Lets end the misery
Great Start Blues ::)
We're playing for a spot in 8 right?
Disposals 50 to 18
10 players 9 mins in haven't touches the ball.
Was anyone expecting any different?
wow this commentator is bad.
WE are a disgrace
Casboult ............... brain of an ant !!!
This game will be shot at qtr time
Why do we out ourselves through this.
How dare you insult ants!!! >:D >:D >:D >:D
Huge jumper clash here.
Do our players know there is a place in the finals at stake here ??
FFS, lost last week when we shouldn't of and now aren't in the race.
Can't wait for the cleanout of the deadwood.
simpson is going to get shoulder injuries carrying this team
thank god we have simpson
Good goal from our only decent player. Can't believe how weak the tackling is.
Is Yarran playing?
Need to change the lyrics to our song to "Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb, Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb, Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb, we are the navy blues...."
MM Supercoach, Casboult marks on wing, kicks to Betts one on one inside F50!!!
FMD, we are a joke!
Warnock is an oxygen thief of the highest order.
Yes. Not that you can tell. Until he took that mark.
Kicking has gone to sh..........
Absolutely no effort or urgency from the team.
You would think they feel guilty about taking Essendons place if they win.
Well don as usual Yaz >:(
Yep, and he just missed a set shot from 40m out dead in front and nearly didn't even make it for a point.
Simmo only one going in
Hinkley winning so far!
we are sh1te- real sh1te
Our players are crapping themselves in close, there is so much fumbling of the aggot it resembles an U/11 match.
Looks like there is 25 of them and 8 of us
77 to 39, possessions. Going great
Why is it that we always make Monfries look like a good player ??
Must have been practicing our kick this week efficiency currently sitting on 59%
They've had a year to get Casboult's kicking right.
Yaz for his 2nd soda.
KICK IT YARRAN, CHRIST
ffs. first round for that.
Sickening.
Missed by a country mile !!!
Woeful !!!
Bring back fevola
Surely we are taking the pi$$ >:(
I have no doubt Chris Yarran will not be out our club next year. Disinterested doesnt begin to describe him.
Mentally shot.
Come on North.
embarrassing.
We just just get out worked by kids every week.
seriously, i'd like to start a new thread about which club other than these flogs you'd rather follow. Life would be so much better
A year!!!!
This bloke was drafted, de-listed and re-drafted and has been in our system for five years now!
The funny part is that people here are suggesting 1st round pick for him, after Mick has completely damaged him :o
No mate, this is them.
Early days i know but FFS, show some urgency
And the peanut who decided on todays strips should be sacked on the spot.
Something is seriously wrong with this lot. ffs.
Said that in the warm up, the AFL are very stoopid. It can't be that hard to workout.
FFS they are patting each other on the back at 1/4 time like it is a job well done!
It's over for quite a few of them, they just don't realise it yet!
1.5
Unlike the Cats who have a comp for most goal assists, looks like we have one for the most sitters missed.
Well usually wear the clash top against Port, seems like it was our stuff up not knowing Port were wearing their traditional top.
It was decided by Eddie and Kochie.
Can you believe this crap.?
We controlled the last 10 minutes but couldn't score.
Its been like this for years.
with a prez like Sticks, yes.
We could not even control bowel movements, they are craping themselves!
I couldn't see the goal umpire. Did Yaz kick that one?
They would 3-4 goals further up if it wasn't for Simmo.
If it wasnt for K Simpson, we' be farked
Its pretty simple, they know how to kick for goal, we dont.
Has Tom Bell ever stuck a tackle. Ever.
How do they have so many lose men all over the ground?
Great chase and tackle by Jeffie
2.6 I'm calling another 22+ behinds
WTF was that kick from Garlett ??? >:D
The 3 amigos are taking the piss surely.
I remember when Murphy was a decent player.
Port's ball movement out of the back half is very good.
I thought the whole 23 are taking the piss
Putrid decision by the umpire !!
Turnovers are killing us, and add that one to Mitch ::)
These blokes are craping themselves, craping themselves that they might have to play finals!
