The game will start before I get home. Such is life. Shout out loud for me!
Getting a dream from the umps. Can't take advantage.
Wtf Saad?
2 or 3 I50s for no result.
They take it in and goal.
thats a throw every time, but ive seen hawthorn do it all year without penalty. Ditto crows.
Why do we have small forwards?
make that 2
Good to see SOS out there supporting SOJ
Lewis Young embarrassed twice in 30 seconds. Remind me why we picked him?
You sure he's not trying to catch up with TDK? ;)
Fuuuuuucckkking zoning defence
What a crock
Saad and Acres are like a comedy show.
Game over
We arent on today
Weitering getting smashed
An injured weitering can not go with georgiades.
I reckon McGovern would be a better matchup who can go with him in the air.
Team of coach killers
Game over
Twice in a minute.
change it now
Looking sick atm
But Weitering and Charlie on one leg lol.
No gameplan.
No intent.
Need a clean out.
Cripps still quarantining?
Cripps looks sick as a dog. Saad and Doc are cooked. Limp.
Ratagolea with the whack across charlies chops.....you'd almost get weeks for that.
Charlie probably got concussion from that. As the kick would suggest
Curnow is taking the piss (and his pay packet)
Acres limping down to the rooms
Weitering on one leg
Charlie on one leg
Cripps looks a few cyclinders down
What could possibly go wrong?
If you bring them in sick or injured it's no excuse. How dumb are we? Who makes these calls?
No system
No confidence
Billy Wilson on debut, give him a break. Why he chose the short option inside 50 when the long option over the top was in more space....well....that will be highlighted upon review.
TDK has an arm injury, thinks its an elbow or maybe a shoulder. He was just holding it then and i've noticed him holding it in a few games recently.
Curnow looks better than last week.
But the MC don't make mistakes with their wealth of inside knowledge........supposedly.
Now Fantasia fails to do the one thing he's supposed to.
Can anyone in our team kick?
If I was Voss, I'd pack up my stuff and quit.
Injured weitering costs us another shot on goal
Weitering my god
Only because the umps keep handing him the ball. Hasn't got it himself yet has he?
Why is Crippa out there??
Port failed to hit a target about 6 possessions in a row. Still moved it from half back to deep in the forward pocket without us looking like we were going to get it.
We look either completely shot ro completely inept....or a bit of both.
ANother Vossy rev up at quarter time?
Think the players are showing us how much they want Voss as their coach. Poor bugger.
Woeful effort. Charlie cant miss gimme goals like he did.
What a rag tag outfit we look. Embarrassing.
Yep, just head to the airport now C:-)
Cookie I gave us no chance but that was woeful.
Reverse Psychology.
We'll come from behind rather than lose from the front. ;)
Has there ever been a team with such spiritless weak leaders as our club.
Nah, there is 22 sick and injured players out there.
I haven't missed anything.
Top 5 possession getters on the ground are Port players. God, I missed nothing!
8 of the top 9. :(
Unlike us who have missed everything......by foot....including the goals
This is sad to watch
Every season when the season is on the line we go to water.
Cue in the rack for 25.
This reminds me of the final vs Lions. Give them a 10 goal start and then try and play catchup.
Port should be at least 10 goals up by now, but they have had poor kicking at goal, just like us.
Depends if youre a glass empty or glass full guy.
Look, its hard to knock Weitering, but he is helping the opposition more than us tonight. Not his fault, he should never have been picked.
Who makes these calls. It happened last year too.
Cripps has been just as useless.
Why is Charlie sitting on the bench? He would've run at least 100m for the game.
Vossy in a swirl of 🧲
Hopefully Wright works it out and stamps it out.
Its painful to watch the horror movie playing out right in front of you when you see it coming a mile away.
I'd move Weitering to FF and swap Gov back to Mitchy G.
Because he's not fit......and copped a whack in the head and is probably seeing double
Where are the leaders!!!
It does have that feeling.
Move Cripps and Weitering forward out of the play lol.
It will be a miracle and un-Carlton like if Voss survives a performance like this.
laughing stock of a team.
How's this zone defence working for you Vossy
Weitering nearly broke his ankle last week.
Charlie did his calf the week prior.
Cripps has covid.
Walsh and Harry are watching on TV
How is Voss going to survive this? But he's not the one on the ground playing.
But we can sack the MC tomorrow, they are absolutely clueless. Picking hurt players !?!
Looking forward to the 2nd half fadeout 😳
Can't recall such a long period of inertia in my life from this or any other club. Not even a glimmer of the qualities required by AFL clubs. Self- annihilation comes to mind.
Just get on the plane already. Spare us.
Can I just say, weve not played well, but port walked on water a bit this half. Even when they kicked it badly it somehow paid off.
Commentary is nearly as unbearable as the game.
Looks like Brendan Bolton is back coaching.
Players have NFI
You can just see the panic on there faces when the have to do anything. It spirals more and more with every minute.
Curnow is really taking the piss
This list is getting burnt. Best outcome is mutual agreement to part ways and give Hansen eight games to see what he's got.
Yes, 7 free to air. BT, McLachlan, etc
Watching on Kayo.
