Carlton Supporters Club

Headlines in the media: Lions down brave Blues.

Same old, same old.

Again, too many passengers... wasted opportunities in the 1st... and we shizened ourselves when challenged in the 2nd... brave come back in the 3rd... played the game out - same script as last year.

On the up side, there was very good intent from most - just too many not up to it / not senior level.

Now, I can tell you how the next week will go...
We'll turn up to play against the lions, go ok for most of it, have a down period where they kick away 2nd quarterand despite some good signs we will ultimately lose by 3 or 4 goals.....exactly 3 goalsand you know what, that is ok because they are a better side than us.

Further to that...
An older player will have a shocker. Take your pick, Casboult or Gibbons...
An out of form player will play their best game of the year. Docherty had 28 touches, 7 tackles and 624m gained
A young player will show promising signs and we'll pump him up prematurely. Cuningham in the 1st was very good.....then went missing.....then did well in the last
The coach will get chastised for some words. [watch this space]
Some people will be ready to burn their memberships. [watch this space]
The media will turn the heat up on the club....again. [watch this space]

Bookmark this and tell me how I did.

I have never seen a chalk and cheese effort like the first and second qtr ever. At the ground, it was so obvious they were asleep at the wheel. Why why why!!!!!

Not sure that's right.    We can compete, but just as quickly we switch off.   2nd qtr was described as sole less on SEN   Another 5 goal run against for Teague and co.    Add to that a 4 goal run in the last.

Our turnovers kill us.    We turn the ball over in dangerous positions and give up easy goals on the counter.   If we aren't the worst side in the comp for conceding goals from turnovers then we are top 2.

We need to continue to give games to young guys who have the basic football skill of hitting a target.

More fancied teams than us lost by 97 points and 40 points. This was always going to be an honourable loss.

or by the same logic, but different quarters...

Honourable losses usually pile up and end up in dishonorable executions of coaches ...

I, me, moi, io, have never seen, dont care what stats say.

To clarify,  we cannot compete effectively at this level due to our lack of the required levels of skill, nous or class. We can certainly look busy at times running round like headless chooks.
