Thought SPS was solid, Fisher came good as the game went on, good to see L’Ob get his first goal, Lamb is ok in defence. Marchbank, Kennedy good early. Thomas battled manfully. Polson faded after first quarter. Little glimpse in the last with the run off half back and the long kick to Graham.

I would play McKay for the rest of the season. Hopefully Cuningham back in the VFL next week then straight back into the 22 afterwards.

Ins: Simpson, Dow, McKay
Out: Weitering (inj), Phillips (inj), Graham,

Ins Next year: Docherty, Williamson, Plowman

Questions have to be asked of Bolton.

Why does everyone bring up selection but then ignore that Bolton is always gojng to have a huge say in who plays?

He’s the one all year who has been leaving us at a disadvantage from the opening bounce.

I am sick and tired of picking duds at the selection table .... it’s as if it’s a conspiracy.... let’s do real bad this year and screw getting a winning culture.

Selection has been beyond woeful this year
 
We just had two competitive weeks and got found out today.
The pattern of our performances is ****ing annoying.

Rd 9: smashed by Melboure
Rd 10: took it right up to Geelong, probably could've won if we kicked straight.
Rd 11: strong performance against Sydney, let down by inaccuracy and poor use at critical times.
Rd 13: smashed by Freo off the bye.
Rd 14: went hard at Collingwood all day despite being two down.
Rd 15: another strong performance against a contender.
Rd 16: smashed by one of our cellar dwelling peers.

Four 'honourable' losses against teams far superior to us both home and away but smashed by teams closer to our level.

Why? Why? Why?

Bring that almost top rung footy against our peers and you'd think we win.

Why?
 
Games like that emphasise that the club wont be taking Lukosius with pick 1 .
Totally smashed in the midfield for run and uncontested possessions , 24 marks inside 50 for Brisbane is incredible again emphasises the lack of run and accountability up the field .
Midfield issues need to be addressed in the off season with the best available draft assets we have .
100%
Then let's trade number one for two high picks and let another club draft the fifth once in a generation KPP drafted this generation.

Think it has a lot to do with us throwing extra numbers behind the ball against better teams.

It’s why we always stay competitive but never actually win or go on the front foot.

We are hurting, hurting bad for so long, we have every right to rant and rave. Go for your lives kids, I'd rather let it out here then be in a bad mood at home with the kids, im over those days, the club deserves all the shit its coping atm.
 
I remember when Sheedy first got hold of GWS, they copped their floggings early but they had a ‘Just you wait’ attitude, they knew how good they were, Sheedy kept belting that arrogance into them.

Our lot, granted there’s a heap missing, onfield offer no presence.

Just sayin’
You are a top poster numbers !
 
This is not just venting but afl needs to step in and say ‘I know you didn’t ask for a PP but we have to give you one or you guys will be a basket case.’
This is a serious question.
Is there a way, say one of those change.org petitions, that we can can get hundreds of Carlton supporters to sign a petition to send to the AFL for proper assistance?

The club is deluded if it persists with its declared intention to not ask for assistance!
 
We need Walsh.

Will he put on weight? Another small easily pushed off the ball by men might not compliment our list. He dominates amongst his peers but we need to make sure on this point.
 
I know it’s not a major thing but I love the left field pick up of Luke hodge at the lions... we could do much worse than have some thinking outside the box such as this... I’m trying to think of someone of similar ilk as him such as Bartel a few years ago... or a Corey Enright last season or I don’t know, give us some on field leaders which, apart from a few, we lack.
