How many times did the commentators mention how well structured adel are. everyone can see it.

We are one trick ponies. excellent in contested possession but literally uselss whenever the ball is out. Our transition game plan is seriously non existent and wjen the game was remotely there to be won we play the same safe gameplan refusing to go into the middle. 

And its not going to change until we change the bloke directing this part of our club.

Our leaking of goals in the first half was comical - how many goals did they kick the exact same way.

This doesnt happen to well coached teams.

Pull the bandaid off wright.

Large class gap compounded by dreadful umpiring in the second quarter.

We have a core of talented players but there are far too many VFL types running around in blue particularly in defence, which let you down at critical times.

A couple of own goals worth mentioning -
(1) these conditions would have suited Hewett perfectly.
(2) when McKay is getting pneumonia at FF how about a run on the ball and ask HOK to play CHF & get the ball to ground
(3) What about Kemp back or on the ball? we’re just not getting the most out of this bloke.

Probably our best 4 quarter effort for the year.  The boys had a crack. I know we got smacked in the 2nd but starting Cripps off the ground was the catalyst I honestly believe of when it turned around. Lots of positives and we'll make a few changes next week, so there should be some improvement. At least we played a good last quarter and but for some shocking umpiring could have been closer

Not as depressed as i could be - we were pretty good in some parts.

I must say it is evident we tire ourselves out, mostly for no benefit, the amount of ineffective 2-3 player tackles that leave us on the ground and the oppo  running away, or running around in circles, is taxing.

The ch7 commentary team is putrid and the camera work was like a 2yo grabbed their parent’s mobile phone! Shocking. The umpiring was absolutely one sided until the last when the obligatory evening it up happened, mostly for no real benefit to us.

So during the telecast they said Ollie got reported for that hit on walker? Presumably will be overturned and he’ll be fined for staging.

Quote from: LordLucifer – on
If I squinted whilst looking at the TV, I could have sworn Curnow was still out there, it was McGovern though. Three times I saw him just drop off like Curnow used to, gave up on the second effort.

Equal leading goalkicker both tonight and for the year.
Got 4 tackles tonight which was in the top half of Carlton players.

Not sure he is the one i'd be singling out.
