Trudged home after that embarrassment and thought all the way home about should I or shouldn't I?
Well I will as I need to vent.
Totally unacceptable, everyone at the club needs to own that embarrassment. This mob make it so farken hard to stay loyal and fork out big dollars every year to support them. 95,000 odd members and this is the reward we get.
Thankyou CFC, 30 years of tripe continues....again. We just keep making excuses, but the same incosistant rubbish gets trotted out every year. I said the comp is even and of you treat ANY opponent lightly, you get your pants pulled down, and we did...again.
I'll call it early. I never want to see 3 and 26 in a Carlton jumper ever again. I thought we were getting an experienced ready made defender, he looked worse than the Rich first gamers.
Closely followed by number 11 and sadly Doc, his demise and father time is fast approaching I feel.
No cohesion, no system, no thought, no care. Long bomb after long bomb into the F50 was thwarted all night.
Second to the ball for 3.5 qtrs, out played, out run, out smarted both on the field and in the coaches box.
I had a sense that our players felt they just needed to turn up to the ground to collect the 4 points.
Shining light:
- Wieters battled all night surrounded by turkeys.
Mentions
- Lucas Campo showed some potential but turned it over 3 or 4 times at crucial points. Remains to be seen whether playing in the 1s or developing in the 2s is better for him. Speed of the game seemed to catch him out early.
- The captain battled away best he could.
- TDK battled manfully but needed to push fwd and kick goals like his opponent did.
- Vossy- WTF has been happening for the last 6 mths? What have they been training? To be crap? Tick, you all succeeded!
The rest were just tripe, sorry but that's what I felt, haven't seen a stat, dunno who did what numbers wise but all I saw for the most was 23 blokes in navy jumpers who looked like they came together yesterday.
For the 3.5 qtrs, the other mob looked like they all played 100 games together.
PS Motlop was practicing goal kicking before the main warm up in the pocket right in front me (I was sitting in M9 row Q). He missed every single shot he had! He was practicing throwing it the air, gathering the ball off the ground, and feigning one way and going the inside out banana, missed every one them. I saw him pull out of contests, tried to gather one ball with his feet instead of bending over, his seems utterly clueless.
Any way, I'll try and forget that ever occurred, I had a feeling it would and it did. It should make for a seriously horrid review of the game in the coming days.
Next week will be painful, scary in fact.
