Kemps kicking is actually laughable. How a professional forward who trains 5 days or more a week can shank so many consecutive shots is unbelievable.

Saad is done and should finish the year in the 2nds 

Cripps and walsh gave their all

new recruits all played well.

not sure loins went flat out but at least good to see some run and transition and forwards leading to space whoch opened scoring opportunities.

still a loss is a loss and we are 1 win from
9 games so horrible season to this point.

Pitto has been, of all the rucks in the comp, crucified by the rule changes...throw it up straight or f the rule off.

The umpire who throws the ball up should not adjudicate on free kicks for crossing the line because he/she is generally too close (and running backwards) to see what has transpired and whether any significant interference has occurred.  There are 4 field umpires so the extra one in the centre square should be responsible for ruck infringements.

Big game for Ison in the 2's tomorrow. If he can put on another better than average performance, I'd bring him in and move Kemp to the backline to replace Haynes. He has plenty of confidence in his marking and general play etc and Weitering has publicly said the he loves playing with Kemp next to him. Ison has good hand, a touch of mongrel and can kick straight!

The umpire who throws the ball up should be the person who throws the ball up straight.
The one where Pitto got done for crossing the line was because the ball was that side of the line.
Friggin AFL, it has lost the plot with all these knee jerk rule changes, nothing but a corrupt, biased and greedy organisation lead by a guy who has zero idea and zero backbone.
After I reread this it sounds like the Labor party. 🫢
2025... Moir of the same to come

Weitering was ok, as was Hewett.


Weitering is a liability against a forward who can lead.

Hewitt wasn't much chop playing as a defensive midfielder in the first half but he uses the ball better than our other midfielders.

Yep. At least Hewett hit targets in the forward fifty. Whereas Crippa and Walshy still insist on long bombs... kick and hope.

I wonder if he'll play (and other emergencies if they were there last night). Guess it depends on what time he left Brissy to return to Melbourne for our 10am Magoos game today. Catching a 'red-eye' before a morning game is not good prep.

At least our blokes have a sense of humour. Carlton players were sledging the Brisbane players late in the game telling them "youre doing a Carlton".

How many Carlton v Brisbane Gabba games have gone this way over the years. Brisbane get out to a massive lead and we come back late. First game of 2024 we actually caught them.

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

I thought Chris Fagan's press conference was good. Balanced assessment of the game, and said some good, and to my mind, correct things about us.

Hewitt still dump kicks/hacks it forward and was fortunate a couple of times,, that's part and parcel of playing in tight, it's more about what they do when they actually have time.

If Haywood can play to that level consistently, we did fine with the Charlie trade IMO even without all the picks.

A couple of times last night Brisbane were kicking to the wings.  I saw newman and weitering making sure the ball went out off hands, but the thing is, they both should have worked harder to allow the ball to bounce out to get the lasso rule instead, and this is the thing that makes me say that our boys lack nous. 

It might be coachable but we are what 9 weeks into a new season and still not taking advantage of rules? 

We arent talking young guys either.  You just know that smart footballers will take advantage without a coaches input.

Thats coaching my friend.

the same frustration with how many frees we give out in the ruck.

the same as our players never play for a free.

the same as harry doesnt know how to exaggerate a hold or in the back.

the same as our mids are clueless to drop the knees a few times a game to draw frees.

the list cant all be stupid.

Why can you tell already that haywood and  Ainsworth have smarts kicking is reasonable.

see a pattern?
