Come on lads,
show Mick you care. Make his special night special, or die trying.
GO BLUES! Want to taste some Hawthorn blood.
THIS IS THE GAME MICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TIME TO STAND UP!
Why is Judds jumper different to the others? Hasn't got the premiership cups at the back??
Hicky!!!!
We regain some identity with Judd out there.
Ignore, cups hidden by the folds
My goodness - try to own the corridor and what do you know ? fast F50 entry and goal. Wonders will never cease.
until we fall asleep and get lazy again.....
that was terrible.
A few lazy defensive efforts
I thought this tnuc could kick?
Menzel and Daisy - good decisions.
Watto please only kick it long.
Hows that a free, he turned into him?
Non free aside, Watson a liability.
Our boys don't seem to be focusing on the ball carrier rather, they are focussing the intended target.
They're now being out muscled and look scared in defence. So basically a normal Hawthorn game.
I'd stick Watson up forward and leave him there. Couldn't be any worse. Seriously, he can't move. Luke Livingston MK2
Ball spending too much time in our back half.
Docherty had to impact that contest better.
How did Watson get a guernsey tonight as he's well off the pace?
Clearance kings at work
Watson.....can't believe he got another contract.
Watson literally moving in slow motion. Our skills are worse than normal. But that's because we're scared. That Suckling goal was kicked with complete ease.
They are a pleasure to watch. Hard, clean ball use, hard running. Hamburgers with the lot! Even their crap players are solid.
Started well but losing our grip on this quarter too quickly. Hawks doing it far too easily.
Too many blues watching & letting Hawks loose man game carve us up
honestly Feeling for kid, hope he can bounce back. Think almost every mistake has resulted in a scoring opportunity
Hopefully MM is telling him what he might do after football. Next year.
MM visible furious. Grabbed Wiley by the throat nearly and is Ll gritted teeth.
Its like they have 25 on the ground, incredible.
pisss [por effoet defensdively.
Watson looks completely shattered as a player. If I was him I'd start showing my old willy to girls on Facebook just so Carlton will let me go.
Rowe though is playing his heart out. Judd was great. The rest are frightened and not playing with any brains or composure.
Thank god Rowes doing well down back ey? Can't imagine if he was never moved down back....
Poor old watto. Really want him to make it but has wet his pants tonight
Always like Jamo.
FMD we need him tonight.
Man up.... Stop letting birchall do what he wants...
Anyone done a head count? ;D
LOL - Watson - just gets sh1tter each week
paddle pop lion that's been tranquilized
I'm totally gobsmacked, Rowe looks to have Roughead's measure tonight, apart from him getting away early in the quarter and that crap free kick to Hale, Rowe has done really well thus far.
And poor old Matty Watson, he looks like a deer in the headlights every time he has the ball in his hands.
Just waiting for Robinson to put his dukes up and go toe-to-toe with Hodge in a good old fashioned bare-knuckle brawl.
And let Suckling kick two goals. I mean it's great for my Supercoach, but seriously everyone knows he'll go for goal if he's on the fifty and yet we're letting him run loose in the forward line.
Roughie is a hard player to match up on. Rowe is doing a great job. He even out muscled him!
The only thing impressive on Watson is his watermelon head. Thats it. Nothing else to offer. Nothing :o
This is why we are where we are.
i know a lot are blaming cr@p umpiring for our last two defeats and it did have some effect. But when you lead by 16 points in the last quarter and you can't win a game, that says it all about your physical and mental toughness.
We don't have enough players who have that and you can see it tonight.
We are gone season well and truly over.
Yep great list management.... No talls worth a crumpet outside first 18. Hey carrots, you wanted this bloke to play.... Pretty clear why he was at the NB's.
Hickyyyy!
Robbo moving around a bit - spending some time up forward. Kruds may have a point.
I have a feeling that this could be like other games I have seen when we have been slaughtered. We will kick the first goal of the quarter then get smashed
Any coach that lets birchall run free and unmanned should be sacked.
Gotta love robbo, far from the most talented but leaves nothing out there and love his ferocious attack on the footy
Casboult is back on that boat handcuffed. Hasn't done a thing...................................until now!!
