With the game not being on free to air TV tonight, I am not going to see a single minute of it, win, lose or draw. So, with the game about to start, I thought I'd start up the In Game Thread.
Those of you who are seeing the game, I hope you can enjoy it. I will sitting and stewing in my own juices.
Being in Bris we can see on Fox, but not sure that's a good thing
Holman sub, Cripps playing - don't think there are any late changes.
Robbo flattens Murphy then Jamo gets in on it no love lost there
Bit of feeling in this game
Walker actually looks like he "belongs" tonight.
He's directing others and moving well.
Rowe doing well in the ruck. Couple of clearances.
Smith pressuring up forward like Eddie/Jeffy used to do.
Someone forgot to tell the boys we are tanking!
Was just thinking the same, always liked Walker there
Playing 'opposites' today.
Walker forward.
Hendo back.
Jaksch forward.
Rowe forward/ruck.
Even Docherty up forward.
Problem with all of that is, that is pretty much all of those players best positions.
Why do that in a game we want to lose?

Because we r stupid
And why has it taken so long for them to be there ?

If the idea is your kind of thing, you can listen to it via the AFL website. I'm rather fond of experiencing AFL footy this way. Like the way I used to listen on the radio years ago.
Strange I live in Bris and there has been no rain for a while, so many players can't seem to keep there feet? Both teams playing skill wise as per the ladder positions
Good to see Clem Smith creating some forward pressure ala Eddie back in the day
Would I be wrong in saying that Sam Rowe is one of the worst players on our list?
I should mention that earlier on Curnow was flattened after we kicked a goal. Very impressed to see a few boys run to his side. Smith and Whiley being 2 that went in straight away.
Good to see the 'stick up for your mate' message is finally getting through.
Would I be wrong in saying that Sam Rowe is one of the worst players on our list?
Yes.
Dick
Ellard
Watson
Warnock
Should i continue? Gets a little depressing after a while.
Oh yeah it's a long list , but trimming is coming
Strange game, we kicked 4-5 in a row, then completely fade away, now Bris back in front , all our pressure gone?
Phew - here I was thinking we were throwing away the # 1 draft pick......disaster now averted people!!!
Yes.
Dick
Ellard
Watson
Warnock

Well played sir.....
think we are safe Brettie, our drive has disappeared
Jaksch is proving a few doubters wrong tonight.
Playing well, still some work to do, but showing plenty IMO.
Hospital hand pass to Smith , Robbo got him. And Jaksckpresenting well, looks good up forward
We might need Sav to be full time with his goal kicking coaching
Already Jaksch looks more like a tall forward than Hendo ...lots to learn and has to get some strength, but thinks and presents the way you'd want a tall forward to.
So how many goalless quarters does that make it this year?
Jaksch certainly is a better option than Jones, a good preseason in the gym would give him the extra strength needed for a key forward, but promising. That being said , opposition is average.
Another one of those lost quarters we specialise in.
Not all bad though, Jaksch is actually showing something, moving well but his kicking lacks confidence.
Smith looks like a real footballer, could be the first good player we've snagged outside the top 50 since Hoops, Buckley continues to grow.
Kreuzer has been great but I've counted one mark between Everitt, Rowe and Henderson, our key position woes continue.
Yarran and Menzel must really be in the bad books if Ellard and Dick are playing ahead of them.
So how many goalless quarters does that make it this year?
That was one of our best though. ;)
What a fit up.... 6 goal opening quarter then nothing... the fix is in.
"Garage Sale"
Cheap football players that are rated as forward that cannot play as forwards.
S. Rowe, L. Henderson, L. Jones package includes Dick, as a defender that can't get his hands on the ball. Swap with your 3rd rounder and take the lot.
I cannot believe we are once again at the level of struggling against a bunch of utter hackmeisters. I know about our outs, but f*$king hell...............
And anyone who thinks that the tanking will all be worth it, as if we can just flick a switch next season and start a winning culture..............
On field leadership again the problem in that quarter - they applied some heat and we became an instant rabble.
4 qtr efforts are really lacking in this current line up. Walker , Buckley etc who in the first qtr were our key players MIA in the second.
What a fit up.... 6 goal opening quarter then nothing... the fix is in.
Yep....had to pull back and let Brisbane take over...

Geez I hope not. Would make me sick.
Notice the team spirit for Bris when when West kicked his goal, who has been out for a while, we dont seem to have that at all. Just about every Bris player was ther. We don't have that energy.
I like Everitt's forward work and goal kicking nous but his defensive efforts are weak as the proverbial.

Yes real sad, no energy re tackling at all, seems disinterested when he hasn't got the ball
Could be in for another one of those goalless quarters again. Strange 6 in the first, then nothing at all

A defining characteristic of Carlton sides over the past few years.

He played some brilliant tagging roles under Mick.
I just think its his fitness. He works so hard up forward that he is completely stuffed on defence.

Don't know what it is, if it's his fitness it goes back to the coaches. Don't think he has missed games this year, so if not injured, lack of dedication?
10 goals straight to Bris after our 6 in the first quarter, its lapses like this will kill any chance Barker had re coaching position
Probably gave the club a bit of a fright but methinks mission accomplished. Not only equal wins with Brisbane but almost certain to have a lower percentage after we were something like 10-15% ahead of them not that long ago.
On a side note, can't believe we're collecting another spoon
not watching the game OS.
does it look like we're dropping it? or are we trying?
Commentators are talking about our lack of desire, so obvious, they are also talking about many of our players might be playing there last few games for the club, they are so right.
not watching the game OS.
does it look like we're dropping it? or are we trying?
Bris have 12 straight goals after qtr time? We don't look like scoring. Look very second rate.

Rabble. As soon as BrisVegas applied pressure we went to pieces, our disposal by foot is deplorable.

It would hardly be a unique circumstance if some Carlton players aren't trying.

Has his knee/calf strapped up at the moment. Is not 100% fit to say the least.
I laughed today as I watched Adelaide kick 12 unanswered goals against Essendon: "How pathetic is this!?" I said to myself........
*sigh*......
I had to turn it off. Wife keen to watch geelong play her hawks. The gulf in standard between the games is miles.
We are just so so bad. Half the team is standing still, the other running in the wrong direction.
pick 1 and geelongs first rounder - go hawks
OK, we let the lions get so far in front we couldn't possibly win.
Then we kicked 3 in 3 minutes. Now its 6 goal margin with 1/4 to play.
'Managed' to perfection?
Live ladder shows us officially on bottom.
Three quick goals to finish the third.
I'm recording the second half as the lids are watching something else. Something tells me I won't miss much if I don't watch the second half. I thought we would lose, but not by this much.
Goal to Walker , he has looked good up forward at times, you get a distinct feeling that the players are just playing out the season , many might not be back, I would have thought they would be doing there best to get a gig some where next season. Horsham reserves maybe

Lol we have our own reality show here for sure
Sad but true, our blokes just aren't giving it much... wanting the year to end.
If only our guys had the grit of Robbo , 14 tackles to 3/4 time, just what we need & are lacking right now.
We had 23 tackles in the first quarter. What the hell has happened since.

It's pretty obvious.
Robbo has slaughtered us tonight , and really rubbed it in all night. Jaksch completely MIA after a promising start, like many others
Bottom of the ladder? Mission accomplished.
This loss is 10x worse than the Hawks game a few weeks back.
How ugly. Glad I can't see it.
Cripps - what a star.
I am still watching , I might need therapy
They have more than 130 more possessions than we have.
I would think Barker has no chance to retain his job now
OK guys, over to the post game thread. This one is not going to be looked back on with pleasure.
