Any comments re the whipping boy Lewis Young and the job he did on the preseason crowned AA CHB Rory Lobb???

Did Riley Beveridge watch the game???

BEST
Carlton: Kemp, De Koning, Silvagni, Weitering, Cerra, Curnow
Western Bulldogs: Liberatore, Davidson, Darcy, Harmes, Williams, Sanders

Curnow hardly got a touch after half time and Weitering toweled up Darcy!!

Darcy was the difference in the end. You're confusing him with naughton who popped up only when we were gassed.

Never felt like we were in control. Played our guts out but it still looks like we can't string 4 quarters together. Long bombs to Charlie when he is clearly not match fit hence his fade away. Small forwards giving us nothing. Well done to Kemp. I hope this is a catalyst to more consistent football. TDK will be a big loss when he moves to a better club. Umpires had an impact again I'm afraid. Real pain coming our way next week.

At quarter time, I remember saying we wont sustain that. When it got tight later i thought they're struggling too, but the Zac williams break down is probably the difference in the end. Keep him out there for another quarter and maybe we have the run to get across the line.

It's only one player but it was barely two kicks.

Credit to vossy and the MC shifting young forward ended up almost being a game winning move.

For once the coaches did reasonably well with the match ups and im man enough to admit i was wrong about that.

We've forgotten how to win games of football. That's why round 1 was such a dissapointment.

A few things;

TDK can't solo ruck 4-qtrs, his mobile running game style is too aerobic and taxing, as good as he was early he's cooked in final quarters every game this season. And sadly despite being cooked he was still one of our better last quarter players. Opposition teams are planning for it now, it has become too predictable, and as a result the final minutes of the game undo all his earlier good work. Also, if he's going to use his size to take some run out of opponents, waiting for the last minute of the game isn't the time to do it.

Coming out of D50 we have virtually zero plan, watch the vision from behind the goals of tonight's game, every dogs exit ends on the wing or further, we've got one kick out of D50 and progress halts 9 times out of 10.

Our efficiency is horrid, they scored goals too easily going the other way mostly from our horrific clangers with the ball in hand.

Our vision and decision making with the footy was abominable, it cost us at least 3 goals tonight.

I wish I could say this has come as a shock, but it hasn't!

Someone at our club has the break the bubble that our MC seem to be living in, tonight they were taught a lesson by a 3rd gamer!

Play some in form youngsters and drop the time wasters that are playing poorly. Then I might take this group seriously.

Gov, Hollands, Evans shouldnt play AFL.

I also think we looked gassed and slow late in the game, we couldn't finish it off strong, so much for power and speed over the PS.

There's a chance we're on the bottom of the ladder at the end of the round.
As our coach says. The ladder doesn't lie.

No idea how the club will dig it's way out of this. We are a permanent bottom half club with an occasional cameo. Nothing more. Nothing less. Juddy used the term mediocre. Sadly, that was before the most recent rebuild. It was over a decade ago!

I can't see supporters taking this quietly. I know it's only R3 but I've seen nothing to convince me we've "rebuilt" anything. Other than an ark in a drought.

So much for the head coach dismissing fitness issues last week 🙄
Every angle of the club on show is behind the times

Better efforts from Young and Haynes; certainly performed up to their limited abilities.

I realise we are desperate for fit players but I can't see what Evans has to offer; not competitive over his head and surprisingly slow for a smaller player.

Seemed a strange selection didn't it, maybe a lurgy going through the list?

Even stranger for me was Boyd as Sub, just didn't make sense to drop Camporeale and Lord(After Lord was a Sub!) and bench Boyd at the start!

Its amazing Voss bought in Evans to execute one tackle for the game . Moir or White could do the same and potentially hit the scoreboard. Thats on Voss.

Every one on this site can see that Evans gives us nothing...except the MC and Austin. Time for a clean out. Somebody must be accountable for these kind of decisions.
Moir might only get 6 possessions but I bet he makes em count.

At the end of the day, we are simply not good enough and too much is left to too few.
Haynes and Evans are poor additions to the list and shouldn't play anymore. We need to look to the future and they are not it
Out with Gov and Williams also.
Motlop not the answer, needs a spell also.
Doc, maybe as sub only but the game is passing him by quickly.
I may have missed a couple, but that's a starting point for change.