Commentators ok
Laugh all you want. I said last week i wouldn't have picked him.
Nothing he did last week makes me think we should've picked him this week.
Same thing with Weitering.
I'm not trying to defend them, i'm taking aim at the blokes picking the side.
It doesn't matter what you're watching. This is unbearable
There's your problem.
Your life will be better off if you never have to listen to BT again.
Kayo is the way to go if you can afford it.
Yay?
Why are they high fiving
Because we just doubled our score with 1 kick. :'(
Saad down again. Seems a weekly thing at the moment.
This one might just get him subbed out of the game with concussion
for Lewis goal?
God forbid they enjoy a moment. Its horrible to watch it would be worse to play in.
Well apparantly we have plenty of energy to waste at half time.
Perhaps use some of this between the sirens not afterwards.
I liked Haynes coming off yelling at the guys. Demanding something.
what a disgrace we are. this list is done.
said it after round 3 we done and i was right.
no leaders. no fight.
voss has NFI.
I wonder if cripps is still happy with the effort?
Over Saad and that middle tier that just haven't done the job this year. Tap on shoulder time.
Just go all out attack, nothing to lose
There'll be a tap on the shoulder but it wont be Saad I'm afraid. Voss will probably go now but there needs to be a fark of a lot of other coaches and players follow him out the door. I was critical of the players and BS words at the pressers this week. Tonight is clear for everyone to see their actions dont match their words.
There's no way of escaping corporations in professional sports, but I'm not giving a nickel to Kayo. I'll just turn the volume down, or better yet, just turn it off altogether. Go and slam a few doors, kick a few tires, howl at the moon, and beg the footy gods for forgiveness.
Ok, this has been an unmitigated failure thus far.
I think you have to wipe out the scoreboard from the first half. Forget it happened, wipe it out.
Second half is redemption time. Forget winning the game, focus on the second half and win that. We'll see what the margin looks like at the end, but its imperative we win the next half and quarter.
Thry these guys are incapable of digging themselves out of a hole like this. They have dug it, climbed in and back filled it with double the amount of dirt they took out. This team is mentally broken.
Yep. We lack any inspiration or desire.
This isnt a development squad - this is a squad at their peak and under performing.... losing almost every week.
Players probably sick of Voss's voice because literally nothing is working we have been a complete rabble since round 1.
Actually complete rabble since this time last year
The game really should be over.
A lot may say it already is, but Port have not taken full advantage....and they are now comitting one of the deadly sins of football.
They're "lairising."
If there is a ray of hope it will show in the first half of this next quarter.
Get the game back to under five goals for the last quarter and we're a chance.
If it blows out further in the next ten-fifteen we're in for another shocker of a week.
I get where you're coming from, but this is all you can do when you cop that.
Vossy big black mark for having a go at half time.
There's no point doing that. They all know what happened, need to get them up and about second half and move on.
Next week, short circuit and pick the kids for the blokes clearly under duress and then pick whatever else gives you the best chance of setting up next season. This year is done.
Power obliterated Blues in first half 😉
Saad goes down and only Boyd, Cincotta, Weiters and Young go in to remonstrate with any vigour... one snap-shop sums up so much, Cincotta taking on about eight blokes, on his own. Good on ya Cinc, good on ya Boydy for getting into a bloke twice your size... good on you Youngy for sticking up for your team mate. Most of our other players were just trying to break things up, how nice.
I keep saying that playing injured or sick players is a bad idea. Do our match committee notice? No.
It all happens in the middle: Sweet has barely had a possession, but he's giving Port first use of the ball.
We aren't stopping their play makers; they just run around by themselves and rack up possessions.
The Port mids haven't been able to buy a possession all year, yet now they're superstars. They are moving the ball so easily that Port are getting set shots at will.
yes, but port need percentage and they are hungry. Have to rely on them letting it go, but its not going to help unfortunately.
2nd verse same as the 1st.
Glad I'm not there.
Saad ran into his shoulder.
i've seen traffic cones put up more resistance than we are at the moment
Guessing this will screw the one thing going for us. Our percentage.
malthouse ‘we played a very good football team’
Wasn't this the week the players said they would take ownership?
How is that working out for them?
Perhaps they can ditch that idea, and maybe listen to the coach.
First 5 minutes of the term, we had a grand total of 2 possessions.
You do not pick incapacitated players. But this club doesn't learn.
And because Voss oversees such decisions he will be sacked tomorrow and quite rightly I'm afraid. Expect a press conference about 11 am.
Unless thd 2nd half turns around I see Ash Hansen doing that job next week.
It's all attitude. 2019 when Teague took over, we won 6 from 11 after 3 from 43 before Bolton was sacked. Some losses were embarrassing. Remember GWS outscoring us u goals to one in a qtr with 16 players.
Then the pow wow at Ed's place when we were useless. Suddenly we were stars overnight, won the next 10, and made a PF.
Just amazing what attitude does. Sadly, says alot about out players. Not so much playing ability but a pathetic attitude.
Curnow laid a tackle
As rare as a Bartlett handball.
I just checked, he's actually our =2nd leading tackler at present. He's got 3.
