Away we go. :D
Forget the off field stuff for a couple of hours
Let's hope for something positive. ;)
Tutt just screw off
Positive hey....
We weren't losing for a whole 139 seconds! :D
Tutt just screw off
Ooh tut tut.
Jones running hard and presenting...good grab! He can do nothing for the rest of the quarter and still match Watsons output.
Everitt must learn to tackle harder... and hurt with his tackles...
Free kicks 4-0.Gibbs hasn't touched the ball.
Free kicks 4-0.Gibbs hasn't touched the ball.
....and was limping.
zero pressure. zero hunting. zero goals
zero pressure. zero hunting. zero goals
Still think we are playing better than we did last week.
I know the mids must put pressure on but is there any danger that some time this century, a Carlton defender can watch the ball come in instead of watching his opponent non stop?
I wish racehorses were this predictable.
Good running into space set that goal up. Did not do that at all last week and thats why we couldn't get the ball out of our backline.
Yay
Simpson having a cracking... The rest are weak clints!
Touhy needs a a game in the the two-eys.
2E disgrace, again man watching the man.
Game over....
Ive seen enuf, night fellas.
Guthrie killing Judd
6 frees to 1. The one we got simpson marked it.
White. A man's gots to know his limitations.
Rowe. A man's gots to know his limitations.
Tutt just flinched.
Did anyone honestly think that Curnow would kick that goal?
Our skills are shocking - again.
I think White and Rowe have been pretty good considering what they are up against tonight.
I think all the boys are clearly outmatched in terms of talent, but at least they are having a crack.
Great chase, tackle and resulting free kick from Jones. Need more efforts like that from all the boys.
I wish racehorses were this predictable.
lol
Still think we are playing better than we did last week.
We are.
A bit more effort being shown...
Need to maintain it though.
Not sure they can do that.
Simpson has been very good.
I think all the boys are clearly outmatched in terms of talent, but at least they are having a crack.
The house that Mick built.
Unless you are 30m in the clear, 1st option boys.
I was taught that in primary school.
Read during the week that Gibbs' mother calls him at least 5 times a day... Mrs Gibbs, stop, give your son his aggotts, he needs them to be a man. No room for mummy's boys at the CFC
The house that Mick built.
So Ratten had us in a position to beat the triple premiership cats did he? Give us a break. We've NEVER beaten the cats at Etihad.....EVER.
Daisy showing some of that $750k
Daisy peppering the sticks and starting to get his radar in order. 2nd goal.
Good lead and grab from Jones. Showed more desperation in that 1 piece of play than Watson has in his career!
Still can't kick though....but we know that.
I'm trying to refrain from posting anything about the umpiring decisions :o
But our skills are the worst most pathetic bunch of useless U9's ever. >:(
That kills us
All that effort wasted with poor kicking
Is Zac as good as we think? Love to see him in an attacking role...
That's so frustrating.. just kick it into the forward and give them a chance..
Wheres Bell?
So Ratten had us in a position to beat the triple premiership cats did he? Give us a break. We've NEVER beaten the cats at Etihad.....EVER.
Pumped them in both 2009 and 2010. Kruddler, wrong again! You're hopeless!
Only thing you got right was they have never beat them at Etihad.
You're so desperate to be right that you're getting off in the corner every time Jones gets a touch.
Is Zac as good as we think? Love to see him in an attacking role...
Depends who 'we' is.
Back pocket role is one of the toughest to play IMO. Imagine having to play on Stevie J one week, Rioli the next, then Eddie...each and every week!
I think he does ok.
But do we really get the best out of him in terms of what he can contribute... especially in light of our present predicament...
At least thomas is doing something.
Murphy has been C grade this year.
Gibbs is playing a blinder.
Murphy has been C grade this year.
Who? :o
Well done Jones
At least thomas is doing something.
If he'd had the blokes around him that he thought he was going to have (when arriving at the CFC), he'd have been the icing, but now he is going to have to earn his cookies... and we should give him that chance. It's a long season ahead of us, not in terms of ladder but in terms of people. I hope Daisy sees that he has a chance to influence our club beyond his on field stuff.
Well done Jones
Already shown why he got the nod over Watson
3 steps and driven into the ground.
Surely that should've been Armys kick
Why play Armfield, below average footballer, not part of the future, doesn't provide much. But I guess we already know Mick isn't rebuilding.
Dumbest footy players ever ::)
never bitch about umpiring Geelong, don't freaking dare.