Mick's chucked it in.
Here comes "Mad Monday".
should have waited 1 more year for roos
Jarrad Waite, can you set the bar any lower ??
Super coach, hopefully he knows how to coach on Monday.
So much for #1, #2 etc draft picks......
MM should resign after this..... if we lose.
Time to turn off before I the remote goes through the TV.
Supporters might be calling for his head anyway ......... ???
Walk away Mick,
Your health comes first.
35 points down with no-one remotely looking like they want to win, this is going to get very ugly & embarrassing unless we extract the digit right now.
Hasn't had a kick.
It's like watching the Wizard of Oz.
No Heart, No Courage, No Brains.
If we can't peg them back 2-goals in this last 7-mins of the second we are going to get belted.
Lovely to watch. Hard work and gut running by Port.
This could be 100+
no leadership, no idea no motivation from the Coach clearly.
Time MM takes some heat for this garbage....
lol. Excellent.
flog - talking about flags and great things before the start of the season
look at us now mick
Murphy attempt to tackle is beyond joke
Those untouchables are truly untouchable, nobody could possibly want them!
We r awesome!
you have to admire port - nothing to play for, and they go in hard
At this stage of the game......
this team is not worth a pinch of crap. >:(
They are playing like a team that don't really want to be there.
You can forgive lack of ability but you can't forgive lack of effort
Wow look at that run.
Hard work.
they are working 10 times harder than us
lol imagine if we do make finals!
Thank god we do not have to put up with another week of that!
One team is told to chip up the boundary and wonders why we get carved up back through the middle.
Old gameplan, old school coaching, same old blues.
Paganesque.
you really wouldn't know 15 of our guys are out there today......
The effort of the half forwards and midfield is a joke. Ball just comes out so easy.
This was the concern for me, the game looked to be passing MM by before he came to us. I gave him some benefit of the doubt, but today proves it has past him by!
No effort mate. No Chase. No Desire. No Tackle. No nothing.
Game plan doesn't matter if you can't do the basics.
Memo to the CFC.
Don't bother sending out my interstate membership renewal.
These mugs care not for the club, why should i?
>:(
Port have missed a couple of gettable shots that would of completely finished us off.
2 goal qtr, what a game plan.
3.7 at half time.
Great coaching Mick. Take a check and leave the Club please.
Don't agree, the game plan gives players confidence and motivation. If you cannot sell the game plan to the players you have lost before you start!
MM will tell us they were not good enough, that it was not him or the game plan, but the truth is before the injuries hit Ratten was getting more out of this list!
Opposition clubs have had 20 years to study MMs game plan, he is a one trick pony and they know his trick in detail!
Enter Worsfold!
I've had to crack a bottle of red, I can't handle this sh1t !!!!
Playing for the jumper doesn't mean much to these guys does it.
I know I know.
There workrate away from the contest (spread) is great and we're just watching
But it's also easy to get a lot of number to one side of the ground and split back through the middle.
Watch every kick out, loooonnggg to the boundary. Easy to defend, easy to counter.
It's not 2009/2010 anymore, turnovers and yuck movement is key.
Few delistings ahead
Rattan can say that he won more games last year.
Few ???
Fairly conservative there Lance, I reckon it will be more like a massive avalanche actually.
Starting with the coaching panel!
Doesn't mean anything to the coach.
One Million Dollars. MM is getting One Million Dollars from us for this year.
If he had any screwing conscience at all, he would hand back that pay.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, he has killed the spirit of our boys and now their confidence is shot. They are not interested because every screwing game I've been to this year, they don't know what the screw they're supposed to be doing.
Eddie M must be laughing his head off. What a complete embarrassment.
And what kind of first year coach comes in and says the list needs to be culled dramatically and that it's the fault of the players that they can't follow his game plan. For a million dollars, I expect the man to work around deficiencies, build up our boys, get THE VERY BEST out of them. Ask yourself - why are they no longer interested? Murph is a shadow of himself, Yaz has zero confidence, Betts DGAF, Walker's dropped off, Waite looks over it :( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Malthouse's kicking for goal has been terrible the last couple of weeks.
