Looking for some positives...
How good was it seeing Doc running around and dashing out of defense.

The most important thing I took out of the game was Ed's mouthguard; absolutely brilliant  :D

I was very disappointed immediately after the game but I have convinced myself that Teague is keeping his powder dry for Round 1.  Surely that has to be it  :-\

Yes, one hopes. Teague has spoken about scoring and some players have spoken about the greater emphasis on skill work and less on strategy / planning etc that was prioritised under Bolton. So far this pre season, neither skills nor scoring seem to be improved, and Teague has been coach for about 9 months.

We'll know in the next month or two.

After footy, a political career awaits DT.

At least he confirmed that once BrisVegas turned up we had trouble adjusting to the increased attention/pressure (accountability/mental toughness?). The last thing we need is a downhill skier reputation.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Also thought our contesting was poor after half time, apart from Cripps we had a few blokes watching rather than attacking the ball and a few who couldnt be bothered chasing or tackling.
Cripps played a blinder last Brisbane game and I wondered if a few of his team-mates thought he would take over again and they could just coast to the line on the back of the captain.

Yes, fair post EB. Brisbane are a serious unit, and after the R12 match last season they would have been smarting and out for revenge, points or no points. And don't worry about Fagan. I reckon under that cheery, avuncular exterior beats the heart of an old school fire and brimstone coach. Anyone who can keep Clarkson in check has to be a little intimidating.

EB I'd add Silvagni and Walsh into that mix of blokes who had a red hot go. And Jones did a pretty good job on Hipwood given the amount of ball they had coming in after 1/4 time.

Fix things by round 1? No Chance.
So we can a line through Stocker in the short term, he is a way off being in the mix according to the Coach.
Harry not playing round 1 for certain.
Marchy getting scans, its more than a knock on the knee is how I read it.

2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Those blokes you named always try and give you effort Surfie, its others who just are not consistent with their attack on the footy and chasing....

Dow's first 1-1/2 qtrs on the weekend were extraordinary, then the old Dow arrived!

Martin's ball use in impressive, but I worry if he maintains that scatter gun approach to hitting packs he won't prove durable. Having said that, I use to coach the kids that the best way to be injured was to become a spectating victim, aka roadkill for a nearby bully. Instead make your presence felt and your opponents will soon start to hesitate around you and leave some space for you to move in.

But, I didn't like Levi, SpecialK, SoJ and McGovern all flying against each other, it's seemed disorganised at best and stupid at worst. Eddie might get fat off that stuff, but it won't get us winning scores and the cost could be high because we'll be left at risk of hurting our own.

You've been banging on for 10 years.....still yet to say something positive. No wonder noone listens.

Sorry Kruddler,  but where have we been on the ladder for the past 10 years?  Please mate, don't be personal.  I'm just being realistic.

 I've been a bit worried about Kreuzer for a couple years now.

TBH, he simply isn't good enough. Injuries have ruined him.
His best is still quite good, but he is never allowed to perform at his best.

In an ideal world, TDK would replace him by seasons end.

Kreuzer, Murphy and Gibbs were all very ordinary number 1 draft picks.  It could be argued we butchered them all.  Are they crap footballers?  No they are not, but where do they really rank in terms of their real position in the draft from where they should have been taken?  I'd say, Murphy- pick 12-15,  Gibbs, pick 8-14, Kreuzer, Pick 15-20.  None are worthy of number 1.

What a load of tripe  ::)

Of course, there’s no guarantee that number one draft picks will be the best players taken in that draft but Murphy and Kreuzer are easily in the best five, as is Gibbs on his form with us.
