Dont think thats what i was implying .
Most sides are the same brisbane started the season terribly Geelong had a long down period through the middle of the season Collingwood injury problems same .
Sydney terrible of late hawthorn the bulldogs struggled for periods .
That's the competition it's...
Nah you don't beat a near full strength Geelong by 10 goals if you're not a contender .
We have some holes to fill but who doesn't with just a few injuries .
Our issue isnt talent it's durability .
Having your team fit and in form at the pointy end of the season is crucial we've failed that test .
Obviously wasn't great today but in his & the teams defence players in the modern game especially mids have to get off for a rest .
49 interchange rotations for the game assuming roughly 35 at the half .
Means not too many breaks at all after half time.
Thats not sustainable they where clearly...
Probably working out for the better atm will hopefully force the club to do what they should have done last year .
Ditch some of these injury prone players maybe even make a tougher call on a big name player Cerra ? .
The amount of in game injuries we've had over the past 5 years has been...
Keep the faith peeps wouldn't be modern Carlton without torturing its fans along the way.
Just as likely to win the last 3 who knows with this lot .
Will it be the 22 Carlton version and surrender the last 3 or 4 games and miss out on minuscule % ?
Or the fighting 23 version ? .
Time will...
Bit of perspective needed no other side is having a 5 day break except the bulldogs v melbourne Rd 21 over the final 6 rounds .
(Last round scheduling not decided).
Utterly ridiculous scheduling this time of year .
The AFL are a joke .
Add we where smashed in stoppages second half giving our...
You're correct but problem with marchbank is by the time he's somewhat match fit & getting some feel he's then injured .
15 senior games in closing on the last 5 seasons personally I feel it's fanciful the MC still have faith in marchbank over the development of Kemp .
Also considering marchbank...
Not surprised by this result come up against quality opposition for the 5th weak in a row with a weakened side .
Given the sides we've been rolling out going 2-3 isn't a disaster .
1 more Win in that lot would have been a great result given the injury circumstances.
We got away with mass...
Mighty effort today red hot go up against not only a seriously good experienced well drilled big bodied side at virtual full strength.
But also up against ourselves incompetent kicking at goal and decision making at times .
I'm convinced if this club could just for one year just one have a...
Once again deliberate called on a player being tackled and slung at time of kick .
Umpires have gone loopy on deliberate oob .
Also wtf has happened to htb interpretation so many clear htb in this game not getting paid .
On this occasion yes losing both McGovern & Cerra on top of Walsh Kennedy & McKay all for multiple weeks it's now a big ask .
As mentioned fully expect there will be more .
Most likely need 2 wins makes this week huge as can't see us beating Melbourne with those outs or GWS in the form their in .
Sad but looks like we've hit that tipping point again .
Going to be an anxious month ahead .
Making finals now will be a monumental effort .
Given between now and then there will probably be more injuries .
Dude sure you don't want to delete this ?
We don't have the biggest differential +48.
St Kilda are +57 Collingwood just behind us on +42 .
The 16 dogs where +112
More often than not most likely Cripps delivering to a player moving towards goal last year .
This year for whatever reason he seems to be under more pressure not able to get his arms clear and his clearances are to players at the side or back of the contest or nullified altogether .
All starts in the midfield imo we had an AFL standard midfield last year for a good part .
First time throughout the whole rebuild now we are back to being sub standard AFL in that area once again .
It's crippling transition and causing us to go to Charlie +Harry too often mainly by bombing it...
The movement of Cripps to the forwardline at times first half of last year worked well .
But as injuries hit and losses mounted this has been abandoned because coaches have gone into self preservation mode and in their minds can't afford Cripps to be anywhere but mid .
Same reason is why Binns...
Our MC selections are even more boring than our on field play .
Last week they went back to Obrien this week its ED .
I don't expect anything different on field as our MC is as meek and non creative as the team is at present .
Well atleast we tried to take the game on in the second half .
But as usual we butchered it .
Enough is enough with O'Brien time for Binns .
Persist with Dow no point not too now .
Fix the conversion and a lot changes confidence levels rise and momentum builds .
The opposite is happening mental demons have flooded the minds of the players in front of goal .
You simply cannot win games going 21-41 as well as a number of out on the full attempts in your last 3 games .
The...
Just the daily LNP scandal media nothing to see here .
Has there ever been a political party in such turmoil with infighting (nsw) resignations etc during an election campaign ?
And the medias like ah no biggy 🙄.
If the media wasnt cheerleading for and in the pocket of the LNP they would be at $10 right now and Labor $1.01 and the election would already be over .
Sad times in Australia when even the ABC is editing out Morrison $46 jobseeker gaffes .
Thrilled to be 4-1 given the patchy performances .
Plenty of exciting contested work but at times fall back into old ways of dumping the ball on the boot instead of looking for handball options .
Backline are the main offenders with the dump kick .
Have to remember we have a new coaching panel...
Think its time we put the acid on the playing group the majority have seen off 2 coaches in a short period .
Someone like Lyon will leave them with no excuses and nowhere to hide .
Give it your best efforts or theres the door.
Lyon is a proven coach that will adapt imo if given the position ...
Like it need to get some more campaigners into the club G Williams Hodge Lyon now thats some serious mongrel players wont know where to hide if they arent giving it their best efforts .
