Orren Stephenson would have dominated the ruck so Walsh would have worked harder for his kicks....reckon they will play either Walker or Ellard next week...John Barkers CV is taking a bettering with these
heavy losses and while the powers at be say Barkers stint as coach isnt results driven they didnt say anything about 10 and 20 goal defeats either and i think JB needs a very close game next week to stay in contention..
You are probably right. Orren Stephenson usually tears us a new one, and with only Auricchio to combat, it would have been pretty unlikely that we got many easy possessions in the centre. It also suggests that Whiley must have been OK.

Nahas got 7 goals!
Live Long and Prosper!

Certainly confirms as a club where we are , seniors & reserves show a real lack of depth , talent & results . Many times when we have been down , these are some hopes with players in the reserves, but this time the cupboard really is bare. Long way back coming up

also refers to lack of resources for coaching and development..pratts and mathiesons take note - you are wasting your money on the seniors if this continues...

Elevate any one we can and get rid of those who've shown they don't want to be there. >:(

Too true MF , at least we should have a lessor senior coaching bill next year , maybe they can fit development into the budget with that. But only thing you can make from spuds is chips and that won't win us games if we don't recruit players with passion & coach ability

It seems to me, most of the boys have raised the White Flag for the rest of this year....Bloody Malthouse has leeched $3million out of the club for his salary....and completly F....d us over in terms of drafting and player development...now a lot of them just want to get out of "Dodge"....very bad times ahead for the once mighty Blues :(

A bit of a flogging there Crash. Were the expected to lose by so much ? None of our guys appear to keep in touch with their opponents by the look of things. Carlton, NB  ::)
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Yep and which board factions that had control of the decision to sack ratten and engage mick must be held accountable. ..

Quite unexpected. I find it difficult to understand. Since the baby Blues obliterated Frankston, we've suffered a couple of real hidings with very little positive to come from them. Some of it is the injury problems we have. Some of it is simply that the guys we have remaining in the NBs are not looking good. Some of it is the relative lack of talent in the non Carlton side of things. Some of it is lack of leadership. As for the rest, maybe they've just had enough. But we certainly have not been showing the desire and the spirit that was commonplace in the first half of the season at NB level. Things could not be bleaker.
Live Long and Prosper!

I'd only consider Walker if played forward - that can even be from the goalsquare. Otherwise, he can stay in the VFL.

Walsh must play AFL next week - and not as the sub!

Bring Holman back in also.

Tutt out. Wood out.

Walker and Yarran forward. Henderson back.

Jamison forward with Casboult and Everitt.