He can take a mark.
Fair grab that
Come on Cas - kick straight..........and he does.
Great mark BTW
Just hasn't got a brain to bless himself with, but I do love his guts and determination.
So is Caz a keeper or is he actually becoming half decent trade bait?
That was a sh!!t handpass by Murphy and an even sh!!!!tier tackle by Gibbs. Just no thinking going on out there.
Watson looks like my grandson at kindergarten. Running around in a circle getting nowhere and doing nothing.
I still say Everiit is slow.
So far the umps have been ok.
Docherty is making a habit of doing what he did then
Where he has seldom ever done enough to 'push' for senior selection. Only in because of no other option with Hendo and Jammo being out.
Should put Watson up forward and tell him to just bring the ball to ground and let the smalls do the work. He will only continue to embarrass himself down back... and leak goals. Waite down back.
He was lucky there. Ceglar mucked that up. He was miles behind him.
Ah Doch, you stuffed it.
I didnt mean the shot for goal I meant running around indecisively not knowing what to do with the ball.
Better field position this half. Please no junk time goals.
My comment wasn't related to your post, although it may look like it was.
More of that please
Pretty sure burchill gave him a swing too....
Skill error from Rowe. They get a goal.
who the f.. is on Rioli.
Seems like no one wants to go near him?
not rowe's faul.t.
where are gibbs, murphy,. yaxx etc
Come on Cas - 2 please.
Well done Levi. Confidence taking a few steps fwd.
Can I ask who is playing on Rioli
Unfortunately Doc seems a little overwhelmed by the occasion... lack of experience showing - put him on Rioli, defensive role will settle him.
Who the fudge is on Rioli??????
Agreed. But Rowe should have marked just liked Army should have taken clean possession.
So many loose players
All Armfield has done tonite is FK UP.
I have NEVER liked him as a player, he does the odd flashy thing but he has limited ability and will never be a top liner at any club let alone ours.
:-[ how the f.. are there guys free to run inside 50?
Hawks always have 1 or 2 players free.
They also shrug our tackles with ease.
We're giving the Dawks way too much time and space to kick the ball
Shocking appalling defence, you cant allows that FFS.
How bad was that defensive effort.
Could Watson please be subbed out???
Don't want to pick on players but jeez, Watson just jumped to make it look like he was doing something
no idea defensively. we just stand back and watch.
rioli is worth the three weeks
robbo?
That's 3 to the Cas !!!
Whereas Watson is a shattered footballer, Caz has been growing in confidence before our eyes. He probably won't kick another but you can't expect more than 3 goals from him in a quarter.
bythe by, who's been bagging Levi over the last stretch?
Oh and another thing, for all his grit and determination, you can bet your Niagara falls that Robbo will not take a contested mark
We haven't been blown out of the water (yet), but Hawks still doing it a little too easy for my liking, even with a number of significant outs.
That's a complete joke. And guess what now they have a shot on goal.
Sensational pack mark and three goals to Casboult tonight.
I've worked out what his kicking problem is too, he walks in straight and with 3-4 steps left before kicking he swings out really wide on his right so his kicking leg actually slices across the ball at point of impact. If you could get him to stay straight in his approach, the yips would near disappear.
Docherty FFS go. Give away a free but go.
Anyone catch that slow mo? Defence all over the place
It's going to be like this all night. We get a sniff and they get the easy goal. All their goals have been kicked with ease, we've had to work for ours.
That was no free against Waite....
Ihave it on good authority that Waite will have to be knocked unconscious in front of all three umpires and he still wont get a free kick
No doubt they'd give a free kick against him for staging!
Told you, Robbo cannot take a contested mark.
Could have notched up those last 2 losses if Judd was playing.
Need to stop roli!!!!!!!!
Because he ain't 7ft tall. Foolish
Won that qtr by 1 pt. Yay!
Judd is back to that clean handling of the ball. Still rusty bit some life in the old man still.
Cas took some incredible marks and their defenders have no chance in the air.
We're too lazy to play one on one but I think this is one our better performances.
No, he NEVER EVER, all right, I won't be as dogmatic. He has a one out of ten average taking a contested mark. That last one before the siren was a prime example.