There are players that make things happen-----then there are ours, who wonder WTF happened!
Awful first half, just effin' awful. Just don't look like they're remotely interested. >:(
Tom Bell, David Ellard, Matthew Watson, Sam Rowe (I know he's re-signed) Shaun Hampson, Robert Warnock. I also looked to trade Lucas, Yarran, Garlett, Betts, Robinson.
They could of paid me a third of that and got the same result !!!
We're poor ..... and this game exposes Malthouse's shortcomings as a coach as much as it does amplify the lazy administration of a club where accountability is non-existent and respect for our history, something they simply don't honour.
This one starts at the top ..... and to suggest otherwise is to mask failure for another decade.
It's so hard to watch.
Farm knows what we can do here - it's a slaughterhouse.
Kreuzer has 2 possessions to half time
Menzel has 2 possessions
Curnow has 4
Henderson has 1
Jamison has 2
McInnes has 1
Murphy has 8
Bell has 8
Warnock has 3
9 players doing zip. Can't win with that effort.
Quoted for truth & accuracy !!
Well said DTTL.
You can turnover as many as you like, but you need to find better to replace. I doubt it will be a huge turnover and I'm not talking number wise.
I don't think we could play worse than that in the second half, lets hope we can make a charge and have a few things go our way.
17 shots to 10
Gulf in class and uncontested possession.
Kicking from the boundary line.
Sad thing is, by the time MM has finished his tenure and goes off to pasture with his millions, he'll have completely destroyed or traded any/all the talent that we had left when he came here.
As someone else said, the 3 amigos are taking the piss and I'll be amazed if any more than one survive to next year and the last will be gone by end of next year.
We've been left behind by Port, Doggies, The Roos and (on recent efforts) Brisbane who don't even have a coach FFS :-[
How about when Port had two men back but we didn't respond.
MBB, he's got to take some blame for this crape.
He's taken an average side and sucked the life out of them.
Tid team is cooked, letsget out of there ASAP and forget 2013 ever happened. Can't say 2014 holds much attraction either!
Put Casboult down as one...the game is football..and he cannot kick
Ellard...just lacks class and doesnt have the weapons to be a senior midfielder
Jamison and Waite...time to rebuild a new team structure without them..Schulz has smashed Jamo.
We know Murphy can play...but not as Captain...
Curnow and Bell have held Boak and Wingard but done little themselves....
Warnock.....seen statues do more....
Kruezer....one mark and one goal.....need more.
Eddie llittle bit from the wannabe gangster and crow but not enough...
Yarran...should have three goals....has one and questions will keep being asked about his future.
Touhy...been crap....
Simpson started well and we were running our plays through him but appears now to have a stopper on him.
Robbo..few possies but nothing creative....
Gibbs...been ok but not infleuential..
Henderson...wasted down back....we look better with him in attack....
How many times does it have to be said, no one else wants the top job O:-)
It's really simple - we made a mistake getting MM. He is an arrogant, stubborn fool who lost *most* of the players when he said there'll be a big cull of the list and then Swann went and did the same (or Swann said it before MM).
You can't get the best out of a team when you say half way through the year they're not good enough to execute his game plan - because, you know, we haven't seen it for years and years already ::) and then say you'll get rid of a big chunk of your list. Whether that's necessary or not, there'll be no good morale when crap like that is said publicly about any team or company - it just creates uncertainty and loss of confidence.
It's all Malthouse's fault. Our guys don't hit targets? Micks fault. They don't chase? Mick's fault. Set shots from straight in front on the full? Micks fault.
Ratten built this weak as piss side.
What crap. These players have already had Ratten sacked with insipid performances against Port and Gold Coast last year with finals on the line.
They are out of excuses and need to take the heat.
MM coached a side to a GF two years back and a premiership 3 years back. If you think the game has past him by that much you are kidding. Can't remember any Collingwood players giving up like this group does.
Is it too hard? Or is it your heart?
