At least the pressure is now well and truly off. Start playing some speculative personnel to see if they're up to it. See if we can win a couple more games. Surely now we should play with careless abandon to see if we can somehow change our game style for the future.

We should thank the Kangabies, they tore away all the paper over our cracks.

We kicked ourselves out of the game early.

Credit to north they took each and every opportunity efficiently and thats the tale of the game.   Take your chances you win games.

Not sure what the double goal was for, but very dissapointed that we didnt get physical and hurt a few players.  Season is over time to start crunching bodies.

I don't get why we looked so shocked at the physical nature of a Clarkson coached opponent!

btw., Clarkson will be peeling paint off the walls after that game, he's not one for leaving a chance of recovery from a shallow grave, from the position they started the last quarter in. He would have wanted his kids burying us 9m deep and as a result he'll be absolutely filthy because they finished the game like us.

I know I harp on this, but until I see us burying teams we aren't likely to be consistent or successful, we need to show that we can hurt opponents by leaving them in the dust not limping over the line.

AFL is brutal, if you can't be cold and brutal you've almost zero chance of success. FFS, I saw Motlop pickup and give Xerri his helmet back. If you did that in a Sheedy, Walls, Barassi, Matthews or Malthouse coached squad you might not make it out of your own change rooms alive!

When we run and carry, we look a bit like a team.  When we go backwards and forwards across the D50 arc, it looks more like orienteering than football.  Comedy capers.

Very flattered by the final margin - North went to sleep after they completely outplayed us for 2 quarters.  .

You would not want to be a Carlton forward, the delivery is appalling.  

Season is cooked, so time to spend the rest of the year giving some young ones a go.  If we front up to 2026 with this same batch, it will be another wasted year.

Binns - sad to say, just not up to it....
Durdin -  list clogger
Doc - time has come
Pitto - the team is unbalanced with him and TDK in the one team.  He plays like a ruckman from the 70s.


Charlie - at least look like you're have a crack, body language is appalling.  Could not chase a paper bag blowing in the wind.

Crippa - needs a rest.

Another season down the gurgler, and it's not even July.   I was sitting in the Member's section, and the natives are getting very restless.


This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Pathetic !!

Makes me embarrassed to admit I follow the Blues now.

From the admin to the coaches to the players, we are a goddam rabble and there is no sugarcoating it anymore.

Apart from Silvagni, all of those uncontracted at season's end have to go.

Time to play Lemmey, Wilson, Moir etc for the rest of the season to see if they have anything to offer, otherwise, they are being shown the door too.

Trade out the big names (keep Weitering though) and go back to the drawing board.

Graham Wright ............. you have a huge job ahead of you but I have some genuine faith in what you are capable of and will support whatever you decide is the right thing to do.

We don't need a full rebuild. We can turn this around for next season if we make the right moves.

Honestly watching it live in the 3rd quarter down our end you could see they DGAF. Honestly. Half arsed chase, no contest.

Cripps can’t do it on his own anymore and no one else knows how to step up. Not that it should be a one man effort.

Felt sorry for the kids were playing to have such a crape senior team. Does Cerra have any footy smarts, he and Acres get caught so often.

We have absolutely no mongrel about us and we should’ve flattened some of those north players, instead they did us!

I 100% reckon giving Kennedy the arse has disgruntled players - say what you like about them being highly paid professional athletes, when you get rid of your best clubman who was playing well, you create dissent.

I was really pissed off today watching and I don’t care who needs to go for us to recover. Losing to Richmond round 1 should’ve been the tell, and in hindsight I absolutely wish we didn’t fall into the finals last year!

Sorry to Doch but you’re a pace behind, Fantasia might show some smarts but also shows some dumbs, Cerra takes way too long to make decisions, the switch only works if you go fast with it, Cripps cannot carry us any longer.

Why was Motlop the sub and why sub a kid in Lord rather than Doch.  Our MC have no fking brains.

The modern Carlton side would NEVER do that, go for the body. The team is full of church boys, not a mongrel among them.

This game was a coach killing game.

Eraser out, let's start again on that rebuild they've been promising us.

Pressure off? Its only just started. Coach will get it in the neck because of these goons.
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

Whoever is our forwards coach (and our midfield coach) thanks, but your contracts are not going to be renewed.

The disconnect between forwards and midfielders is pathetic.
Forwards don't know where to run, or run into the same space.
Midfielders continually kick it on top of them, rather than in front of them or to their advantage.
Don't get me started on goal kicking.

THAT is our biggest area of need and the area we can make the fastest turnaround for getting right.

Not sure who the umpires were today, but i reckon they were out bush last week and will be out bush next week.
Prior opportunity didn't seem to exist half the time.
In the back didn't seem to exist most of the time.
Deliberate over the goal line was erased from their rule book today.
Trying to explain some of the decisions to my kids today and the results contradict eachother from one deicision to the next.
Didn't change the result, but made it a terrible game to watch when it was already terrible to begin with.
