Re: AFL Rd 4 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Gold Coast

Could write three pages on how bad that was, the wheels completely fell off and to add insult to injury, not one of our players wanted to put them back on.
Way to complacent, a refusal to tackle & chase, too much finger pointing to a team-mate to instruct them to mind an opponent ........ I could go on !!
This game showed up a number of players as frauds and not being prepared to fight when the game was on the line. Don't get me wrong, the Suns played well and thoroughly deserved to win but we were barely competitive after quarter time, no-one wanted to take ownership and fight it out, pathetic really.
Setterfield ......... FFS, banish this bloke to the magoos forever, looks like Tarzan but plays like a pre-school ballerina.
Fisher ..... running around on the spot spectating, may as well taken the ground with a deckchair and some binoculars.
Fogerty ..... supposedly Cats fans were upset to lose him, I bet they don't want him back now, here's a subtle hint for you Lachie - lay multiple tackles and apply some forward 50 pressure, otherwise, go back to the quilting classes.
Walsh .... had 28 disposals ........ bugger me, I struggled to see any of them, he is not even half the player we know he should be.
McKay .... 4 marks & 7 kicks for the tallest player on the ground who then copped a $1K fine for staging ..... get out the viagra eye-drops and stand in front of a mirror, time for you take a long hard look at yourself.
Plowman ........ WTF does the match committee, coaching staff & a selective section of the supporter base see in this clown ?? He is the biggest liability on the list, banish him to the Ukraine where he spend his hours running around dodging Russians instead of opposition players.
De Koning ....... qualified as a Life Member of Mensa with his attempt to touch that set shot at goal by standing 5-metres inside the field of play instead of starting off behind the goal umpire.
Martin ......... we don't want to see your highlights reel, we just want to see the whole meat & potatoes stuff, I've said it before and I'm confirming it again here, this guy is a bone-fide overpaid dud, come at me !!!
Kennedy ........ you were given a golden opportunity to stamp your individual presence on a game with Cripps going off injured, I don't care how good you have been in previous weeks, this was your time to show genuine leadership and lead the midfield, you failed the exam miserably.
Cerra ........... paid the big bucks but with no discernable impact on the match, I'll cut you some slack this one and only time, never ever put up another crap-show like that again.
Newman ...... who the feck do you think you are, Hulk Hogan or King Kong Bundy ?? Fancy wrestling with that midget Ainswerth and then giving away a 50-m penalty that resulted in a certain goal - your papers are stamped now son !!!
One of the few players that genuinely earnt his pay packet was Lochie O'Brien and I'm certainly no fan of his. He was not afraid to tackle, chase, bump or at one stage, go up in the ruck, he was bleeding for the jumper even though he has some serious limitations, some of his team-mates should have been embarrassed to look him in the eye.
And Charlie Curnow ...... take your screwing time when having a set-shot for goal, OOTF does us no favours at all.
Very good points LL. What will interest me is how they respond this week against a down PA. I said TDK wouldn't enjoy reviewing his tape but there are quite a few more who would find it rather unpleasant viewing. Nothing less than a strong showing and a spanking of PA will be acceptable. I fear quite the opposite and FFS make some decent choices at the selection table.
