Murphy out.
Graham in.
Help!
Decent start from the boys. Fighting it out in a rough battle.
Wright kicks the first goal of the game after putting his head over it.
A couple of decent fwd 50 tackles early on. Need to keep up the pressure.
Matty Wright = Mr Reliable. Love him.
Darcy and Richo love us don't they?
HTB rule must change.
We just keep bombing it like last week.
Goldstein, Waite and Brown are killing us.
I don't know if I can watch this.
Beyond bad.
We're looking like losing by 100.
We have a strong breeze apparently.
Once again, as has happened so much over the last decade and a half, this club just doesn't care enough.
This is the beginning of the end for Bolton.
That block free kick to Brown was a farce. HTB on SOSOS even worse.
Kruezer is still injured. It’s so obvious he’s restricted. Have Phillips as a back up but nope don’t use play an injured player instead.
Pack of dumb kents.
:-[
Nothing else to say.....
Doesn't even look like we're trying.
Agreed, if anything Brown was holding his arm but that would have been picky.
Why do people say we're not trying?
We're not good enough. Try all you like.
Brown is another Lynch story, just too big for our blokes who just want to hold, block and give away dumb free kicks, Jones needs another player to help him out.
Ziebell playing forward on Mullet is another disaster matchup....
And that’s all she wrote Krudds....what a disaster this side is ...capitulated already >:(
Tanking!!! But we're not disguising it very well...
Cripps captain and we get that for a quarter.
Probably everyone lining up Murphy's captaincy can get back in their box as that was one of our worst quarters for the year.
We're being outclassed by a bottom four side, the season is going from bad to worse.
North's onballers doing as they please.
Oh well, definitely different to last week, the putrid qtr was the first. Here's hoping.
Comical
I wonder when Garlett, Weitering and Kennedy will arrive at the ground?
Nice l foot snap Garlett
levi's mitts not as sticky as usual.
That hurt
Garlett not paid for htb.... unbelievable
this has been an awful start to the year
I honestly was excited we'd do better and be competitive , it seems all gains we've made has just evaporated
Probably worst I have ever seen Chased down and spun 360 degrees and touched down.
This bloke could end up with 10 or 12 tonight.
Well we let Josh Thomas kick 5.
Yes, it was one year where I felt a bit excited that we could finally start to move up the ladder. A positive pre-season, very good first game against the premiers then this crap. What a letdown..............again!
I thought our big problem was picking a defense that is too tall. Tonight, it seems as though it's not tall enough.
Our confidence is shot to pieces, we're making schoolboy errors.
It's beyond embarrassing.
The midfield are not accountable. The backline are helpless.
I know with a young list, you'll get up and down, but this is disturbing
weitering is shot, looks disinterested and slower, silvagni is easily frustrated, cripps workload will be too much until he breaks.
i dont know what to make of it
Need to get rid of Andrew McKay and pay Neil Balme double what he's on.
Looking like we'll see Brown kick 8 against us this week >:D
Green shoots and sprouts... farrrk off
Good night.
Yawwwn
A real look at a midfield without Gibbs and Murphy. We don't miss them with hard bodies like Graham in the wings.
Our midfield now bats one deep.
Kennedy remains a concern.
Any reason why we drafted Dow? Fumbles, constantly over runs the ball, can't hit targets.... DUCKING USELESS.
It seems so.
What exactly does Andy Mac do ?
Balme won't come to us even if we pay him 10x.
kid can play, just in a boys body
40 points down 6 minutes before half time....
we aren’t even playing the good sides yet...really looking forward to those matches...
Really? Four games and shown nothing, absolutely nothing.
We had 2 years of ordinary nothingness under Mick, then the 3rd year turns to sh1t. We had 2 years of ordinary nothingness under Bolts, and the 3rd year looks like turning to sh1t.
Interesting ............
We've had one period of enjoyment in footy since 2001, between 2008-13, which gave us some hope and fun. That list was never that good though beyond the cream on top so we were never going to win the big one, but at least you got to look forward to the footy each week thinking you were a shot. We need that period, where there was real effort and commitment combined with some of the players we have recently drafted.
I think I'm going to cry :'(
Someone step up PLEASE
Are they for real
Interestingly, the one bloke we did do pretty well under we sacked.
Anyway, that's for another thread.
Seems odd doesn't. He has all the time in the world with a best midfield in the comp.
Nice goal Jack
It's like we're playing in slow motion.
your right, but in a parallel universe, im happy tigers reached the heights we thought we'd get to, despite at times being ahead of them.
I hate saying it, but murphy has been our Achilles heel . Simply not a leader and just too soft, Cant wait til he retires.
Unwatchable.
We have absolutely nothing to get excited about.
We are a rabble.
I know Jack gets a lot of love around here, but gee I reckon he's ordinary. Another average trier. How many of this type do we have ?
