That's it, Voss has to go - end of story !!

Voss has been set up to fail.

By a club who just in the last 24 hours stated that they expect to finish top 10.
The same club that took some of his elite players and watched them head out the door.

If the club had said its a building year. Fine.
To demand results from a team that was already sub-par.....and lost talent....is laughable.

Its certainly not in Vossys nature, but i'd love it if he threw the keys back to the club and said, you deal with it and see how well you do.

We wont win many carrying witches hats.

Kemp, o keefe, chesser, young.  Just deer in the headlights stuff from these guys.  Also we had short options clear and started kicking longer to contests instead.
I thought Young was ok today. Disposal was shaky a couple of times but was far from our worst. The others yep. One of those touched it 7 time and didnt trouble the scorers. His counter part touched it 9 times and kicked 4.1.

Young is symbolic of our list.
the bloke tries his heart out but his disposal is not at the standard and his decision making under any pressure is heart in the mouth stuff. If we were even a middle of the road team he does not play.

What an absolute shambles of an organisation.

Out coached by a newbie with 2 games experience.

Slow, dumb decision makers and poor execution sums up 3/4a of our list.

The sadest part is imo the players give their all they cant play much better. They are what they are and we have known this for years.

Wright has to take a massive broom through the list and find a capable coach to lead.

Walker must be spewing he is coming to us.

Where do I start? Before I talk about Gawn, let me start with us. I said we'd smash Melbourne and for a couple of quarters it was looking on the cards. I felt like we moved the ball well and defended the ground very well. In the first two quarters, when Melb moved the ball from defence, we seemed to give up grass fwd of the the wing and  mids and defenders seemed to position themselves to where the ball was likely going to go to. They choked the avenue to goal and repelled very well.
Pitto appeared, to me at least, to concede at the centre ball up and see if he could impact when the ball hit the ground.
The above all worked for 2 qtrs, then the wheels fell off (especially in the last qtr). The mids got beaten up, the defenders were under pressure and they got back in the game, simple as that. They laid down their arms and showed zero fit and grit.

I have seen some superstars of the game put on some clinics in my time but Gawn was a colossus today. If they didnt have him, I'd go as far to say they wouldnt win a game.
When they needed him, he stood even taller if that's even possible. He tapped everything to advantage and seemed to mark everything  in packs that came his way. If he didnt mark it, he influenced where the ball needed to go. What a player.

We had some dead set passengers today, I wont go into it by naming names, the selection committee SHOULD sort that out assuming there are some able bodied replacements that can come in.

A 63 point turn around is unacceptable in any language, however given our mental fragility it was always on the cards.

Such is Life (as a Carlton Supporter).

On to next week I guess.
