2018 Rd 15: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs Brisbane

Do you best, do your worst, as long as the team plays its best.

My God, what a shocker.
Coaches and players will be under the spotlight for this. It was simply unacceptable.
Live Long and Prosper!

Something strange in the neighborhood.... ::)
We get within 4 goals of Port and Collingwood and get thumped by Brisbane...yet it was a result many predicted.

Tanking...Nope...we didn't have to tank this game we were far enough away even if we won

Curnow and Cripps down on their usual, Simmo missing...sure that has a big effect.
But it's like there is a team of individuals out there rather than a "team". individuals who are more concerned with their own performance and preservation than with the team thing.

We also have some very average inconsistent players who have all chosen to have the '"day off" at the one time.

A fans level of disappointment is dependent on their expectations.
Expect nothing of this side at the moment.
You won't be disappointed. :(

Brisbane play an aggressive running style, not too much nous from Brisbane but we dont like it physical and we dont like too much running..

Certainly makes you wonder WTF is going on for sure. Our defence especially was all at sea - zoning completely broke down at times and opposition players were left with a free hand to destroy us. Surely that wasn't all down to Simmo being missing?? And we just could not capitalise on our F50 entries which were invariably and predictably to Charlie who was often being double teamed?

Note. Comments based on first three qtrs = could not bear to watch any more.
Reality always wins in the end.

We have no issue playing and in-close, hard congested game against good sides. Physical isn't the issue. Mental might be another issue. When the idiot coach decides to play a zoning, offensive game plan, something we are hopeless at, in winnable games, then he has alot to answer for. He's not the man.

No pressure from forwards and/or mids Cookie2, it's that simple and it's been that way all season. No work ethic, and it makes the defence look stupid!

Marchbank back today showed why I was so negative about him, charges off up the field, misses a 15m target, then jogs back pointing the finger at someone to pick up his opponent, but he's not alone!

Well we secured the first pick, so in that case "mission accomplished"!!! >:( >:( >:(

But watch us dither, and get sucked into the spruik. Lack of imagination and the age old recruiters bulls1t of taking the best available will result in bringing in a South Australian who will want to go home asap........

When we should get aggressive at the table and make both SA teams fight out a deal that FAVOURS US. They can have Weitering too, perfect example of falling for the "best player" mentality, sorry but the kid's heart's not in it; lost, soft, incapable.

Almost lost on this "reset", it's not a rebuild, the team which BB inherited only needed a reset apparently, that's 40 players ago by the way.
I was there, Blight missed!!!

Re Charlie. That's what happens when you pick just one key forward, who's a kid.

Bolton outcoached again.

Hopefully we're looking for his replacement now.

We had more inside F50 than the Lions, but they ran the ball unhindered coast to coast!

Fans will be up in arms about our defence, but that is an effect of the problems not the cause! The tell will be this week, if the club officials take an axe to the defence you know the scapegoats have been named! This problem cannot be fixed by changing the defenders!

Foxtel replays of McKay laughing in the stand, I'd just about sack him tomorrow and send a message!

It doesn't get any worse than that, if Bolton can have them playing decent football by the end of the season well and good but any more faux efforts like today and we may as well give someone else a chance.
A lack of ability and experience I can cop, the rubbish that we dished up today I can't.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Many pundits are saying we'll trade P1 to the Crows for later picks plus a player.  Apparently the Crows are desperate to get it and would be up for a deal generous in our direction. Remains to be seen.

I suspect time might be up for Phillips, too fragile, and we don't have the list to carry him as a backup to an already damaged ruckmen!

Lobbe might be a good buy if he can get himself sorted, until De Koning and McKay get themselves sorted as ruck options.

SOS, Weitering and SPS,have no idea of what role they are supposed to perform. I want to know why those 3, who started off so well, are struggling. They've all shown they have talent. As I said to someone else, if the players we drafted the last few years wore red and white I bet they'd all be going very well as most of them have talent. You can only draft good players, up to the coaching staff to develop them. Right now our coaches could turn Dusty into a dud.

Probably. Another possible option must have thought it funny - he was having a good laugh in the crowd apparently!  >:(