Putting his hands up in the air as he does means that he will NEVER FKN EVER take a contested mark. If he had the ability to take a contested mark, he would have taken that one.
He was in the front position, got his hands on the ball, but it didn't stick. that's three times tonight so far in a contested situation.
take the blinkers off, and put aside the bias and call it for what it is. he can't take a contested mark.
Never thought I'd be typing these words, but Cas is keeping us in the game. Good to see. Nice work son.
Judd, Carrots, Cas good.
Yazz unsighted.
Rowe ok.
Gibbs, ok but a little too much pack skirting for my liking.
Never a truer word has been said. (both posts)
Umpires a joke.
Casboult has a chance here to really stamp himself on the competition as an up and coming star. That mark was as good as I've seen.
Are the Carlton players avoiding Waite? Has had the spud Schoenmaker on toast plenty of times and ignored.
Still, good on him for his off the ball work which has been fantastic
Breakout game for the Cas !
Hodge Captain, Murphy captain. What a huge difference in ability and leadership. Can we swap them?
Another farcical display by the maggots.
What does Waite have to do to get a free, that tackle was a great running tackle.
Umpires obviously don't see our boys have there arms chopped. Hodges on Robbo on the wing was bright as day..
It's time for the club to get on the front foot and bag the umpiring frat club.
It's time to lift the skill level and beat these bunch of honey poo eaters.
We're giving it a good crack again but Hawthorn are more polished, their field kicking is better, they make space better, they know where to run, they have one player instinctively sag off to receive the get out ball, they're just an all around better football team.
Great to see big Levi kick straight for a change and that pack mark was as good as I've seen from someone in a Carlton jumper for years, Rowe doing OK but we really miss Jamison, Waite playing a good game which probably means he'll have a shocker next week, Daisy's skills are a cut above most of his team mates.
We're still in with a chance but Hawthorn will need to slacken off and start making a few mistakes.
We did have three great chances to score goals and as usual all missed. Touhey, Docherty and Menzel.
He won't make it, send him back to the seconds for a little while longer.
O.k. Just thought I'd ask ;) ;) ;)
Hodge is the games biggest sniper hands down.
Yeah but goes in at the risk of life and limb, tackles like he wants to kill his opponent and actually finds a team-mate when he kicks or hand balls. Murphy, got ability, but I have never looked at him with 3 minutes to go like I would look at Hodge or Sewell, and think, this bloke will win this game for us.
Been paying attention to Hill, he is a seagull of the highest order, I'm yet to see him in the pack or taking a hit. He's nothing more than a glorified link player, takes the soft possession running past the stationery player and then kicks long.
Any defender who plays him close and applies pressure will get the rewards, he will crumble.
Kane Lucas & Brad Hill, two peas in a pod !!
C Judd 3 votes
Nice start - goal. Watch the Hawks kick the next.
Everrit been very poor tonite
MURPHY!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Not convinced about him at all TBH.
Cyril reported.
Bloody hell Warnock, how about tapping it to a Carlton player, that's 3 in a row
If he gets his hand to it, he thinks he has done his job regardless of where it goes after his hand.
Watto free kick HTB - love it.
We kick too many slow balls that hang in the air too long... Carazzo does this too often.
Watson is showing 10000000 times more urgency this half.
we are as good as them. difference is the mistakes/turnovers....
We are getting some soft umpiring.... a phone call has been made...
Was thinking the same - so many 50/50's going our way. Too good to be true.
Can we possibly keep this up??
Id love to see us 16 points in front in the last quarter and actually hang on
and they reply with a soft goal inside 5 seconds....
Scores level - sigh, not for long.
Watson....
Why would that fwit yarran fly for the mark and not stay down!!!!
Too easy for the Hawks that last goal
rubbish Gibbs.. was a standard set shot.
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN ABOUT MURPHY!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Murphy kills it and Watson v Roughhead. Yeah.
Geez Murphy has been awful tonight.....if he can lift we'll win.
Gotta sub McLean
Your fudging joking ump!
MacLean a liability at times ... as I typed that he gave away a silly free.
Rowe is one of the few positives from this year IMO.
