Game starts at 1345, but it doesn't come on TV until 1500. Frustration, but as I am suffering kidney stones I am just glad it is on TV.
Car'n the Blues!

Get well soon Crash, hopefully no too much pain.

x2...Hope the boys can get a win for you Crash and ease some of that pain....
I can feel the pain Crash , had gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago big gall stone. Hope all is well
I've had that a few times, Crash...AWFUL pain...!! The morphine was fabulous!!
Get well soon Crash, hopefully no too much pain.
Modern painkillers can do impressive things, but the sprinting to the loo every 15 minutes is the biggest negative. :)
Got a mate who suffers from them, horrible things they are, excruciatingly painful.

Not good Crash but I'm sure a win will lift your spirits!
TO, Goal! Come on guys.
Leigh Matthews "The defenders are half looking at the ball, half playing man on man, half zoning off"
Maths is your friend Leigh, lucky youre the best player to ever play the game. ;D
Love a chase down tackle but FMD that was in the back to Kruze surely.
So we look like we have started where we left off last week :(
6 mins to go and I have just about seen enough.
Can we have a priority pick as well, we need it more.
Our lack of pace is being shown up again today . Nice goal Philips , breaks a run against us.
Kreuzer having a shocker, Blues playing the Lions into form >:(
Awful, just awful.
Tanking. Sweet mother of god. I want my monthly membership fee reimbursed.
Words fail me.
I was tempted to come down from the coast to watch the game , glad I didn't . Beaten to the ball lack of intensity , flogged in the midfield .

Is your Coach under pressure? Is your Club being whipped every week by 10 goals? Never fear, CFC is here, we will help you fix all our woes. Last week and this week (so far) are so 2015. Surely we deserve a PP more than Brisbane if we get flogged here. A cynic would even say we.....ahhhh never mind.
Sam Rowe playing even below his usual average standard.
Bolts came out and went rabid on the players. Good.

Its last week to a tee. They just showed Bolts tearing them a new one at 1/4 time.
Um , how did we win 6 games earlier this year?
Its last week to a tee. They just showed Bolts tearing them a new one at 1/4 time.
First time I have seen Bolts go the dog on them, will be interesting to see how they respond to the spray
Not well if the first five minutes are anything to go by. Zorko towelling us up.
We are really playing reactionary they make the move our first thought is to watch them and see what they do instead of creating the play our selves, we are deer in the headlight ATM.
I dont think we have one player who is beating his man.
Mids have been outstanding
I thought last week was embarrassing. Not sure what this is.
Zorko just beat 2 of ours. Sad display. No winners , leaving it to the same old few to get us into the game. Sad thing no new names putting there hand up to mark there mark . Nice goal Levi
If last week wasn't painful enough to watch, this week is excruciating so far.
We are slow, being out positioned, out marked, and out classed by the cellar dwellers :-[
6 goals down...
C'mon Blues
It's the Zorko show , who is on him?
It's amazing how we bring out the best in a player like Zorko.
Zorko beating 18 more like it. How embarrassing
Nice goal SOJ , showing a little of that class we are hoping he has.
JSOS has heaps of composure - similar to Weits. Finds space by taking a couple of steps, ducking back and then changing direction again. Great goal.
Doesn't look good re Cripps knee?
Beaut mark Weiters
Weitering looking more comfortable today , similar to early in the season
Far too early to say. They wouldn't have let him walk to the rooms if they thought it was serious.
Nice mark Jones nice pack grab , and misses ... Seems the story of the season
Jones.... What a mark, nice goal, on no a point from point blank....
Jones is dominating in the air today. He's now taken 3 contested marks in scoring distance but lost one as Casboult got a free. But his kicking lets him down.
Showing more fight , creating chances , but that final kick into the 50 we can't complete
If the game was called marking Jones would be a champion.
Another good Jones mark - kicks into his man. Brisbane convert ...as a result
Is Jones' tank a lot better now? Seems to be getting to more contests even if in retrospect I wish he didn't.
Turned inside out by Robbo inside 50... Sad
Any chance of Thomas doing the right thing and retiring, because he is worse than useless, he's a liability.
Jones... all effort, zero ability.
Great Levi tackle
Does seem so Mav , but his job is to impact on the scoreboard. We just can't break that bad habit lots of energy , no reward
Doc has not had a great day, has been beaten in one on one several times today. Defence under pressure, Lions playing with conviction , we are running around with out direction
Hard to win games when your midfield doesn't show up.
*O^%*&^*( it shts me no end, every time we play this mob Zorko, Rich, Robbo and Rockliff have an absolute picnic. Were is the defensive effort from our midfield??????
On the plus side, I thought we would be behind by 10 goals by half time at the rat we were going so tick for that.
On the negative side, so breathtaking terrible in every department. Not a winner on the park, too slow, too sloppy, second to the ball, too many turnovers.
Welcome to Carlton Bolts.
What a disgrace this rabble is again....lot's of talk this year....can't polish a turd Bolts!!
Bring back Mick !
7 goals down against a laughing stock of a team and it's only half time.
I thought these embarrassing loses were a thing of the past :-\
Looking forward to what we can bring 2nd half (probably crippa-less).
I'm struggling to see much out of 75 - 35 first half, other than opposition skill (they look so much more cohesive than us). Turnovers galore, getting embarrassing. Looking like the last flogging we got at the Gabba.
C'mon Blues
Cunningham might be a wanted fugitive - seems to be avoiding the cameras following the play.
Clubs love playing us, no matter how you're going, we'll play you back into form by pretending to be witches hats. So predictable that they would come out and torch us this week BECAUSE WE ARE STILL AS MENTALLY SOFT AS FRESH COW SHT.
Jones showing why he spent so much time in the VFL this year, in a competition with Levi to see who can burn more scoring opportunities.