You're right we would be 9pts down if had have kicked straight ::)
and a third again neeld could have done better
Agree...is it Mick's fault he has a player like Casboult who has failed kicking 101 every year he has been at the club.....
I'd rather fling these imposters and take a chance on some untried young 'uns, at least you know the newbies will be giving it everything they have got.
The problem we have is that people, and by people I mean coaches at our club, think a bloke like Warnock(206cm) getting 40 taps makes him a footballer. He is a footballers ar5ehole.
And Casboult at 200cm x 105kg marking uncontested on the wing and being bumped off the ball by 180cm midfielders is a good result!
We spend more time stopping players from other clubs, who are mostly nobodies against teams like Geelong or Sydney, than we do letting blokes like Murphy and Gibbs run free. Being a tagger does not make you a footballer and our coaches are nothing more than a bunch of stats nerds and bootlickers!
So surely the super coach should be able to do a bit better with them.
Primus built Port Adelaide.
Our captain 8 touches the old bum tagging him 19 touched and 3 more then anyone else on the field.
Probably sums us up.
We're sh1t
Yes I would have much rather he stated his love for the pathetic excuses for footballers wearing our once great jumper. He should have announced to the world that the mediocrity delivered this year on the field by FraudFC is ok and given all the players in question a hug.
Agreed. Hinkley has done precisely what MM hasn't.
These threads sometimes end up being funny when read in hindsight.
Let's hope this is one of those occasions.
No point trying to limit the damage.
screw the defence
Hopefully they just go on the attack.
It's our natural game
I personally don't want the club to play finals if we have to watch them play like this.
If Murph was any sort of leader he would have gathered them at half time and given them what for!! didnt see it happen on TV they all just trudged off :-[
I would not be surprised to find MM fall on his sword after today!
If he values his career and reputation it is better that he goes now, rather than be frog marched out after the next AGM.
I don't mind that MM is arrogant and egotistical. I want someone coaching who believes in their own self worth.
But fancy choosing a captain who has none of these qualities.
137 uncontested possessions to 51
Incredible goal by Betts !!!
Again, they have dropped a number back and we haven't responded.
Auditioning for his new club???
Betts kicks that goal and says, well isn't that worth 600 grand.
Their run has cut us up completely. Players are lost around the ground.
39 points ............................. !!!!
Anyone do any homework on Ebert or any of the Port guys. Very poor.
Captain goal then murphy refused to go in... he is a disgrace what a sht captain the worst in the comp
Yazz to WD.
these ba$tards put me through this every weekend, and it get worse as we go
Sucked the confidence from them playing a game style that is outdated and takes away from their natural style.
No idea where and who they should be kicking too.
Do we have a kicking coach?
If so first to go!
We have to blame the coach because he is the coach!
Last year he said our list was good enough to win a flag & refused to do any trading whatsoever.
This year our list is crap after 1 year of his tenure.
U do the math!!
A coach teaches youngsters how to play, builds confidence, teaches the basics of play. You run harder for longer ( the mantra of my sons U14 team).
The coach devises a gameplan & makes the players follow it.
That's what coaches do.
Don't go blaming inexperienced players like casboult, bell, etc when obviously the deficiencies are in the coaching panel
Lets not rest there, the recruiting team has been terrible also.
Not too hard when it comes to picking # 1's but anything else we have really struggled. We have draft picks away for warnock.
We picked Watson over darling etc
We hardly played laidler at all this year, why?
I'm not sure about a lot of things but I know this year has been a major disappointment.
I luv my blues & at this rate it's going to be well over 20 years between premierships!
Can't run.
Leave him forward and hope KCornes follows.
Malthouse's fault for that one too.
lol.
Micky has a massive job to do with these front running pretenders.
Should have asked for $2 million
Embarrassing beyond all possible levels.
can anyone MOVE THE BALL MORE FORWARD MORE SLOWLY THAN OUR MIDS?
Lets keep bombing it to the pockets... Working well :-)
seriously yarran has been our best.. trying a lot more than anyone else just his disposal letting him down
Malthouse's gameplan to hog the boundary line is farcical !!
Set shots 8-5 port
1-5 and 2 on the full for blues.