who are you barracking for tonight?
Clearly in the back, but that doesn't help your cause so i guess its easy to overlook.
I'm glad we got our matchups right
The Selwood cheat
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking Selwood and his cheating fuuuuuuuucking tactics
We could a taken the cheat... We chose Gibbs.. Hmmmm ::)
Why play Armfield, below average footballer, not part of the future, doesn't provide much.
He's the best of a bad lot.
Would you prefer Ellard?
Do we do any goal kicking practice during the week?
I just wish we'd demonstrated how bad we are at the end of the season... not so early.
There is nothing for CFC members to look forward to. Nothing.
Do we do any goal kicking practice during the week?
After last week, i reckon all our focus was just trying to get the ball into our own half.
Why play Armfield, below average footballer, not part of the future, doesn't provide much. But I guess we already know Mick isn't rebuilding.
His opponent Motlop has touched the ball twice in the first half. Armfield has killed his opponent.
Getting spanked by middle rung side. Menzel misses another. Gosh the skills are poor.
Stick at it in the second half. Might keep the margin down.
Why can't we kick for goal???
Next time Selwood ducks, tackle low and tackle hard. Real hard.
Wonder if the pro-Geelong syncophants on SEN will find the umpiring funny then.
Collectively I reckon we have the most unintelligent team of players in the AFL. Their decision making and thought processes are deplorable.
Our goal kicking is also at a absolutely miserable level.

Exactly
Tutt's made a few mistakes but still playing his best game for us.
Goal kicking mirrors confidence... which is currently in a pit-like abyss.

No, if he wants high contact, don't bother trying to tackle him in a normal way, just swing your arm straight across his head....hard.
He's going to get a free kick anyway....make him earn it. With a bit of luck, you'll knock him out.
I'd happily see one of our team sit on the sidelines for a couple of weeks to teach him a lesson about high frees.
Supercoach Mick forgets that the there are more than two marking forwards in most sides and forgets to man up Murdoch - Everitt is the ideal match up. Fair dinkum, does this bloke have a clue?
He's the best of a bad lot.
Would you prefer Ellard?
I'd prefer Graham or Buckley TBH. Any bloke that's part of the future.
His opponent Motlop has touched the ball twice in the first half. Armfield has killed his opponent.
And given away a few goals by turning it over.
Tutt's made a few mistakes but still playing his best game for us.
He just needs to think quicker and dispose the football as soon as he can. Not second guess and think too long. He still gets ignored when in space further up the field.

I've had to adjust my thinking and accept that Carlton get shafted every week by the umps, or I would go nuts worrying about the bias.
Geelong have been getting a very good ride from the ums for a while now. I'm sure there are a couple of 'pet' clubs for umpires and Geelong are 1 of them.
16 tackles in a half is dreadful.

