The weakness isn't in our defence, it's in our defensive run out of our own F50, and our poor ball use exiting our own D50.

Also, even before the Kennedy injury Thursday night our midfield mix was too slow, Cripps, Ed. Curnow, Kennedy and Kreuzer cannot all be in the midfield at the same time it's too slow if they don't win the football. It's like we back ourselves in to win and damn the consequences.

It's been a problem for a long time, Nthmond moved the ball too easily and quickly from their D50 into their F50. It wouldn't matter who they were up against let alone having to deal with Martin and Riewoldt, whose team-mates handed out blocks like they were shielding children from a terrorist and all of them not penalised!

On the replay in one incident when Nthmond were heading to the right of screen, the play is on the wing in the bottom left of the widescreen, in the top right about 50m away you see a small Nthmond forward make direct front on contact with Weitering who is standing Riewoldt, this is before the ball is even kicked let alone within the allowed distance. Riewoldt breaks free and the spud commentator, I think it was Ling yet again, takes a shiv to Weitering like he's bar of chocolate which popped up in front of him. Ling spewed out his usual anti-Carlton vitriol and ranted about how it wasn't good enough from Weitering. Emotional Carlton fans seem to lapped it up, because it's become the topic of discussion here, there and everyowhere!

Ling must want Weitering at Geelong, the last bloke he carried on about like that was Tuohy!

At one stage one of the commentators had a rant about Weitering being beaten by a smaller player, it was Dustin Martin! What a forking moronic stance to take!
