Crash is obviously on the hooch. :D
In game discussion here folks.
NO MORE ZONES!!!!
Seriously Bolton, just tell them to find a man and stand next to him at all times if we don't have the ball.
Watching this pass the hooch please we might need it lol
Yes was thinking the same. Hopefully Crash has plenty to go round.
Polsen omg.
Has there ever been player look this bad. No clue at all.
We really don't have someone better than Polson to play in the seniors?
That's the problem Shawny, been our problem all decade
According to the AFL website match feed, Zac off with an injury.
That's 3 weeks on the Trott lost a player early not a trend we need
Just all rubbish that’s all they are
Looked liked an ankle after being tripped (no free of course)
Weitering showing some confidence
Another scoreless quarter.
I missed seeing the first quarter.
Were we close to scoring or not even?
Anyone have a stat re how many quarters we have failed to score a goal?
Weitering, jack and fish going well.
Need a lot more from Cripps, Kennedy, Murphy.
Skills are woeful. No wonder media has a field day when we play.
Really thought we were going to pull off an upset today.
Miles off the rest of the comp.
Need a priority pick on each line
Lucky we 'like' playing these blokes. ::)
Fisher copped a kick to his ankle during a spin out of trouble. Didn't seem in too much pain, so i don't think its a break. Should be back i hope.
Cripps coped a whack from Howe, who won't be playing next week.
No real structure going forward.
Too many tall targets, yet not enough targets to kick too. Work that out.
Farken David King, "I dont think he meant to punch him in the chin". You farken moron, he clenched his fist and threw a punch, what could else could he have been meaning to do?
Took all of 15 seconds for them to get a goal in the 2nd.
This could be a 100 point thrashing at this rate.
Fox reporting our last 0.0.00 ist qtr since 1990 V Footscray .....
He has a real role today as a key defender as we haven't picked 300 of them.
Woo hoo. Finally.
Goal Simmo , hope some spark
Kennedy had 11 touches that qtr. 8 handballs.
Fisher gone, ankle
Mitchell is in danger of a new record today
At least Kelly has the guts to say no I disagree, it was intentional.
Eddie laughed in surprise at Kings assertion.
Wtf serious - he punched him In the face, clear as day!
Gary Lyon talks a lot of crap
Sigh Even Matty Wright has lost his mojo.
The CFC Bermuda Triangle strikes again.
Yes can't believe a commentator would make such a stupid comment,
Listening to Terry Wallace on AFL Nation - he's really not that bad.
That's just being petty.
Seems everyone watching the game here agrees... this is more than injuries etc., this is about coaching... no buy-in from the players/ they look clueless again. As soon as the Dawks applied pressure, we folded.
Good to see Weitering re-emerge. Good stuff.
Although he has c0cked up a bit, at least Polson is having a go.
Hope nothing serious with ZFs ankle.
Lobe is doing well in his debut. But still we can't buy a goal. No structure , but good to see endeavour out there
My goodness our disposal is disgraceful (across the board, young, old, everyone).
Any reason why Mckay is relief ruck when we have Casboult?
Captain chaos, Liam Jones, doing his very best to destroy our only strong line!
Two, Casboult is soft, and our MC are imbeciles because they would rather destroy the 20 year old than sacrifice the 28 year old!
Can someone hand the umpires a measuring tape. Preferably one that goes all the way up to 15m. Tell them thats how long the ball must travel before they can blow their whistle for a mark.
Terry Wallace called him out as a danger to himself and also to others. Zero awareness.
Trying to get McKay into the game i suspect. Doesn't get the ball up forward.
FFS, let this bloke create havoc in our F50, he can use his 200cm to smash opponents all he likes!
I expected better than this, I really did.
Jones off , don't need that
It's better than staying on and taking out his team-mates! ;)
Do some of our players know what Pride is?
Can't win with the commentators. Getting criticised for over possessing the ball in the first, then Riccuito gets stuck into McKay for kicking long too much.
Simpson limping too. Doesn't look good.
Casboult does not care
Fair point. Probably no need to pick Levi in that case.
Big Cas just had a fight for the ball on the ground with Dow. Dow won.
He will probably take out Garlett, Pickett and Wright just as they hit top form.
You're probably right.
Keep Jones well away from Charlie, he's already done enough damage physically and mentally at the other end! :o
Get a feeling a lot of our players have dropped the bundle re the season, playing it out, no desire & going through the motions with out emotions
The guys on AFL nation are ok IMO.
Has another year on the contract.
We've plenty of TPP space apparently!
We have been absolutely pathetic today.
There is not a single thing we have done right.
If it's any consolation the NB's are 5 goals up at half time.
Poor coaching. Bolton should be on notice. 1 year buddy or you’re out the door.
