A lot of folks think Cripps is the man, but I wonder if it's actually Kreuzer.

I wrote this in the in-game.
I'll keep it here for all to see.

Free kick count....

Half time
Collingwood - 16
Carlton - 6.

3/4 time
Collingwood - 20
Carlton - 7

Final
Collingwood - 24
Carlton - 8 (came with 2mins to go in the game - after Plowman was NOT given 2 obvious free kicks, which resulted in 2x goals to get them up by 2 goals late)

Hard to compete with 25 players out there.

When the whips started cracking at the end our midfield got smashed. 26-5 inside 50’s in the last quarter. Cripps played a lone hand in the middle but he can't do everything.

Their better players lifted in that last part of the game and they also had another two blokes with whistles helping them out which made it impossible...

Fisher was lame for the last quarter and a half. Couldn’t run or kick. Made a significant difference.

You know what buddy. We are looking like the choke specialists. We will struggle to attract the senior gun players we need to win more games. The only way to attract those gun players is by winning. We are stuck in a real hard place at he moment. Can’t blame BB for this. It is full on player accountability at the moment. We need the players to dig deep to get us off the bottom of the ladder. Something that looks highly unlikely over the next few games. Sure we are competitive. Is that enough though?

We should probably ask for a please explain....but at the end of the day.... It won't change the result and will be forgotten within a few weeks.

On the whole the team did everything we could of asked for and gave a more than appropriate effort after last weeks result.
Come to play like that every week and the wins will come.
It would do wonders to win one of those close ones.
Might change the whole mindset.

I thought Grundy was very influential...Kreuzer was good but Cripps really held us together when the Pies cranked up in that last part of the game.

Yep, it will be forgotten when Boltons head is on the chopping block too.

I'm not one to harp on about the umpires, but to suggest a whole team failed to infringe on anymore than 2 occasions in a half of football is complete bollocks. Especially when you look at a few examples very late in the game which led to direct goals that cost us the game.

I feel for Bolts because this could've been a turning point for him.
Yet 90% of the wider footballing public, and football media would not have watched this game, nor be aware of the circumstances with free kick counts etc. But at the end of the day, its another 'L' in the column that they will write about and point the finger at Bolton and co using it as 'proof' that he is no good.....and that goes for some on here as well.

Again, when serious heat comes, we fold. But, like all our honourable losses, there was plenty to like.

Just don't know how to win. That psychological barrier is still there.

Please, BB, please don't pump up everyone's tyres for doing so well for much of the game. This loss, in some ways, should hurt more than most this year.