Hewett has 6
Butters and JHF, really tough when they're up by 15 goals, time to test out that weak pricks shoulder.
I'm going to bed. Seen enough
7.7% goal efficiency
That's got to be an all time record. We've been working on that one for a while now 🤨
He has 3 now. One for each point he has kicked.
Do we actually pay someone to coach our forwards? If so, do they know the object of the game? This sh*& has been irritating me all year.
Can we get Bill and Ted's time machine and go back say 25yrs?
Some lowlights...
Fantasia - 8 touches - 4 turnovers - 37.5% DE
Lord - 11 touches - 6 turnovers - 45.5% DE
McGovern - 5 touches - 1 turnover - 20% DE
Curnow - 5 touches - 1 turnover - 40% DE
Weitering - 9 touches - 2 turnovers - 55.6% DE
De Koning - 13 touches - 6 turnovers - 69.2% DE
To relive the dark ages again??
At least make it 31 to get '95
And when games are on the line... Injury/illness aside, this is far more embarrassing than last week. These woeful repeat performances suggest to me from the last year or so that a. The coach has lost the playing group b. The playing group themselves are fractured. or c. both a and b.
Get used to these results... we are playing mostly the really good teams from here until the end of the year. Not sure whether MV will fall on his sword or he will get shoved, either way, results like these won't see him here next year.
I said it last week (or the week before) but everytime i watch us i head the Benny Hill theme music. That goal was the perfect example.
Over 10 goals behind now.
Just like the darkest of dark navy blue days 😭
Worst part is that's what forced us to pay overs and gamble on injury prone players. It was marketed as hope. I was sucked in 🖐
Like the club, I have no idea where to from here.
I was hoping at 25 we wouldn't make tha same mistakes again
Hope is painful.
Give me guaranteed success.
I HOPE the MC learn to not pick an injured side each week. That hope is killing me.
They've been doing that to us for MANY Years
To long. To ######g long and those responsible must be sacked.
Pull your finger out Wright and start by dealing with this issue. Now.
Odds on us getting back to within 3-4 goal this quarter to make it look 'respectable' to anyone who didn't watch the game, but in reality just adds to the issues and why we couldn't do it sooner
Not tonight Kruddler, we've checked out..
Held out a bit of hope for an improved performance after half-time
Non existent.
Players can talk a good game but don't back it up.
So let's hear no more of that nonsense.
I'm done
Prepare the scaffold
They should bring out a commemerative photo frame of tonights team to celebrate the 23 frauds that ran out tonight.
They will go down in the Carlton Teams That Got Their Coach Sacked Hall of Fame.
And please please please Crippa, no more bs press conferences stating that MV is a great coach, friend, mentor, and we are all behind him 100%..... it somehow rings very hollow now after dishing up that cr@p.
Pathetic.
I have tickets to the Collingwood and Melbourne games.
AFL members. Happy to pass them onto anyone at cost.
$26 for both.
>:( >:( >:(

I have mercifully been out and only checked the scores twice.
Oh boy.
Can someone give me a summary of what happened as I won’t watch the replay or any of the footy shows and avoid reading anything else about the game 🫣
Did we put in any fight?
Did any player put in their all?
Is MV gone?
How have the new kids gone? I feel for them 😢
Nothing to get too excited about.
Even with them, they just gave a very scary stat.
We are playing the oldest team we've ever played for 81 years!
We flew in, played utterly crap, Voss is gone. Its an absolute miracle we cobbled together 7 goals.
They will request to be traded out at years end
He looked shattered during that interview. I wondered if he was either ill, or had checked out. I could understand the latter and have a hunch he may be Westward bound.
Omg. that sums up the rebuild is done folks.
grade = F
start again
Billy off injured. Poor kids...
Oh, another injury, how unusual. I hope it isn't yet another major one.
If that happens I'm not sure where their supporter base will come from
who cares. im sure im not on my own but i have really lost interest in this club. sad but true.
While some teams have a bad injury run from time to time, this is a hauntingly perennial problem for us.
It then fuels the recruitment problems. In turn, salary cap problems and (possibly) deeply ingrained cultural problems. Losers lose.
I was going to say the same but didn't want to be a downer. I used to get angry until recently. Now. I feel nothing 😕
Sorry if that's too much folks. Take care and find some joy outside the club
Charlie Curnow, 30m out from goal, nobody in front of him, Misses the little ones by 10m.
Cue the music...
I'm intrigued to see how MV and the club deal with this now
For the second week in a row, we've kicked the same amount of goals in the last as we did in the first 3....and outscored our opposition......because they gave up.
Its an 8-day break before pies at the G on a friday night.
I'd be sending everyone to the pub to get $h!tfaced, sort out their issues and hopefully wipe their memories of the previous 2 weeks.
Hopefully its enough to reset themselves and realise they are lucky to be playing this game with their mates, so if they want to continue doing that, then they need to pull their finger out NOW.
Something has to change otherwise they won't like the changes
Time to move threads, guys. This is is done and dusted, just like us for 2025.
Just did a quick calculation and average age was 27.
Of our oldest 22 players on the list, only 3 didn't play.
Newman
Pittonet
McKay
