5 minutes into the 3rd up by 3 goals, an angry Jack stood up to Cripps grabbed his guernsey gave him a mouthful, team mate helps Jack gives Cripps a shove. Harry just stands there like a stuffed dummy.
All downhill from there.
Haynes gets into a scuffle on the fence with I cant recall who, Weiters drags Hayne's jumper to pull him away! You serious mate? You want to go in a fly the flag, rip the other guys jumper off not your blokes.

SOS smiling, Fake pity from TDK and Jack after the game about how bad we are and how they feel our pain??
The club should be embarrassed and as I said prior game win, lose or draw I'm not talking about the coaches future based on this game. This loss is all on the players and the leaders and makes me think we might have to import some leadership from another club because there are hardly any options..
I was going to ask for two first rounders for Harry in a trade to Tassie , might have to rethink that and beg for two second rounders. He needs a spell away from the game and Brisbane can probably just rub Bens name off the whiteboard  and replace it with Harry, no need to change the low confidence.
The media should have a field day with the players his week and rightly so, surely the club have to try more youth now and look to the future..

I told you we wouldnt respond. This group doesnt know how to when challenged.
Surely Byrne being a country lad has a paddock and dam we can borrow for a few days for some camp fire soul searching.

Almost went last night but a family function went a little longer than I expected, thank God.

I think its been the players who have decided when the coach is finished as with Teague and Bolts, last night the same thing happened.

As much as there was a sub plot of ex Carlton players vs Carlton they actually weren't that good.

Stocker was rubbish.
Jack is the same player he was with us.  A few good moments not much else. 
Marshall was the best ruckman on the ground kicking 3 and id question the pay packet if I were him.  Is tdk as effective without him?  Kicked 2, was dominant in hit outs but benefited from some dodgy frees.

Ironically jack carroll played a very handy game.  Probably his best ive seen at afl level.   Hes still noting flashy, and therein shows why we are where we are.  Our ex players are hardly setting the world on fire even if corey durdin has kicked 2 goals a game since he left.

Jack martin is probably performing the best but look where hes at and hes really not playing superior footy to what we have seen before hes just another contributor in a good outfit.

Matt Kennedy.  Solid but unspectacular.   Not a needle mover and a liability with the pace of today's game.

What were the ruck frees for?

Crossing the line i think.
Put a toe on the line and its a free kick.
Seems fair and reasonable given how huge of an advantage that is.  ::)

Apparently you cannot cross the line until the ball is touch. The StKilda ruckmen would not contest and our ruckmen would step ovet the the line. Like you said big advantage.

Whatever Vossy is selling, the players aren't really buying it. His coaching record at the CFC is looking suspiciously like his tenure up north. Being out coached by Ross didn't help - Tore us open after half time with a change of tac, especially in the midfield.

Poor on-field leadership - conditional and fragile. Weiters looks bored, H is a shell of his former self (a year or more ago), Crippa & Walshy try to do hero stuff when the heat is on and stuff up - saps confidence... the antithesis of leadership. Cerra? Pfft. Saad? Why was he there? Why was an underdone Cotters persisted with? Positives: Cowan trying his guts out (handed a poisoned chalice), ZW never stopped working hard, Kemp - gave his all, Newman - a real leader, Carroll, Dean - yep, he got frustrated but at least he plays like he gives sh*t.

Our turnover game, especially under heat, is appalling (worst in the AFL) and that's coaching.

Images of Crippa on the bench later in the game laughing, galls me.

Soulless and spiritless when heat and/or change happens in game.

Our identity and brand is at its lowest in our once proud history.



Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Spot on. The jig is up with this team/coach combination.
Reality always wins in the end.

Are we really that bad??
We lost a game to an ordinary team in St-Kilda and we have Brisbane next week. Not looking forward to this game but will watch.
Like some comments, has the club decided to put the cue in the rack so we are not paying up for Cody Walker?
Was watching the game with a Footscray support and when the game was over he turned to me and said smuggle, well that was a waste of his time.
That sums up our club.

I know Cripps is getting some heat but maybe removing Kennedy Hewitt and Lord impacts him both physically and mentally. No one else big and strong enough to bust things open.

We all complain why is it left to him to do it all; and when he cant we complain about him. Of ALL our guys he is the one that has always given 100% every single game.

I saw a short replay of wins v Freo over the years last week and one game stood out - when Murph kicked the banana to win it and the players all piled on, Cripps picked Fish up and the happiness on his face was unreal - we have totally broken this guy and theres just not much more he can do. He needs support around him! He looked so frustrated with that jsos encounter, recall seeing Judd like that at times.