Not hard or desperate enough at the footy and we are getting smashed on the outside by their harder running.....if someone can tell me why we signed Boekhorst for another year I'd love to know...along with Thomas he has been a passenger.
Bolton outcoached as well....Simpson and Docherty are being sat on by their opponent and are offering no drive.....I'd move one to the midfield....
Rucks have been useless IMO and while Jones has marked well he just has no nous for the game....
Cripps has tried hard and is now injured..lets hope its nothing serious and can someone attempt to mind Zorko...at least get close to him...
For the second week in a row I am off to the garden at 1/2 time. Very ordinary, SOSOS goal the only highlight.
Yep, do the honourable thing Thomas and retire, you're embarrassing yourself and the club.
Cunningham might be a wanted fugitive - seems to be avoiding the cameras following the play.
Ha ha pay that , I was hoping of a surprise performance from him today
Sorry but i have to say something here. This is ridiculous. Brisbane lost by 140 last week. We serve this up. Heads must roll. I am not convinced about Bolton and his rubbish teacher talk. Neither am i convinced about gibbs and his 15 poxy weak disposals. If we dont show something in the second half, im sending in my membership richmond style .
A poor effort so far, too many skill errors to count.
Cripps and Gibbs were the only two keeping us semi respectable and Cripps is probably done for the day if not the season, hard to see us getting back but it gives some of the lesser lights like Boekhorst, Armfield, Buckley and Kerridge a chance to make a mark.
We'll see if any of them are any good in the second half.
Bring back Mick !
7 goals down against a laughing stock of a team and it's only half time.
I thought these embarrassing loses were a thing of the past :-\
Alot of hard work early in the year has certainly been undone in the last two weeks.
So.....haven't watched or listened to a second of this game, just got home & saw the score......WTF!?
I'm over it........I really am.....
Cunningham might be a wanted fugitive - seems to be avoiding the cameras following the play.
lol
The energy & cohesion our defence was showing early this season has all but gone today. Hacks out of the back half have, turn overs every where, and lack of direction from the mid field again makes it hard for any forwards.
Cas has the kicking boots on today at least.
Well Casboult starts us off in the right way, let's hope it's a game of two halves & we turn it on
Cripps is out there.
Have you ever seen some many mistakes in 5 mins by both sides?
I'm at the Hawks/Roos game so only checking in on scores - embarrassing but not surprising. Meh.
Kicked a couple of points at least...
Finally, BB pops a set shot through
Boekhurst scores a Goal with his 1st kick.
Maybe I am just hoping but if we can keep up the intent, create some positive forward entries , it's only 5 goals.
Oh and forgot, take our chances up forward
Casboult.... Top tackle.
Kicking for goal.... A point
A touch more competitive now
Good run by Buckley, pity only a point resulted. One of Buckley's better games so far.
Certainly finding some run, but anything that goes near our 50m black hole is lost quickly , no forward defensive pressure to keep the ball in the 50
Jones refused to hand pass to Gibbs. Turnover.
Good pressure Kerridge
