Another game that is not on free to air TV. I hope those that are on the Gold Coast to see it live enjoy it.
GC have the momentum. This will be an arm wrestle
They're going in harder and want the ball more than us just at the moment.
We need to win some clearances
They’re making us look like we’re asleep. Hope we turn this very quickly.
Very flat at the moment.
Missing that second ruck and our smaller defenders don't man up.
With our mids under more pressure you get exposed ..
We’re not handing their pressure at all
Noah Anderson owning us again early.
Kennedy tagging Rowell....thought we should be the hunted.
Want Kennedy playing his own attacking game...
Dekoning useless in the ruck apart from the centre bounce.
Even Weiters has a howler and it’s a goal
10 scoring shots - midfield under performing
Why aren't we playing a ruckman?
Thought that Mirkov? Would play?
GC with 5 of last 6.
Wakey wakey
Otherwise we’re going to embarrass ourselves like the past decades
Underselling Witts - takes most rucks in the competition to the cleaners
Yep, this is looking all too familiar.
Let's hope that's the bad quarter...
Well that was dreadful >:(
Attack on the ball was half-hearted.
Midfield nowhere near their previous games.
Fumbly
Simple errors of execution.
Voss needs to shake it up.
Barnaby French would take Jack to the cleaners.
On the back foot already
Cripps hurt????
6 of the last 7
Disgraceful
Boyd warming up. Can only get worse from here
Levi needs to be careful or he'll lose me. >:(
Witts to Miller repeatedly
Fogarty .... and no Stocker. WTF?
Saw Cripps grab his hamstring half way thru the first quarter so I’m guessing that’s it.
F50 sounds like the last half v Hawks
That will not work
3-1
No signs of anything but atm
1. Deer in the headlights are back
2. Orange jumpers outnumber every contest.
If we thought our fwd line was our advantage, Day Ballard have killed that idea
The importance of Pitto showing up, how far off the mark TDK is also evident.
Needed that from H.
Maybe the head knock woke him up.
Give your mates a shake H
Where’s Walsh, Kennedy, and Cerra?
Cripps out with a hammy, this is becoming a disaster.
H doing it all. 🙌
Weak as piss that effort
Who is on Rosas?
Plowman has played 8 quarters this year and we have won 1 of them.
Without plowman we have won 4 out of 6 quarters.
It's all his fault.
Saad lifting. Who’s with him?
Go in at halfway 2 goals down with Kennedy. Sammy and Cerra not sighted,,,,
If we want to be a good side these are the games to win.
At least we have some depth to drop the non performers next week,,,,
We’ll that’s a half of footy almost every player and coach will want to forget.
Only person smiling at the moment is Paddy Dow.
Good little fightback to steady the ship.
Time to show Carlton grit. Go Blues.
Newman was but now Boyd....this is the problem when you have too many rebound defenders who don't want to defend.
That last goal he kicked was a shocker from our blokes..
Paying the price for no second ruckman with Witt's taking over from a tiring TDK.
The team is looking flat for second week in a row, I don't get it, it's like they are expecting to fail.
Too long on the bottom?
Looking at the stats it's the usual offenders -
Martin, Setters and Fisher 15 disposals between them. Kennedy on Rowell???
That and only one ruck has me concerned ..
.
Dow was missing in the last quarter of the VFL, so much I thought he might have been off injured.
Unless God forbid they withdrew him because Cripps wasn't 100% and went in carrying an injury? :o
Time is officially running out for Jack Martin - l He’s got the skill but simply doesn’t work hard enough. Needs to pull his finger out. Ditto Fisher, Cerra and Kennedy.
Also, how bad has our handballing been today?
It's like they expected to win and the first two goals made it look easy.
Time to get gritty and win ugly.
Don't agree with that observation, there is zero swagger to justify that expectation, they've just looked flat for two weeks now.
Great test for the boys here. Not much going our way. Mids being cleaned up, time to dig in here.
FARK....
Unbelievable
Old Carlton is back
I reckon this has been coming since the Dogs game.
A lot of work still to be done...
Cerra not hard enough at Weller...Newman having a shocker.
Stocker straight in vs Port for me..