Our first coherent piece of play, just before half time.
At last Garletts tackle is rewarded
Weiters has been limping for a quarter
This is as bad as I've seen since the Pagan days. It's like a Greek tragedy of epic proportions. I'm stunned we can be this bad against a team who I thought would win the wooden spoon. This year is over. Time to try and use the draft again to get better. Remind me again why we got so excited about getting Kennedy?? Sheesh.
Limp is more the word I would use....
Its certainly looking that way. But you could say that about alot of our players at the moment. Fumbles, missed kicks, missed hand balls, turn overs, dropped marks, slipped tackles, led to the ball at nearly every contest. I am struggling to find anything we are doing well. Skill errors and positioning is killing us. When a bloke like Jed Anderson plays well against you, you know your in strife. Just a team bereft of confidence on every line. Its hard to single out culprits, they whole team is terrible. Even Cripps, he's been good but he's been bad at the same time. The fiasco in the fwd line was embarassing.
We are atrocious.....
Did Graham stay on?
No method going forward
Don't worry GTC. Further to my earlier reference to history repeating, we'll probably get to R8, be sitting at 1-7, then Bolts will be sacked, just like 2015. Barker will take over, we'll win the spoon again, and on it goes.
Yep..stayed on the list about 2-3 years too long.....
Has Bolton lost the group? I think the question needs to be asked.
We have made spuds like Jed Anderson look good......
Very very poor skills execution and awareness are our undoing atm. We were better in the last 10 mins but failed to gain any meaningful reward for our efforts. A pretty toxic half of footy as far as our morale is concerned I'm afraid. We desperately need some kind of inspiration, divine or earthly!
Plowman walked off in a tracksuit top. Is he done....or just keeping warm??
I actually think this is Dow’s best game to date, albeit his benchmark to date is low. Silvagni has tried hard and is far from our worst.
We’ve got absolutely nothing from SPS, Kennedy, Fischer, Cunningham, C Curnow.
O’Shea is nothing short of horrible and is in the Lamb and Polson league.
Taking a cue from Gibbs and Russell and starting his own fashion label. Just getting feedback from the lads. More taffeta, or less ?
Pagan days? This is down there with Wayne Britain.
Use the draft AND pay whatever it takes to get the best free agents - both lynch and Sloane
Cripps frustrated and good to see him react to that spud Jacobs pushing him in a dangerous manner.....needs help, been really disappointed in Kennedy, cant get the ball and
been off the pace..
You have to be at the ground to listen to the most nauseating tosser of an on field announcer. He is a shocker..... almost as sickening as our effort.
We simply cannot have another injury. I think Weiters has a leg injury.
I want results now, screw the early picks. We've have first round pick after first round pick, we had 5 blokes who won rising star nominations last year, now all I want is phuking attitude and commitment. First picks won't give you that. That has to come from within the club. Enough is enough. We've built a list I now, as a member, demand results.
Have to say that non-free-kick in the second when we had a bit of a run on was the worst one of it's kind in living memory. A guy gets tackled does the 360 then outs the ball on the ground before hand-balling off. Play on! Freeking hell. That eventually led to their first goal in the quarter and the rest is history.
This is not a lot of fun. Our skills are poor. We are missing players we cannot really do without. And too many players out there just not wanting it enough.
Pagan interview - says we haven't recovered from the draconian penalties....
You think >:(
x2...shocking non call that cost us big time....umpiring has been poor.....
We are Carlton, if that was the case, he would have been gone after rnd 3. There is not alot going right at the minute.
2018 Additions playing tonight
Mullet
O’Shea
Kennedy
Dow
O’Brien
Garlett
Apart from Dow not one else of this new group is even close to afl standard.
That’s a 1/3 of the team.
360? He went at least 540 and got away with it.
That was the Garlett tackle.... I was spewing
Fitness questions over Weitering and Plowman. Just what we need.
He's bonkers. That era was practically pre Jurassic.
The guy is doing my head in!!!
We certainly haven't recovered since the draconian penalties!
What you mean it had nothing to do with picking blokes like Bootsma, Watson, Lucas and Menzel??
Oh there's Graham. Kicking backwards
We were on the road to recovery, and needed some more help and some more puzzle pieces, but we shot ourselves in the testy satchels.
Not good, Poor forward play.
Jack's playing OK, but his disposal has been terrible.
Jack Silvagni: your papers have been stamped.
Is casboult on the ground? When majak is contributing you're puked.
Oh, for a CHF, of any kind, to organise whatever we have forward of centre.
I will never understand umpires. What I see and what they see have very little in common.
This is the worst performing carlton list that I've ever seen.
Need a clean out from the top down .... desperately
This time, get serious about it
Lachie Plowman: your papers have been stamped.
