I've accepted it, but it still surprises me how quickly we've fallen off a cliff.....and continue too.



We lost 3 legit key position players last year and didn't replace them.

Look who you are talking too.
I'm well aware. ;)

I reserved my judgement about Weitering, whether he is carrying an injury or just not interested...... I think that he is appalled by the easy in which the ball is delivered, and he's lost interest.

...and as Vice Captain, that is unacceptable.

Such a pity that we need to totally rebuild our list, just one year before the Tasmania draft. :(  God knows we ned athleticism, pace and skill.
Still, a couple of players have responded. Pity it isn't a dozen more.

As for Wilson, we may as well play him. He will get the pace of he game. And when he does, he has some of the pace we need.
Live Long and Prosper!

Way too many to times our players stop & prop, they cannot play on or drive past the approaching defenders, we are too easy to defend against.

Another thing I've noticed tonight, a lot of our guys are not a 'one grab' mark thus giving the defenders a second chance to spoil.

And I just got out the Hubble telescope yet still couldn't see one thing that Ainsworth brings to the table - what a lemon !!!

We are playing the best team in the competition with the worst part being that our most senior & more experienced players are out of their depth here.

If they can't at worst, match it with them, then why the feck should we persist with them ??

I can excuse the younger less experienced guys but leaders have to lead by example, ours are not and never look like it.

Harry McKay is finished, he's a shell of his former self.

Just watching him & Cripps argue over who is going up in the ruck made me think I was back in primary school.

Kemp is acceptable but someone needs to put him through an intensive kicking course, his set shots are pathetic.  

Draper is slapping Pittonet around like a redheaded stepchild too !!

And can our players stop sooking up to the umpire about a flimsy free kick they didn't pay to them, it's goddam emabarrassing.

Well, our defensive focus may just keep Brisvegas to four goals a qtr.

No creative or bold offensive plays from us. In fact, our lads looks petrified of making a mistake.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

He has never been great defending on the lead. I would swap.him and McKay.just to get McKay to actually play football and for Weitering to have a break.

We are being slaughtered in the midfield and clearances. That’s where the sh1t is starting and we need to fix that first. This game is looking like a massacre and maybe Vossy’s farewell.
Reality always wins in the end.

"Carlton's pressure rating of 152 against St Kilda was its lowest of the season, but that's no surprise. The Blues are the only team in the AFL yet to have a single game this year where they've recorded a higher pressure rating than their opposition."

Thats not a skill issue

For that reason I'm confused as to why Lord is out of favour.

Its not a skill issue. But can still be a consequence of poor skill.

How many times do you see us on a fast break, deliver forward, straight to the opposition.
Players drop their heads, opposition run it back for a goal. Players drop their heads more.

Instead of that 'captains goal' type lift that give you a boost, we are constantly let down instead.

A Harry miss.
A Florent turnover.
A Walsh holding the ball.

It saps the guys of energy and desire.

I think the most embarrassing part of this game is that the Lions are nearly 40-points up yet they really haven't played at their normal pace, they are just going through the motions and still making us look stupid.

GIve me one good reason why that wasn't a free to Harry for holding the ball/incorrect disposal???

We are crap, but the umps are not having a great one either.

2 minutes ago Frankie got a swinging arm to the head in a tackle but was overlooked as well.