Everitt is the ideal match up for Blivacs, he can't cover everyone! ;)
16 tackles in a half is dreadful.
Fox says it's 15. The lack of midfield pressure has killed us all year. It's as if the players refuse to run the other way.
I'd prefer Graham or Buckley TBH. Any bloke that's part of the future.
I don't think Graham is, and Buckley I'm not sold on.
Graham is very average, not quick, not strong, average skills, a good VFL player.
Buckley has more flair but he's very light and not as good as he thinks he is.
His opponent Motlop has touched the ball twice in the first half. Armfield has killed his opponent.
Spot on, there are way bigger problems than Arnfield out there.
At least Armfield plays his role and gives 100%.
We fumble way too much
We make bad decisions
We don't take our chances
We don't pressure anywhere near enough
We don't execute the basic skills properly a lot of the time
Geelong are toying with us.
16 tackles in a half is dreadful.
=no pressure. The midfield are just not running. Geelong are stringing multiple possessions together under no pressure. Of course it makes their forwards look good. Get man on man, tackle hard and things might look up
I don't think Graham is, and Buckley I'm not sold on.
Graham is very average, not quick, not strong, average skills, a good VFL player.
Buckley has more flair but he's very light and not as good as he thinks he is.
Well let's find out. We already know what Armfield brings, and it's not good enough.
And given away a few goals by turning it over.
I didn't say he was perfect, but by far not our worst. I've seen some turn overs and stupid kicks. One from 2E out of the goal square kicking the ball back into play was a classic. Spoiled straight back next to the point post. Criminal. Curnow has kept Selwood quiet which I am happy with. The rest just isn't that entertaining at all. Sloppy crap footy.
Don't they call throw ins back?
Free kicks 14-6 cats way... Who would've thought :o
How is it that Casboult, a man who weighs 100kegs goes in for the arm tackle then and falls over.
Someone teach him how to drop the shoulder and drive through his player. Weak effort.
Umpiring is simply diabolical.
I'd send Gibbs off to Northern tomorrow... effort costs nothing.
Well let's find out. We already know what Armfield brings, and it's not good enough.
Fair enough.
Spot on, there are way bigger problems than Arnfield out there.
At least Armfield plays his role and gives 100%.
And butchers at least half of his posessions.
Half decent coach who can put some confidence in the playing group and we'd have been up at half time.
Malthouse is a fraud who's achievements are simply coincidental with being at power clubs.
screw HIM OFF!!
Thats what i'm talking about Wood!
I love Levi but Jesus he's stunk it up tonight. The blokes a monster but is sooooo timid. Use your size you big oaf! :o
That is twice the umpire has stuffed up the advantage whistle. Piss poor
Awesome stuff by Wood!
Thats what you get with Armfield. Head over the ball, doing the hard stuff.
Good finish.
Awesome stuff by Wood!
He should be made captain for that, not dragged.

Having to play tonight permanent forward with our delivery you are going to stink it up.
We are the leading Clearance and stoppage team in the comp, believe it or not, much due to the good ruck work of Wood and Casboult. So what do we do, we ruck Warnock ,most of the night.

Unfortunately history will probably say we ruined him, when the truth is we exposed the myth.
Half there score, half there tackles. says it all really
we are a sh1te football team
sh1te board, pres, sh1te coach and players that play for pay only.
they get on well with the coach, beacause they're 2 sides of the same coin
play for pay

Gotta love logic

History will show that 5 premierships that were won by 2 separate coaches we 'exposed'. Do you understand how stupid you blokes sound when you continue to spout such BS?
WE are the joke.
The myth is that we are not a joke.
Hope Selwood gets reported for the elbow to Curnows head >:D
And again scragging Curnows face, what a dog

I know we are crap Kruds.
You're one of the few bananas who don't believe Malthouse had anything to do with it.
Makes you look ridiculous.
Painful.
I'm not as upset with MM as some of you are, but it has to end tonight. Please.
I think with all this prematch interviews with Trigg.. and based on what he has said. Mick is as good as gone imo!
Well, the umpires won't protect you fellas, the other mob seem to be able to do what they like... time to take a few scalps fellas.
Selwood, you're a hound.
End everybody's pain..
Murph having a crack.
Daisy barely ok in patches.
Simmo great game again.
Judd unusually quiet.
Menz ok.
Doc ok.
Wood ok.
You're one of the few bananas who don't believe Malthouse had anything to do with it.
Our problem is our weak playing list and it's been ten years in the making, Malthouse has been at the club for two.

