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!


I share you p1ssedoffedness. Serving up this rubbish with so many 'hopes for the future' is embarrassing. Hopefully they wake up and come home with a wet sail!
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

H has had 6 marks and 2 goals this quarter. Should have had 4 goals. Durdin has 6 tackles.

Harry Lemmey also doing OK when given a chance. But, do we butcher the ball!

Carroll showing something this quarter.

Elijah needs a fair bit of time in the 2's: he's marking well, but running poorly.

17 scoring shots to 20.
Live Long and Prosper!

The thing I've liked about Lemmey tonight is that he's looking to get 'involved.'
He's covering a lot of ground.

It's not something I've noticed about him in the VFL games I've seen.

A little bit of respectability added.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Well, the third term was a considerable improvement, but gee we're a long way off the pace!
H dominated. Lemmey was dangerous. A lot of our players did more. Only 3 players now have 5 possessions or less.
Rob Monahan still looks lost. Very disappointing.
Frankie Evans can't even get a kick at this level. What did we see it this guy?

Luke Nelson has only 7 possessions, but he was involved in most of our forward thrusts that quarter. Can't say the same thing about Evans; he's been invisible. 6 possessions, not one of them to advantage.
The Camporeale boys are getting a fair bit of the pill, but neither has set the world on fire. Still, something to work with.
Live Long and Prosper!

Binns has had 18 possessions, but I just can't see him making it the way he is going. Not hurting the opposition.

Our young bodies getting brushed aside. Frees not helping: Umps hurting us, no doubt.
Our decision making still leaves much to be desired.

Vickery showing something.
We can't hit the side of a barn from inside. :(  Lucas has missed 2 real sitters.
Fair dinkum, our disposal is coach killing. The turnovers have been dreadful.

They're trying to even up the frees, but it is far too late.
Live Long and Prosper!

Kicking for goal, what a difference.
We miss 2 easy one, they make one out of our mistakes.

Shocking decision making.
Live Long and Prosper!

Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself. They make goals from nothing, while we  ... we turn gold into faeces.

This quarter has gone backwards. Not getting the ball into the forward line.

Lucas C isn't bad in the air.
Live Long and Prosper!

I'm astounded at how bad some of the players we have kept on the list for a few years are. Binns being right up the pointy end of that.

There are just too many blokes that are slow thinkers or poor disposers of the ball. They will never amount to anything.

Look at that last goal.
Southport played a bit of volleyball, tap tap tap goal before we had a chance to do anything about it.
Quick thinkers, quick to act. Footballers.

Ollie Badr gets his 2nd. He makes Will White look like a giant, but he can kick a goal.

Inconsistency. Crossley wins frees while we can't but one.  At last one against him!
God, these Umps are hopeless! Another gift!

Frustration. We get held, get nothing. They get held less, they get a cheap free and a 50.
Turnovers. :(
Live Long and Prosper!

Junk time. :(
O'Farrell can take a mark, but he just so thin.

14 tackles to Durdin. Getting cramp.

We win the 2nd half, by a couple of points. But the second half was just poor, instead of dreadful.

Why can't we think of some way to negate the oppositions' strength? It seems pretty simple to me. Nobody can get 40 possessions if they get sat on, or the supply isn't there.
Live Long and Prosper!

They look like a group of strangers who have never played together.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I'd bring Boyd into the seniors and play him on a wing.
We need that kicking into the forward line.
