone is saying so and so is crap bring in youth then you get these young guys with stuff all senior exposure making mistakes and people
Are now saying they’re not good enough, delist them! Give it a break - they’re kids and working their arses off coming into a team
Down on form and a dozen injuries! Being asked to do what our senior players haven’t done!  Give them a chance and give them support - there is some talent there that needs to be backed in.

I think the club has tried to be professional about Tom but I don’t think he’s responded, if skull goes ok in the VFL I’d swap them

I am a little shocked by the fall of Fog, I once considered him one of our more important (role) players, right now he is  "pay out" delist material.  Then again, I also considered him one of our "barometers" and his form matches ours so I guess it tells a story.

This is true, let’s not forgot who we played, we are not in their "league".
