AFL Rd 8 2026   Carlton vs St, Kilda
Team :      E
Our first half wasn’t bad, but the rest was abysmal. We were a heartless, soulless rabble in the 3rd quarter, without the tools to compete, let alone the will.

Votes:
[3]   Ollie Florent:
[3]   Brodie Kemp
[2]   Ben Ainsworth
[1.5]   Jagga Smith
[1.5]   Nic Newman
[1]   Nick Haynes
[0.5]   Matt Carroll
[0.5]   Fracis Evans
[0.5]   Ollie Hollands
[0.5]   Adam Saad
[0.5]   Sam Walsh
[0.5]   Adam Cerra

Explanations:
[3]   Ollie Florent:      Probably his most effective game in our colours, Florent’s disposal was much improved.
[3]   Brodie Kemp:      The most effective forward on the ground, Kemp’s game was ruined by his kicking for goal. He should have had 5 or 6, not three. He killed his opponent.
[2]   Ben Ainsworth:   Ainsworth was good value and played like it meant something to him.
[1.5]   Jagga Smith:      Jagga was our most effective mid. His first half was very good.
[1.5]   Nic Newman:      Nic got a lot of the ball, but he is nowhere near his best form yet.
[1]   Nick Haynes:      Haynes tried hard, but his limitation were apparent in the way his opponents continued to take marks.
[0.5]   Matt Carroll:      Took the highlight of the day and tried hard on his wing.
[0.5]   Fracis Evans:      Considering the lack of opportunities, Frankie tried hard and didn’t just died after half time.
[0.5]   Ollie Hollands :   Tried hard, but his fumbles were woeful.
[0.5]   Adam Saad:      Saad wasn’t bad, he provided some run and his disposal was reasonable, but we handball to him and then provide him with nothing to kick to. To see him stop, prop and wonder what to do next was painful.
[0.5]   Sam Walsh:      A reasonable first half. Nothing in the 3rd quarter.
[0.5]   Adam Cerra:      A reasonable first half. Nothing much afterwards.

Honourable Mentions:
Harry Dean      Got frustrated and did something stupid, but he tried hard and didn’t get out-marked as often as some others.
Mitch McGovern:   Mitch was always dangerous. A pity we couldn’t get the ball near him.
Zac Williams:      Provided some run in the first half.

SOS smiling, Fake pity from TDK and Jack after the game about how bad we are and how they feel our pain??
The club should be embarrassed and as I said prior game win, lose or draw I'm not talking about the coaches future based on this game. This loss is all on the players and the leaders and makes me think we might have to import some leadership from another club because there are hardly any options..
I was going to ask for two first rounders for Harry in a trade to Tassie , might have to rethink that and beg for two second rounders. He needs a spell away from the game and Brisbane can probably just rub Bens name off the whiteboard  and replace it with Harry, no need to change the low confidence.
The media should have a field day with the players his week and rightly so, surely the club have to try more youth now and look to the future..

I told you we wouldnt respond. This group doesnt know how to when challenged.
Surely Byrne being a country lad has a paddock and dam we can borrow for a few days for some camp fire soul searching.

5 minutes into the 3rd up by 3 goals, an angry Jack stood up to Cripps grabbed his guernsey gave him a mouthful, team mate helps Jack gives Cripps a shove. Harry just stands there like a stuffed dummy.
All downhill from there.
Haynes gets into a scuffle on the fence with I cant recall who, Weiters drags Hayne's jumper to pull him away! You serious mate? You want to go in a fly the flag, rip the other guys jumper off not your blokes.