No way we’re coming back from 6 goals down
Show us what you’ve got Vossman
Half-hearted undisciplined rabble >:(
Half time helped >:( >:( >:(
What is this utter garbage? This is the old Carlton as you get.
This is looking UGLY
Good night, nurse. Just don't have the cattle to execute the plan at present.
Exposed for how we rely on a few very talented blokes to get us through. 3 or 4 out there today who really don't seem to be up to it. Most of us would have taken 3-1 for the first 4.
craphouse. No fight at all.
Kennedy, Walsh and Cerra can't get into the game - disappointing.
The Vosswagen has a couple of flat tyres :o
Fortunately there were a few standouts in the Magoos who'll be welcomed back, hopefully along with Pitto and Durds.
It's what happens when you reward mediocrity from some supposed "stars" ... just terrible
It’s the jinx of the 1st year coaches playing out
3 missed opportunities in 5 minutes
A little bit on intensity
Then, as expected, they go down and kick goals.
No words for this I’m afraid 😳
Heath Shaw was right.
You would think Setterfield, Martin, Fisher and Fogarty are going to find it tough to keep their spots.
Boyd has been good since he came on.
Sun's have talent.
Lukosious, Rankine, Rowell and Anderson. +King
From those two drafts.
Plus they have a ruckman.
You don't need a gun ruckman but you do need domeone to compete. DeKoning is no where near it at the moment and Jack rucking is laughable.
LOB has gained more meters than Setterfield, Fisher and Fogarty combined. Thats how bad these lads have been,
It will be good to see the coaches swing the axe.
Carlton will reap rewards from their exciting start to the season under new coach Michael Voss when the next set of timeslots for the rolling fixture are unveiled.
^^^^ that’s what the problem is 😳
Reality check.
I'm glad the whole club got a bit of sun..
Selection will be interesting next week. Sun arvo V Port.
I pray that Pitt, McDonald and Durds are fine.
Watched the twos. Dow and Stocker must be considered..
Outs - Martin, Fisher (times up ).
Interesting how Vossy handles next week...
Setterfield and Boyd too for me..
It will take more than three games for the coaches to get a handle of this squad. But the quicker the weak links are exposed the closer we get to a flag
Plowman doing Plowman things.
But did you hear he was 3rd in the b&f?
This is putrid
Owies wants to start a fight with 30 seconds left lol
Presser will be interesting - axe needs to be dropped to show the faithful this performance is not acceptable
Bad kicking is bad football. Six or seven tonight that should have been goals. Unbelievably that makes it a different game. We struggle against really hard running teams.
Well, that was disgraceful.
Test is for this group now is not about the loss but how they rebound.
We had no fight from the get go, no hardness no skills on show nothing - shocker of a game.
Zac Williams 800k a year cant kick left foot....thats crap don't care if he got 36 touches turned it over plenty
Jack Martin 600k a year plays as soft as butter and can't convert..
Touk Miller killed us last year...ever thought about a run with tagger? Ed Curnow should have played...Kennedy not a run with and took away from his great 30 plus possie start first 3 games. De Boeur shut him down last week Vossy..we have to respect dangerous opposition players..Witts one of the best tap rucks in the comp...De Konnig rag dolled and Jack going up in the ruck? spare me..Pittonet was huge out...have to bung the Old Ivanhoe kid Mirkov in...we cant get monstered in the ruck like that every week
That was an appalling loss.....time to regroup...wasn't just the Crippa hammy that derailed us....plenty of issues
Charlie C and H had shockers and we missed Durdin big time
It's not the end of the world. Most of us would not be surprised. Now the work really begins.
I thought the honeymoon was over last week -- and the Aints absolutely ripped the Dawks apart today -- but today it certainly is. We rode the high for a few weeks but on reflection (the wisdom of 20/20 hindsight) we had far too many bad qtrs in our first 3 games. Now the new coaches can see the problems clearly, and hopefully those who just aren't up to it. The coaches were let down by some who we know cannot be relied upon.
It'll take time, there's a lot to change. Old habits take time to be replaced by newer, better habits. I'm still optimistic but realistic in terms of how long it will take for new coaches to institute a new game plan and gradually learn who are the players who can be relied upon, and who are the non-hackers.