Well he still didn't make it stick in his hands but at least Robbo gets the free
robbo forward is working, something to work on....
just need to improve defensively...
This Judd player is a keeper
I have been a huge critic of Rowe, and still remain to be totally convinced but he has improved 1000% on what he was doing at the beginning of the year
Finally being played where he should be.
How many of you knew that waite would miss that??
Ah Waite, yer bubble headed booby.
Nice stage you dog Hodge.
Now will he kick this????
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
knew Waite would drill that one though
He's a master. Hollywood awaits.
How about you give me tomorrow nights lotto numbers ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Does Jordan Lewis ever handball correctly?
HE can kick far, but can he kick straight???????
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Watto up forward he better get this
So we know Watto will never make a fwd.
Ah Watto, bubble headed booby No2
Watson misses from 20 yards
Speechless.
Now, if only Yarran could do something.
He's on Rioli. He's negated him this quarter.
Again you just cant allow those goals
Walker was just going to give up the chase....never EVER give up!
typical red time goal ... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH over it so predictable
WE just can't stick tackles when it counts, Docherty is a prime example.
He's a lazy pr!ck and his field kicking is symptomatic and the best demonstration of this.
Hodge barely missed Menzel there.... he is the master sniper.
Walker is in horrible form it must be said
I'd like to see Murphy knock a few out
GFY
Armfield is cr@p always has been and always will be.
Walker is a deadest liability in the back half ... what 200 games and still makes the same errors.
Another red time goal from a stoppage WAKE THE F UP.
Junk time goals again and again...we let it happen every game. Do we just lose focus?
Umpiring has changed... we must be a chance for a bit.
Watson kicks that goal it's almost over.
saD...
Better effort this quarter from Murphy.
Any chance of Warnock hitting to advantage?
MAN THEM UP FFS!
And that my friends is how you ice the dying seconds in a qtr.
Let's see what Graham can do in the last Q
I'll say one thing, given the passengers in this side, we've put in a great effort in the last two weeks. Still need to win these though.
Okay, anyone on here think we can win?
I would love to say yes, but my head has overruled my heart, so it's a no from me.
We won another qtr yay again!
Anyone see "the good bloke Hodge" try and clean Menzel up?
\
Right Mondy, Everitt has been ordinary, as has Touhey. Armfield shocking and Watson may as well have stayed at home.
Warnock has actually been terrible in the ruck. Plenty of hit outs but straight to the opposition.
I also don't know if Levi can get the full four quarters.
Looks like we've got them this time~
Some very poor commentary tonight. Murthy poor, get McLean off....sometimes I wonder if I am watching the same game."????
Reckon walker must go forwRd
They just replayed Smiths goal from the boundry, you would think that Everitt could have at least dived to try and block the kick. lazy pr!k
We don't have a good record of late of being able to bring home the win in the last so my head says NO but hey, we're celebrating our 150th so maybe they can find the passion and emotion to do it?
Murphy did nil for two quarters. And made a heap of mistakes as well with poor handpassing.
He improved that quarter
Just hope we don't get out to a 16-point lead again.
Yep.
Hawthorn have a lot of young blokes out there, we'll finish over them.
Armfield!!!!
because we were 5-10 metres behind at every moment.... LAZY LAZY LAZY
Rowe did well but where was Armfield???
We are stuffed if we don't kick the next. And that should have been Roughheads mark
They are running over the top of us... their half backs are killing us.
Its over
Quite apart from anything else, the Hawks are masters of broken play. When they can't take clean possession, they just keep the ball moving forward. They do it more and better than anyone else.
Looks like they're going to have the 16 point lead.
Yep, it wasn't Walkers mark down the other end either
GAME OVER....
Levi has given away a free kick in the oppositions forward line every week especially in the last quarter. that's because he's brainless, but not just that, it's because he gets tired and lazy and can't think under those conditions.
And despite doing it nearly every week, still hasn't learned
Armfield is on another planet. You are a disgrace Dennis
Armfield is clueless... not a natural footballer
Yet he was smart from the centre.
However Simmo tried to do too much and they chopped us up.
The bolt still gives us more value than Warnock... 100 taps ... none of any value and NOTHING after the bounce.