Curnow BOG
Curnow BOG
Yep, he's been ok.
Our problem is our weak playing list and it's been ten years in the making, Malthouse has been at the club for two.
That's very true. Our list is not at all MM's fault. But he hasn't helped. He lost our entire forward line.
Sickening to watch. At least this allows us to move the club from depression to acceptance.
Wood has given me something to smile about. Showing some passion and intent. Its a shame more of our guys don't try the same. Who gives the 100m penalty. ;)
I am really starting to get worried about Daisy. I know he tries hard, but nothing positive is coming from him at all. $750,000 a year not well spent at all. I should give him a chance, but at the moment I am fed up with a few players.
That's very true. Our list is not at all MM's fault. But he hasn't helped. He lost our entire forward line.
Free agency lost Betts and Waite.
Malthouse brought Docherty, Everitt, Wood and Thomas to the club in his first season, this year's recruits have been less impressive but it's probably a draw for Mick so far.
Most of the hacks out there tonight were at the club when he arrived, if we give him some time he'll dispose of them one by one.

He hasn't been completely shizen tonight, only mildly so..............
Judd unusually quiet.
Mate, how can anyone get a possession when opposition are allowed to grab you before you get to the ball?
Judd's problem is he is too fair, he needs to be a dog like Hodge or Selwood!
I know we are crap Kruds.
You're one of the few bananas who don't believe Malthouse had anything to do with it.
Makes you look ridiculous.
I've never said Malthouse does not deserve his share of the responsibility.
My thing is that there are much bigger fish to fry. Even IF Mick is responsible for everything that has gone wrong since he walked through the door. That doesn't explain our poor development for the last decade. That doesn't explain our list management strategies that has allowed us to have next to no depth in KP areas. That doesn't explain our poor board performance and lack of cohesion across the club.
The sooner people like you realise that Mick is not the #1 problem with our club, the quicker you'll realise how well and truly screwed our club actually is.
Yes, Mick will get the sack.
Yes, many will rejoice and sing Ding dong the witch is dead.
Yes, there will be a short lived improvement in our efforts.
No, that does not actually solve any of our problems.

He's gone mate.
Another fine, outstanding piece of umpiring, you've done the Bellarine proud you green priks.
How is that a 50
Worst coaching appointment in the clubs history.
Worse than Percy and Pagan.
The best thing about tonight is that Geelong think they are going somewhere.
Mate, how can anyone get a possession when opposition are allowed to grab you before you get to the ball?
Judd's problem is he is too fair, he needs to be a dog like Hodge or Selwood!
True, but that's happened his whole career.
Come on Percy was good, he was robbed by players having big nights out before the finals then having to walk home due to not being able to get a taxi. :P
The best thing about tonight is that Geelong think they are going somewhere.
Just like Richmond and Collingwood before them.
Umpiring is crap tonight. Late whistles, missed frees. The 50 against Yarren was vindictive, the free against armfield was in the back. The throwins have also been garbage, often falling short.
Mick is not the #1 problem with our club
The club is the #1 problem with the club atm.

It's a good start. What problems we did have have increased 20 fold.
We had something, not perfect but something decent to build off when you come 5th, and within 3 years now we have nothing and on the bottom.
Not that you would ever admit you're wrong. Ego couldn't cope. Come on, you can do it wr, wr, wr, wr......

Agree. He appears to have lost all his pace and agility. Tries hard but body can't do what the mind wants to.
Injury has cruelled him I fear and we've been stooged I think.
The club is the #1 problem with the club atm.
He's the #1 problem tonight.
The guy was a **** his whole career and we stuck a Carlton track suit on him and called him a god.
Truth is he's a **** who had more help than any other coach in the history of the game at the most powerful clubs and still only managed 3 flags in 30+ years.
crap bloke hired by a crap board.
I defy anyone to win an AFL match when your key forward options are Casboult, Jones and Watson.
If we delisted the three of them they'd all be playing in the suburban leagues next year.
I defy anyone with a self indulgent 62 year old ****, who's had his arse covered his whole career.
