Getting bullied by a bunch of amateurs here.
Can’t stick a tackle to save ourselves.

If Boyd is wearing #67, he was rolling on the ground holding knee.

Just saw him in the background for that mark, had a big of a hitch in his step as he was walking along.

Seems fine to me.

 

[Jimmae]

I don't think he has much value at all, certainly not enough that we'd have an in principal agreement... Be lucky to be on the list much longer.

I think we'd be fools to delist him... need to work on his body shape, basically to undo most of what the training staff got him to do last year, at Teague's request.

 

[The Bighouse]

L.Parks will be lucky to be retained on what he’s served up over the past 2 weeks.

 

[footyfan1978]

23 points down at three quarter time

 

[Revenant1965]

I've been out and just began watching again... This is sad... But I am hoping for a decent fourth quarter effort...

 

[Blue Bloods]

On thank you

Kind of wished I didn’t find the free Kayo.

Already in a negative mood before even watching the main game.

 

[Jimmae]

One quarter of decent footy could honestly win this for them, but they should be disappointed with how they've responded to the lift in intensity and physical pressure on a slower deck.

 

[Accidental genius]

How’s bsos been ?

 

[footyfan1978]

Sam Ramsey 25 disposals and 2 tackles is probably our best so far.
Honey missing two goals cost him and us being in better position.

 

[The Grover]

Carlton are such a poor club , through the board , senior and reserves . No heart , no strategy , no idea

Will hit a new low today with losses to bull ants and Crows

He has some tools but he just hasn't put them on display in a meaningful way. He is good in theory only to this point in his career, just doesn't impact games with the little ball he does find.

What an ugly game of football. Our AFL listed players need to use their superior fitness to run the Bullants ragged instead of playing reactive footy.

LOB & Willo should be owning this sort of game. LOB strikes me as playing to the level of whoever the Opposition are, with a little bit added on top because he can.

I'd love to know how the commentator gets the pronunciation 'Gertz' out of Goetz. When his uncle played with Williamstown everyone pronounced the name as 'Goatz' & when this young fellow was on the Bulldogs' list it was pronounced 'Getz'. These latter 2 make sense, whereas the former doesn't seem close.

pronunciation of goetz - Google Search

They're right. If it's a traditional pronunciation.

It is just where we are at.

Agree. Looked so promising when he debuted in seniors. Not sure what’s going on last couple of games

 

[Gethelred]

My question - given that I can't watch the game, at work - is who precisely for them is getting a hold of us? Is this another symptom of being a team of genuine shortarses without genuine KPD's making scoring easier?

The thing is they shouldn't be finding it this easy to score.

 

[footyfan1978]

How’s bsos been ?

8 disposals deep in their backline

They should. Our AFL team has no defense of note so why should our reserve team be any different given they'd be following the same coaching directions in general.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

We are woeful...

Its no one in particular. We get the ball move slowly, don't know where to go, go down the line, they intercept go through the middle and score. Repeat. It's Just a despondent performance with no system against a team that really is very bad.

 

[jooce8891]

Would be lucky to get anything more than a 4th round pick for LOB ATM

 

[BeligerentBlue]

Just crossed to gws/hawks game. Standard is like night and day.

 

[Jimmae]

Parsons and Wooller really have hard hands this week... fumbles galore.

 

[Blue Bloods]

Turned off, to depressing and the seniors haven’t even started yet. Going to be a long day.

 

[Gethelred]

Nope. This is worse than that.

Look at a more complicated VFL ladder. They have genuinely the worst offense in the VFL, by nearly 150 points across the season; they've kicked 309 points in 7-8 games.

It should not be that easy for them to score against us, even with poor defensive structures and a lack of KPD.