If you can’t get kids excited to play with vigour and pride then you’re not AFL standard. Lack of Skills is one thing. Lack of desire and intent are inexcusable. Takling is not hard. Jesus Christ. Get them to spent a week with the Melbourne Rebels and Storm to learn how it’s done. Seems like Bolton has crossed the line of wanting to be a mentor/friend and not a coach that you should have a healthy dose of fear and respect for. I have serious doubts about Bolton.
Gosh that does make me feel better!
It is! Tks. Some good news.
Watching this live you get a real sense of how lazy some of our players are, most of them are still whacking away but a couple look as though it's all too hard for them.
That's my read on it too.
The gulf between us and GCS -- let alone the Tiggers -- is cavernous.
I won’t be defending us against all those who pot us.
They are right. We are a farking joke of a football club.
3/4 of the players on the ground today are not afl standard.
I’m done with my membership too. Won’t be renewing.
Disgusted.
He can go at the end of the season. No more seasons like this $hit one. Right now he's even making Pagan look good.
Jones off for the day
Could this loss be a coach killer? Would not surprise me. I thought he needed more experienced coaches around him to support him. But I think that that masks the fact that the buck stops with him. And we have scored 8 points in a half of football.
Havent watched a game since round 3... I saw halftime score on phone and decided to have a look when I got home.... we are a farking rabbbble
Never seen a side that cannot score worst I have seen in 50 yrs , sad
We would have to improve 50% to be a rabble
Double figures!!!
It should be.
Three quarters in and we have more free kicks than points.
Oh the sad things we we celebrate these days lol
Here we go.... a goal. Forgotten what it was like
A second goal! It's a miracle!
I can't watch this putrid rubbish anymore....Unfortunately Bolton is gone and the rebuild of that is what it really is will continue without him.
A real shame but this is just one clueless thrashing too many.
We get a second goal, hard to get excited
And another we are on fire .....
A good joke from Eddie
"Polson's been good today"
What game is Eddie watching?
CRIPPS!!!!!!!
Great individual effort by Cripps , 3 goals straight now
A 10 goal thrashing from the Gold Coast (next week) might have history repeating itself.
Would also mean we'd be thrashed by 10 goals from 15th, 16th and 17th on the ladder....with 55 and 57 points from 12th and 13th as well.
Polson, has an angel watching over him.
Poulsen kicks goal of the year lol
Ok have to give Polson some credit for the Shane Warne goal of the year
Dawks have put the queue in the rack before 3/4 time!
Amazing what a little spirit can do
Maybe, at the moment the Dawks are being slaughtered by the umpires.
We will take what we can get LP lol
The rules change qtr by qtr until the free kicks end up roughly equal at fulltime!
We have em exactly where we want em. :o
NBs up by 46 at 3/4 time.
Schumaker's having a good one. Reckon he can get a run very soon. Has to be better than Shaw.
Reckon Howell be lucky to see footy for the rest of the H & A season. Deliberate punch, deliberate trip.
I thought I heard the boys on AFL nation saying we only have 1 on the bench - can anyone confirm ?
Can Murphy stop f*cking handballing to guys under pressure?!
ok what is with Mackays kicking?
The CFC Bermuda Triangle - hopefully only a temporary meteorological phenomenon.
Yes, Pickett is in the rooms
Doesn't help when you lose 3 players on the day.
Looking for the "Polson" kick to fool everyone.
Pickett back on
Sadly long gone well before then.
So that's where he's been... can someone let him know that the game has started!! :o
Hopefully it will hang around until the rest of the season, then gone, never to return.
Pickett to Cripps was just gold.
Amazing what can happen with some run through the middle.
Well $hit, look what happens when you take the game on. That was outstanding.
Levi is but a shadow of his former self.
Shows we can kick goals , so why don't we do it more often, mental block?
Mitchell a lazy 42 touches , no idea why we wanted him
That run from Pickett is what he was doing in the pre-season before he got injured.
Give him an uninterupted pre-season and we can expect more of that in the future.
Kennedys best game for the blues?
Counterbalanced by another putrid game from Casboult.
How often does the opposition take a mark in their 50 or kick a goal when there are more Carlton players back but just standing around guarding space?
I'm no fan of Polson but that was pretty rough from the umpires. Not a lot of prior opportunity and a highish tackle
Thought the same, prior op is still in isnt it?
Poulsen is Eddie on Fox love child
If only they took it out....then it wouldn't be a contentious issue. ;)
Thank Christ that's over.
We had a bit of fun for 20 min. That was it.
Please let's cal the season off
Clearly he’s been working intensively with our “Skills Coaches” ;D
Murphy ended up with 35 touches, but doesn't seemed to have impacted much?
Worthless when you go at 35 percent.... Close to our biggest problem.
Only we can turn players from good kicks to $hit ones.
Switch it over to the Post Match folks ...we'll lock this one up.
