54 point turn around is amazing.
Hope we havent blown our top 4 chances.
Keeping Doc on the bench for Lord was the game imo.

They ramped up the pressure and we crap ourselves.

We Tackle 2 on 1 and they still get the ball out to a teammate, every time. Every time. That is crap skills.

I am gutted but in hindsight not surprised. We have no one that barrels thru and takes the ball except Cripps. Everyone else is soft.

And H was not in sync all game / always under the ball, never positioned well.

Not sure how McG survives - he just does stupid crap.

Bowling ball to the nuts would of been easier to handle then watching that trash. Guttered.

You just can't defend a performance like that.

Simply horrid

65-40 inside 50's
40+ lead.

I have never seen anything like that before.
Ball movement and connection between mids and forwards again horrid. We have had all pre-season to work on this and make the same mistakes

Looked like a side that thought they had done enough in the 2nd and that the Tigers would disappear into the night. Tigers got a sniff and by the time we got a run on (late) our ball movement was D grade amateurs staff.

I guess we've made history. Again. Finalists suffer 54pt turnaround at the hands of wooden spooners. Despite winning key indicators. Incomprehensible on every level imaginable.

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.

McGovern and Haynes both dropped. No idea.who comes in. Don't really care. Talk about ways to destroy a season before it starts. It's not the loss? it's the limp effort that kills.

I took a picture of the MCG scoreboard at half time when they flashed up a stat for Rebound 50s 28 to 16 their way. It was at the point that I thought we're farked here.

Now we all have to go through the Friday, Saturday, Sunday comprehensive analysis by the experts on how truly awful we are.
Have to say, can't see us being any different this year than we have been over the last 5 or 6.

Good first game from Campo, will be a player.

3 or 4 horrid turnovers thought, Im sure he'll learn from it.

King on fox saying that those inside 50 and contested possession numbers just don’t lose games. We have done something special here

The montage of our fumbles, missed handballs and hack kicks that lead directly to goals is scary

Im sure we'll get the "We'll go to work and train all that".

We should’ve been up even more but for some crap kicking at goals - but we didnt which then gave them a sniff and we crap ourselves rather than work hard.