Nice goal SOJ took the responsibility slots it , nice work
BB - Buckley - SOJ - goal from boundary
Good sequence
JSOS has now worked out how to do the forward's hesitation. Could have kicked to Daisy but went back for the set shot. Goal!
We have 45 to 37 inside 50.
Buckley has added the spark this qtr , good to see , tide is turning
Buckley slots it, good response Blues
Bit of biffo
Casboult lines up on siren - point.
25 points down at 3/4 time
Casboult marks on siren, shanks a point. - 25
Love Levi, but as a team you can only afford those misses for so long before it's a liability. Robs the side of energy & drive when you continually see the opportunities lost
Jones just kills the run. If that handball had hit a target the score could be different at 3qtr time. So frustrating.
Not to mention that kick from Cas.
Much better. A lot more run. Buckley big improver. Boekhurst and Cunningham starting to get involved.
Lifted that qtr. Well done Buckley, SOJ, Cunningham, BB, and Levi. If we could just finish of those gettable ones...... We'd be in it with a chance
Just when we needed some luck, bad umpiring decision , Rowe wasn't near him, gets a free and goal
Beautiful Curnow, Jones, Army, Levi goals
Just when we needed some luck, bad umpiring decision , Rowe wasn't near him, gets a free and goal
Grrrr >:( x 2
Good run BB
This is a time in the game where we need a leader to rally the players , Murphy would have been valuable here
Umps are killing me. Have Bris been pinged for holding the ball at all today? The last one against Jones was crazy.
Excellent Army, simmo, Cas, Wright with a goal
Good endeavor, lack finish.... Same old..
Last 5 mins is the story of our season in many ways, lots of energy at times, flashes of team work, but no system forward & no reward for the effort.
Great to see Rowe marking - well done. Sets up a shot SOJ
Well I stand corrected - all class Jack
Maybe the best thing to come out of the game today has been SOJ , making his mark up forward. Confidence growing, seems more composed
Simmo putting in a big finish
Well done again Rowe, loving his push off
Armfield! !!!
Awesome Army nice kick
Army gets his chance - converts.... Great response Dennis
Army goals despite quiet day. -5
98 - 93
Go Blues
Brilliant soccered point BB
Simmo just willing his body into the game
Finishing with guts..
And we get a free inside 50
2 mins - 3pts
Who is going to be the hero?
FFAAAAARRRRRKK
Fantastic 2nd half, but shot ourselves in the foot in the first.
Good to see some fight in the second half, but overall we didn't deserve it with the rubbish put up in the first half. Those misses at goal early again tell, the tale
Means crap having a decent second half -against Brisbane ffs. Over it
Nice fight back, and nice to kick nearly 100 points from 30 scoring shots. But seriously, we struggle against the lions ?
Cameos from younger players - good.
More senior players - horrid.
No hero... no clue. Gutted!
How you can have 20+ more inside-50s, 9 extra scoring shots and still lose... against a team that has gone down by 230+ points in the last 2 weeks. And there go my tips for the week too. crape
Rd 10 we beat the Cats and beat the Lions a week later. Since then it's been 9 straight losses :(
I'd like to say we're tanking but the late-game fightbacks prove that we're not... we're still just a bery poor football team.
OK guys, over to the post match thread. Disasters enough on this one.
