I expected today's result, so I can't get too worked up about it. I didn't see the presser but if I was BB I would have shopped Mumthug...."yeah, Murphy is OK, got busted ribs, tends to be what happens when a bloke goes in with the knees after the ball has moved on... "
Hard for the defenders today with the abject lack of pressure applied by the midfield today. So I'll cut those blokes some slack. MacCreadie was picked before he was ready.
But I'm totally over our midfield. Christ we have some soft passengers and blokes that drink their own bathwater.
Ed has been a loyal servant but gees he's a limited footballer and good players badly show him up.
Need to start selecting a side with a chance. That means no Lachie O'Brien, no Levi Casboult and dropping blokes like Dow and both the Curnows. Pick Kennedy and get him involved. Heck, wasn't he supposed to be Cripps' support, difficult to do that in the twos.
I've heard lots of theories about OBrien - he needs mass, he needs strength he needs games he needs kryoptonite. What he needs is a cup of concrete because his "efforts" today were deadset piss weak. Harden up or F off.
And we need ready mades in the MSD, not kids for the future. If there don't start to be wins, there won't be any future.
And forget about trades and FA. No one in their right mind will come to Carlton. Nobody.
The club has until the bye to turn this around, or it's going to get nasty, really nasty. It's flashing light panic button time.
