Uh oh.
we don't seem to have any run tonight
Back to bomb from the pack style. Barkers next small step: get rid of that.
Having a crack but the skills aren't there, fumbles, missed handballs, missed tackles, scrubby kicks.
It's a hamburger with the lot.
Can someone introduce Boekhurst to OUR jumper!!!
Dominated 15 minutes there .
Lack of polish. Very frustrating quarter
Zach Tuohy is a completely different player since Malthouse
Amazing courage from Hendo!!
nearly back to his pre Malthouse form
Mate Armfield is burning some opportunities.
still cant kick to save ourselves
Casboult just plain dumb seriously embarrassing.
armfield. its a love hate thing right now
Holman, what do we see in him? confused
we need to use the ball better we have made some stupid errors when we have had the ball
I hope the Dogs don't turn things around and make the most of their opportunities. We should be at least a couple of goals further in front ATM. Happy to be leading, but we need to think before we kick.
This is a very ordinary game of football just quietly.
Casboult very disappointing dropping two marks.
Armfield would be BOG had he kicked straight.
Hendo can't pay key position players 600k+ if they can't take a mark.
Quite a few of our boys are down yet amazingly we still lead. Would be a great win if we could pull it off.
Tuohy good Buckley ,jamo all good on ballers breaking even just need better entry's and the forward line to open up and get on the move nothing worse than looking down the ground and everyone standing still or all together
think hendo should be playing down back instead of up forward
Buckley might be a tiny kid, but there is so much to like about him. ;)
Army it isn't soccer. Get your head in order and you could win the game for us.
Levi, wake up and stop napping.
Disposal skills & decision-making are what is cruelling us in this match, completely outplayed them yet only just have our noses in front.
Casboult is on another planet, dropping easy marks and his kicking has gone backwards tonight. Armfield has had plenty of it yet has not been able to finish off, tends to get a rush of blood to the head right at the key moment and fizzles it. Buckley has been strong and thankfully has not rested on his laurels after that incredible first quarter goal. Kreuzer once again shows why the value of a competent ruckman cannot be underestimated, he has been great.
Was quite concerned when Cripps went off early with a knock to the knee, nearly broke the TV when Wood & Casboult did their Benny Hill impersonation.
might be time to drop wood let levi be the second ruckman
I would have Davey Ellard in the team ahead of Tutt without hesitation.
isnt Ellard injured but i agree tutt is a spud
First job of silvagni is to get rid of Jones and Tutt.
Not a single goal in the third quarter is pathetic. This game has just slipped out of our fingers. >:(
Casboult has been poo. Unfortunately we have a few hackers out there tonight.
Tutt is just awful which is a shame because he tries so damn hard.
Set shots, set shots, set shots.....FAAAAAAAA
Jones is on a 3 year deal isnt he
All current players are rodgers and hughes decisions...
4.11 to 3/4 time, very poor return !!
Forward-line was non-existent in that quarter, teamwork & intensity has dropped off markedly too. Looks like the Barker honeymoon period phase has worn off.
Must fight it out in the last, don't care about the result, just want to see the effort .... from everyone !!
Maybe I'm a dreamer but I think we will win
the whole team butchers the ball, we would have to be the worst team in the league in terms of kicking
Our 2 Blaine's - 1/ Boekhurst is scared, 2/ Johnson pulls out of contests, both soft as butter.... Next.
at least were kicking to the scoring end
Dogs by 21. We are about to get belted. :(
At least it is now official that we can arrange for boekhurst to be shipped off to whatever home Lucas and bootsma are retired to. One thing we don't have to worry about in the off season
Ps - when did they change the holding the ball rule? Seems the dogs are allowed to hold it for as long as they want, when tackled
Big test for us.....fight this out...
Sometimes I'm wrong ask my wife
were going to lose by 50plus
Only way this last q could be worse is if BT. And Richo were commentating and talking Sh"t.... Oh wait....
BT and richo are the worst commentary team ive ever heard in any sport they make darcy sound good
Only call about every 5th play... Too busy talking crap
how the hell was Boekhorst a first round draft pick i wouldnt have given a packet of samboy chips for him
Depth shown up tonight
and our diabolical drafting strategy
Our best players tonight were drafted.
We didn't look hungry enough for a victory. Minson killed us. Shots on goal was shocking. We actually went back to Malthouse style footy tonight. I had to check to see who was in the coaching box. Levi was way off. Armfield needs corrective lenses. Missed Gibbs and Carrazzo a lot.
Yes our last 5 players really not up to the task, skill wise . Can see a few having a new address next year
X1000000
Complete flogs
Ling is just about as bad
Yep, Ellard not looking so bad after all.
Only watched the last quarter, but from what I saw both teams looked mediocre.
Game in that last quarter had as much life as a corpse.
Boekhurst is crape but a lot of
Players went missing
Wtf is going on with Yaz?
That last quarter he made no effort to get to the ball even when it was a couple of meters away. Let Dogs players run past him while he jogged.
Funny how Malthouse got the credit when a new player showed a glimpse ???
BTW....Caleb Daniel...
made all those who passed on him because of his height look like complete d!cks.
Crash, can you take over our drafting team please !
Played on Daniel when the little bloke came on and paid him no respect at all......probably cost us the game IMO because Daniel turned the game for the Dogs...
Looks disinterested and like something isnt right...
If Yarran isn't up to it he will put himself in a position where he will be traded. We can't have passengers.
Watched him in one of the U/18 matches last year for SA and he had the ball on a string !! It was always going to be the issue of his height whether he would get drafted and a lot of clubs passed on him, showed tonight that he has all the skills to be a long-term player.
If we were 3 goals up at half time like we should've been I think we come out with a different mindset after the break.
Awful game but they are in the top 8 with and 8-5 record. Equal with Collingwood and Richmond, and a game off top 4. We were grossly undermanned and could well have won, so it's hard to know what to make out of the game. We looked crappy but lost by only 11 pts. Thought we were due for a "non-switched on" game. As long as it's only one game.
Yep, he's gone from being almost my favorite CFC player to watch to just about my worst.
I thought Yarran was OK. He has definitely pulled back from the run and carry game that is his trademark and seems to be focusing on his delivery - but he still missed a couple of targets. He did cop a stinger but we really need him to be ripping it up. I suspect he is not 100%
Caleb Daniel is criticised for his 167cm height. He is the same size as Boomer Harvey. We all know how he plays football.
I said the same about daisy.....