DEocherty fks up yet again, I'm not counting but that's 4 times tonight
Yeah has had a deadest shocker.
crap effort again Sam
They are just really good at all facets of the game. Coach said before the game, "lose one, replace him with another soldier". They come in and know their role and perform it. They have few weak links.
It was fun while it lasted.
No, he at had a go and Roughy kicked a good goal under pressure. Could have bounced anywhere.
Now why wouldn't Rowe try to wrap his arms around Roughy than go for a push.
And Armfield again giving his opponent 5 metres start every time.
Disagree. Put his heart in.
Yet again tonight Hill cuts up Armfield
Graham ran then as if he was in the twos
Weak dog Sphanger... smack him Levi.
WE are tired and gone.
Good effort considering the players we had out and who replaced them
Warnock is clueless as a ruckman... how about hitting it to the guys in Blue you clown???
Warnock.... clueless
The only thing you can say about Armfield is that he looks like a 1970's porn star, and they weren't much good either ::) ::)
Why kick when you can handball. I thought the game was called football for a reason.
Unforgivable errors from experienced Blues players
Another bad error from Carrots....
We've been honest but the triers have run out of gas and class rising to the top.
Gotta play 4 qtrs to be a chance.
These blokes practice close in under pressure handball for hours every day, yet they can't do it in a game and hit a target.
Armfield miles off a man spectating again
We have, this is the best we've got.
He's got plenty of the ball, but how many times when he has had it, has he stopped, gone back and then kicked it high in the air to a contest.
Dawks getting a good run from the umps this Q. How was that not holding the ball?
Where did I see that translation, that "Carazzo" was I
Italian for "turnover"?
Got Sphanger... bit of payback there
Now that's interesting.
I thought that the umpire 60 metres away could only call a free that was off the ball.
But Spanger whatever his name is got one from the umpire 60 metres away.
SO WHY THE FK DIDN'T MENZEL GET ONE LAST WEEK. The officiating umpire said he didn't see it. What's the good of having 3 of the maggots if they can't call an obvious free kick.
Carazzo... a lot of awful slow floaters to contests.... has really hurt us tonight. Has also be shown up for pace too but at least has tried.
Some of our decision making has been woeful
Just didn't have the cattle, no more complicated than that.
Attitude and endeavour was there, but we just don't have the blokes to deliver.
Bring on the next purge.
Haven't seen much of Gibbs this Q...
Could have filled the hole Nick and made yourself a martyr.
Has D Armfk had a possesion??
I reckon our drop off coincided with both Judd and him running out of legs.
Still have to many players that cant hit the target
Plenty of tryers but not enough succeeders.
Time for Carrazzo to hang up the boots.
Anyway gents till next week, have a great and safe week ahead.
Why didn't Graham go up in front of Roughy to help out Rowe?
Our HFs and mids don't put enough pressure on the ball carriers through the middle of the ground
11 straight to the Dawks damn it!
Pretty clear from this game who has a future and who doesn't.
It's hard to win games of football when at least 20 of your handballs miss the target, Hawthorn were miles cleaner.
We both had key players missing but Hawthorn probably had more out, we're still a long way off the pace.
It's a tough call but that was probably Watson's last game in a Navy Blue jumper.
yET, IT WAs our guns that didnt do it....
28 points and they had an army of players out.
just shows where we're at.
middle of the road - at best
cheap turnovers the killer.
Carrazzo can get the pill, but by gees he knows how to butcher it... Time to hit the pasture ya spud.
What a poor team effort in the fourth.
Midfield without Judd and Gibbs is next to retarded and soft under pressure, but that has never changed.
For sure, and good teams make you pay.
Our skills are bad but our fitness is worse.
How can Judd still be running past guys at the end, he's missed the whole season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I turned it off once we were 5 goals down. I'd seen enough!
but one o f many.
they didn't win, we rolled over. again...
Murphy was very good, our worst 6 is much worse than Hawthorn's worst 6, ours wouldn't even make it onto their list.
Both sides undermanned.
Culture won.
just soft, soft, soft, the guns wilted
Agree - not sure that he can do much more. Gives up size height and weight every week he plays. Gets smacked behind the umpires backs over and over.
