It may be considered unfair to single out one player, but I struggle to see why Motlop is getting a game, let alone be in negotiations for another contract.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Yes, after a much hyped pre season, I really don’t see Jesse doing much.

Motlop gets in good positions.
But he doesn't take the ball with him. ::)

Because we have nothing else and the list management team keep shopping at Temu...ie Fantasia,Evans..etc
Motlops a better mid than small forward imo..

Vossy as pissed off in a presser as I have seen.
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

If he doesnt fall over he fumbles, if he doesnt fumble, he falls over.

How many years have we been rebuilding for ?

And this is the group we waited patiently for.

We were dudded.

Said it time and time again but this group of footballers will never get close to the ultimate prize as ability wise they are mid table and mentally are as weak as any team.

issue is I have no idea what needs to be done to give this list a shot at snaring a flag and based on my faith of our list management neither do they.

I dunno, sometimes I think like the above then other times, I think our best is good enough to beat anyone. The best term I can think to of to describe us is Rollercoaster. Down for a week or two, up for a week or two, down again, up again. As poor a performance as we put in tonight, we are just as likely to smack GWS next week.

Letting go of two experienced players in Owies and Chugga is coming home to roost.

We have crabs everywhere and crap coaching.

We play a scrappy unattractive brand with lots of errors, poor kicking etc and have all season, Swans are the same, it's a clunky battling style only with sporadic highlights from their stars. It wasnt a great game standard wise and it looked like two mid pack struggling teams , throw in some rubbish umpiring and it was hard to watch.

That's a near perfect summation, if the second word was "playED" it would be 100% spot because I dont reckon we always play a "scrappy unattractive brand". Last night was very strange to watch for me, as Voss said in the presser, we had them where we wanted them (even thought I they dictated terms for the most part) but didn't close the deal. The last qtr was particularly terrible, lots of players trying to be the hero only to get get caught, its like we forgot we are a little slow.
Its utter crap waking up on a Sat after a loss.

Charlie Curnow is like the little girl with the curl.
When he is good...he is very, very good.
When he is bad he can be horrid.
And he can do both versions in the same game.

Yes 3 goals in a low scoring game was good, the brain fades were bad.

Needed Walsh and Hewett to stand up and they didn't.

I thought Pitto was good - but why put 16 players behind the ball with 15 minutes to go and a goal down only to cop another goal. That's on the leaders.
