what response will that be? Pretty sure they have talked it up for the last 6 weeks that there would be a response after a loss.

First we were playing for top 2 spot (no response), top 4 spot (no response) and now just to make finals (no response). Only thing Carlton have been consistent at is No pressure, can’t tackle to save themselves, no offensive structure, no defensive structure have players get injured in the first quarter and getting smashed in the midfield.

Just embarrassing what has happened to this club in the last 6 weeks.

Can’t argue with that. Two games left. What will happen.

I don't care who we select this week as long as they're fit and healthy. No more selecting injured players. We can't have another 1st half sub. It's beyond ridiculous now.

Play the kids — all of them.

Anyone who thinks this list is contending does not know football.

It's finals capable, it just needs a tiny bit of luck with returning players and a serious re-think of the midfield setup.

It can absolutely improve more, but it has the right bones. October will roll around regardless and it can be re-fitted then.

When you learn nothing week after week after week, why would you think it will improve? We have that many areas that need fixing, but we better only try and fix one thing at a time. Coaching staff and.players are simpletons. They will confuse themselves with trying to fix too much

I mean I just covered the changes I think we should make for this week on the first page, and that I hope gel with the development that's been underway in the VFL.

I'm going to assume someone like Saad has hamstring awareness rather than an outright strain, and so after West Coast we'll have another 3 or 4 players back in the selection mix.

Beat St Kilda and we'll have TDK and O'Keeffe in contention for finals if we need to deal with Charlie being out for the season.

The structural issues concern me far more than the personnel, so long as the coaches wake up to themselves and start earning their pay.

 

[RAPPA]

Lord, Binns, Lemmey, Wilson. Give them a go. Let’s see what we have in our stocks. Heck, even give Moir consideration.

The season is properly cooked and we need to look at what we have under our nose and be FORCED to change things up for the good of the future.

I’d rather be bemoaning a loss from a game where we tried a few new players and few new positional changes, than a loss playing the same players, the same structure etc

Injuries are the issue now. Most look long term and if any are back for finals they won’t be near their best

Given our coaching so far do you really think Voss will rethink our midfield? I wish he would but I can’t see it happening

Who knows playing kids might envigorate them.

He was happy to do it midway through last year when he thought it was desperate times. He's just been delusional this year after throwing a tantrum roughly about round 5.

We will lose this game.

What do you mean by this statement?

 

[Accidental genius]

With the mounting injuries
Having to travel

Im not too confident at all.

Then the following week we are up against the rabble who are in reasonable form.

I hope Im wrong but Im not too confident we will return to the 8.

My team:

Cowan Weitering Kemp

O Hollands Cripps Acres
E Hollands McKay Moir

Newman Hewett Binns Fantasia

Sub: Williams

Surely you could find a way to drop Kemp along with Cowan?

We know vossy will!!

 

[Recon_29]

Its surprising how quickly people give up. Its like we shouldnt even show up for the last 2 weeks. Supporters are upset I get it but the season just isn't over yet. They are not going to drop half a side with finals still very achievable to play the kids. We will have a minimum 4 changes anyway so some will get a shot.

There is also no chance anyone at the club would think this season is over and neither do I. Anyone under the age of 40 has barely had a sniff of September following this club and if it means falling in at the death I'll take it.

We'll win this.

I’ve heard ‘we will win this ‘ over the past 6 weeks.We are so out of form and banged up with injuries that it’s got to tipping point.

No team can have that many injuries to key players and expect a positive outcome especially with how close the comp is.

No team.

Come on coaching group, surprise us and do something different.

I feel our best chance is that the Eagles will think we’re easy beats and take us lightly.

 

[Sickblue]

Outs: Curnow, Saad, Fog, Martin and Boyd.

Ins: Young, Moir, Lord, Binns, Carroll (Sub).

I’d throw Kemp Forward and have Young play the second ruck role meaning Harry can play forward all game and I’d also play Lord on ball and rotate Crippa and Kennedy as the third tall. With Kennedy owning a 60/40 split of this role. So our talls would be Harry, Kemp and Kennedy/ Crippa and we would have Moir, E Hollands, Williams, Motlop and Owies at their feet and maybe even hitting up on the lead (god forbid).

 

[jj1978]

Pitto deserves to be dropped too.

 

[Red_man2008]

Mirkov Binns Wilson and Akuei all deserve a look.

 

[jj1978]

Can Akuei play forward?
