63-13.

Our 13 is the typical Carlton version...............1.7!

Think I've seen enough. 10 goals down at half time. Hate to be a Carlton forward although Lemmey has shown something there.

Piss poor expected ball movement to be superior considering most are drafted with known good skills despite losing the contested possessions. Loss is okay but the ball movement is extremely poor.

Wow a 10 goal hiding at HT

2 things stand out
1. We have no athleticism - Harry McKay looks like he hasn’t had a meal for 6 months, Elijah Hollands is flat footed and aside from being poorly disciplined off the field, is also very average in the field. In fact both Hollands brothers are very average
2. A number of our listed players look a lot worse than VFl also rans -  Francis Evans, Billy Wilson etc query whether we’re picking the best available player. Harry OFarrell’s Dad is the club lawyer, Ben and Lucas’ Dad played for the club, Elijah’s brother played for the club - are we selecting the best player?? Wtf is going on.

The only ray of hope is Carroll and that’s it!

Yep,
Harry does look like he's lost a bit of weight.
At the moment you would probably look at Lemmey for promotion ahead of McKay.

Sounds like he learning to help out Weeters - being constantly under siege with non existent midfield and no wingers in support.

A better qtr from the Bluesbaggers yet managed to fall much further behind.

Hard to find many bright lights for our seniors... sheesh, the ball has been in the oppositions hands most of the time!!! 12 gls to 2 at half time says plenty. Boyd's been good, Campo boys have been okay, Elijah has been almost good and almost looks dangerous, O'Keefe is battling hard against a 500kg brute and got more of the ball that qtr, Evans has been Evans - still don't see whatever our recruiters saw.

Binns has been Binns, gets plenty then lets himself down with disposal. One out of left field is O'Farrell... not setting the world on fire but, for a very young big bloke, has shown some impressive glimpses - marking, footy IQ. Sadly Durds has been Durds... 3 possessions to half time. Billy Wilson is learning and at least takes the game on! With ball in hand Matty Carroll is really good... just doesn't get into his hands often enough - so far. Lemmey, presented okay, doesn't hold marks he should, nothing to write home about. And as is too often the case, the best for the navy blues is a VFL listed bloke - Heath Ramshaw.

Not sure I'll even bother watching the second half. This Southport mob is a serious footy outfit... obviously really well drilled and disciplined and you can see they know clearly what to do and are really pretty ruthless in going about it - I'm jealous.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I can't believe we've gone backwards, but we have. Totally unprofessional!
There is absolutely nothing out there!

We're being murdered in the middle. Not only is Crossley killing O'Keefe, but our mids have no idea how to defend.
Picking up a man? Are you kidding?
Turning the ball over? It looks like it is our trademark!

I find it difficult to watch games on TV now, but I am just so angry!
14 of our players have 5 possessions or less, 8 of them on the senior list! No acceptable!

Our coaching: for the last few years Crossley has killed us in the 2nds, but do we put up someone who might compete with him? Are you kidding? Where are the plans to deal with these clowns? Do we run Crossley around? God knows, he's carrying enough tub!
Live Long and Prosper!

2 quick goals. Amazing what can happen when you get the ball down there.
Live Long and Prosper!

God, where did they get these idiot umpires from? They wouldn't recognize a free kick if it kicked them in the head! 9 frees to 23!

Can we win a contest? Doesn't look that way.

Lemmey: if there has been a player to show anything tonight, it is him.

Is it any wonder that Carlton fans get frustrated!

Corey Durdin doing OK in the middle this quarter. Harvey needs to spend 3 years in the Gym.
Live Long and Prosper!

To all those people demanding Docherty/Acres etc are dropped from the 1's because it 'can't get any worse'...

Exhibit A your honour. 10 goals down at half time against a team with zero AFL players.
Imagine them in the 1's!

From what i've seen, Elijah needs to come back in.
That is all.