Micks fault
this is melbournesque
trying to understan why subed levi
Hinkley and the rest of the comp agrees.
Maybe Melb could take this wasted old **** off our hands.
apparently its his fault because he sucked the confidence out of them.
Because he is a massive spud !!
13 shots to 8 doesn't worry you? Defensive master plan, 13 set shots... Awesome.
Bring it through the corridor ffs!
Ffs mick why can't you kick straight?
Thought I'd dig this out to save us having to watch the rest of the game ;D
http://archive.carltonsc.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=18113&start=125&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
All our blokes can fit into three groups.
Can't kick
No Heart
Chris Judd
Come on!!!
Goal to Curnow and it's now 23 points, trying to work out how we have strung together a couple of goals together actually.
Wow through the middle amazing.
Probably get public ally berated and subbed.
Careful Sheik you will get flamed!
Holding the ball ? Ffs.
That last goal cost us. Game over I think.
We won a qtr, now all we need is another 6 qtrs like that and we win the game.
Don't care, I speak my mind, sometimes others don't agree with me but that doesn't mean I should temper my thoughts.
Dominated that quarter but didn't make them pay. They made us pay every time.
You cannot possibly blame umpiring for this, it would not even contribute to 10% of the outcome!
Considering football fans yell "BAAAAAAAALLLLL" for everything I still find it amazing that umpires still pay a couple each match where no one in the stadium is appealing for it.
He's talking about the last goal, think before you post.
Yeah gained almost a goal, smashed em!
Think before you post!
Next thing you will tell me we are losing because they subbed Casboult!
;) bit of fun. Yes umps not the reason we are behind.
Come on murph!!!
Good start.
After the first few years of this crap it was occasionally funny, not anymore!
Kreuzer free FFS
Carlton are officially categorically crap. Utter cr?p.
bunch of girls.
Come on!!!!
That's the way.. Play on yazz.
Through the middle again!!
Finally Yarran nails one and we are within 3-goals.
Just asked Siri if we are going to win. After checking her sources she "doesn't know".
Port have started thinking about next week, it could be the only thing that gives us a chance!
Eddie!!!!!!!
That's two goal by running inboard. Reckon they will be dropped next week.
Great play to set Eddie up for an easy set shot ................ where the hell was this fight in the first three quarters.
Stands out like the dogs proverbial.
Reckon Micks worked it out.
4 points come on!!!
Port have stopped !!
Murph been huge!
WTF was that from Bell ???
its torturous isnt it
They specialise in tearing your heart out!
I want us to win just to see Brayshaw sook it up!
who is our skills coach some of our kicking is terrible
just fark off waite you reckless toss
Armfield you goose !!!
Waite is starting to do dumb things.
Waite always does dumb things
MAN UP !!!!!!!
now he is being a captain
man, iamgine if murf missed that
Round 23 and Murph plays like a Captain
The making of the skipper?
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Is that the first shepherd for the year???
Bell. Makes up for that other one big time !!!
wtf were in front
BELL !!!
Makes up for that atrocious kick OOTF earlier ..........
We've hit the front !!
FUASKJFSKLFJSELKFNSELKF!!!!!!! ! ICKCKCKCK
Gibbs ............. !!
8-points up with 4-mins to play !!
Clear throw
Frrkn throw!!!
Was a throw, not paid and then friggen' Wingard goals !!
IS ANYONE listening to fox sports - is this commentator not the worst, unenthusiastic of all time?
http://www.sportlemon.tv/20130830/vv5220a7d7c22c83.76021941-631246.html
Waite has a chance to just about finish this one for us.
Bell doing some damage in the packs. ;)
Kill the clock
Hold on!!!
One more and we are home, next goal virtually wins.
STFU still plenty of time to lose it
Kicking them from anywhere.
Bloody hell, Schulz kicks a freakish one on his left.
WIN !!!!
a wins a win but geez where was the effort in the first half
I love you Mick!!
incrediblr
Not the same side. That was just... impossible.
why do they only play like they should for one quarter? why???
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