Careful, Paul won't have you bagging umpires.
Hey Casboult, what about actually doing something useful like taking out Daw in a marking contest or something? Because you are useless, absolutely useless otherwise.
That was weak, really weak
I seriously fear we will not win a game this year based on this effort tonight.
73 to 22. I'm speechless.
Words are failing me......awful, awful, awful.
We have no idea how to take a mark. That play was really poor.
Weiters +10 on bench. Fisher getting work on sidelines
Every kick, every handball, every passage of play seems to be under pressure. When a fat little plodder like Cunnington walks around tackles...
I understand why Levi doesn't chase: every tackle he makes gets penalised.
Eagles next week who are pumping the Suns.
Geezus, commentators are starting to make excuses for us. Patronizing pr!ks.
Matt Kennedy: your papers have been stamped.
half of the team today was still breastfeeding
He's either injured or utterly taking the piss.
While you have the stamp out there’s another dozen I could name.
F me. This is going to be a 100+ point loss on a windy wet night in Tassie :-[
need another ink pad
Don't want the ball enough. 2nd to the ball and even our good parts of lay end up as disasters.
????????????....or should that be ????????????
Jones has reverted back into an idiot.
Looking as dumb as he ever has.
Lucky we extended his contract.
Weitering...... How about trying? Utter fraud of a player. Being out of form doesn't excuse putting in. Have a real go or clean out your locker and PHUK OFF.
i think im done with this
17 years, as bad now as it was ever before.
i cant keep paying year in year out.
back to the drugs lol
And I thought Lions were poor today. We are ......
Levi! What a spud. Nice falcon in the goal square no less. You soud.
How are you going at 91 to 22?
I’m outta here @ 3/4 time....they’re inept, they’ve given up & it’s frickin freezing!!!
I think it's time to publicly name names and just embarrass them. Nothing else works.
And just to end the qtr SPS gives a little head-butt. Pffff Weak as p!ZZ this mob.
The only thing I am looking forward to is what Bolts will say now - humor us. I'm really struggling to watch this heartless performance.
SPS jibbed it at the end of the 3/4 quarter. Pulled out of a contest when he thought he was going to get front contact.
Anderson saw it and verbally have it to him.
Embarrassing.
SPS has given us Jack, as has Jack.
Thought he was a bull rider ?
I really don’t understand how umpires determine free kicks. What happens at one end of the ground is a free and the same thing at the other end is play on or a ball up.
Not that it would make a huge difference to the result but it would be a closer contest.
Worse than last week. Killed by a 2nd class midfield.
Our game plan:
Kick 40m, hope someone is there
Everyone at the drop stand still and wait to see what happens
Let north get it. keep standing still
North run away with it, follow slowly.
Hope defence gets back in time to cover.
For all the hype about our improved i50, we've had 37 for 22 freaking points...
Mullett has to be dropped now. As does O'Shea, as does Jack as does ....oh wtf.
Plowman looks injured.
Kennedy also just limped off.
If I hear we traded in mullet cause of his kicking i will
Puke.
Can’t kick for sh1t.
Is there such a thing as a forfeit in AFL?
Kennedy has injured his bad ankle.And we look hopeless. 80 points down.
When you write off the year during round 4, you know something is seriously wrong. >:(
This is just about as low as we've been for a looong time. :(
Kennedy and Plowman trying to get on the injury list to avoid being omitted.
I don't think he was ready last week. Let alone this week.
They've kicked 71 from turnovers
I'm glad Brendan's mum and dad were there tonight to see this. They must be so proud.
Looks like another coach has lost the players. Hope i'm wrong but what goes on for this to keep happening.
Kennedy still out there but looks off
As much as I think Bolton over achieved year 1 and 2... if this year continues like this he will struggle to keep his job. This is getting horrible now.
Considering he didn't touch the ball at all in the first quarter he's looking ok now
Well I win my tip, but didn't expect this sh&%
Kreuzer done?
Nice little effort from youngsters ending in Fisher shot on goal.
Where are the green shoots?
Ffs brown again
I cant/wont single out players because we are team atrocious in our skill execution. The review of the tape this week will make interesting viewing for our players. I think we are lucky if we strung together 3-4 passages of good play. The worst performance by a CFC team I have ever seen.
Gotta love Simmo. Still counting how many players are back
Gotta love Garlett tackle on majak
Spuds the whole lot of them
it was only 4 -5 weeks ago, we looked competitive
something has happened in the last 3-4 weeks
Kruez 16min on bench
Competitive r1 and not a sausage since
Thank feck that's over!
Yes, the real season started
End of game, nice shot of Johnny Barker just biding his time.....#justsayin
Thank you and goodnight
Gutted. On the day that tosser Robinson give the Blues the secret to the ray of hope we deliver that crape....
