In fairness today Voss had very little to work with today. If the club didn’t have an injury list as long as a Tolstoy novel I’m sure Durdin and Motlop (and a few others) wouldn’t have been playing today. I actually thought the effort today was fantastic. We had the chance to win, we just didn’t take it.

I’m more pissed at the off field leaders of the club. Andrew Russell should’ve been shown the door last year. Martin, Marchbank and Cuningham should have been delisted at the end of last year. We’ve been missing a good small forward and tall back depth years.

Yep, makes it a lot harder to do any proper analysis of coaching performance with so many best 22 players out. Curnow, McKay, McGovern, DeKoning, are 4 out of our best 22 spine. Then add Cerra, Docherty, Williams, Martin, Boyd and it's really the whole story behind our fall from grace.

I remember many moons ago that an old regular poster, Harker, did some analysis on finalists and injuries, and any time a club used more than 30 players in a season, their odds of going deep in finals fell off dramatically.

Getting Russell's replacement right is going to be critical to our ability to manage a team that clearly is injury prone.

Why hasn't Voss played the kids? Ran the players into the ground during the season, the kids showed what they can do in the last two games, but Voss the genius knows it all.

Voss is only one part of the match committee.

Positive thoughts about the game:

Ollie has got it now, almost BOG for us.

Lord, Binns and Moir all look like rippers.

Walshy finally played well.

Onwards to 2025.

like who...did they play today??

 

[Soapy V]

Not disagreeing soapy, but should’ve been on earlier & for a diff player

I just don’t think he would have had the impact he did if he had played longer.

I have no issue with change. Carroll was just okay, Lord was really stepping up next to Cripps, and we went with an extra goal kicker

We lost in the last 12 seconds. I understand the decision

 

[Juddrockz]

Dont want Port to win,we'd be just making up numbers and just don't deserve to be playing finals this year.
Absolutely guttered seeing Crippa's heart sink again.

Surely failmantle can do the right thing, it’s in their DNA to be losers

 

[Stig O'Hara]

In total freefall gang.

Bongs, beers & random Spotify.

Someone else can take the controls.

We all hope against hope. The sad reality is we aren’t even getting in the same vicinity as #17 for another generation. This group, and club, don’t have it.

Effort was there and I’m proud with how hard the boys fought.

- Acres was huge. I’ve never seen Carlton so clearly ‘win’ a trade in a very long time.

- Durdin was courageous with his shoulder absolutely stuffed.

- Moir to me looks like the Martin replacement.

- Cripps was (as always) huge. Walsh played his best game in a long time. Ollie hollands was awesome, as was Newman and Hewett.

- We look so much better when we attack and ditch Voss’s layers. This is his 4th year next year, he needs mature support in the box and needs to allow us to play a faster, more attacking brand.


Cut the injury plagued players, rebalance the list with some speed and try build some durability. Half glass full for me and let’s hope this burns the club over the off season and powers them forward.

 

[Beyond Blue]

Ollie was everywhere today...every time i thought **** rabble are going to run away with it Ollie was there.

The highlight of today’s game for me and he has been great the past few weeks. We’ve got a really good player there.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Umpires with way too much influence - in both directions.

Wasn't why we lost, but a blight on the game

Wasn't it?

How many bs frees does a team need till we can blame some of it on umpiring??

 

[jooce8891]

Surely failmantle can do the right thing, it’s in their DNA to be losers

its in ours now, deeply rooted also

 

[Blueballs38]

Young was sensational today.
Really loved what i saw from Moir and Lord - we have a couple of good ones there.
Binns will be a star - we absolutely must hang on to him.

Young played reasonably well but he does shit the bed. No confidence and it shows.

 

[Soapy V]

Lords hands inside and under pressure are elite. Best I’ve seen at that age. Quick & clean and hits targets

What a great pick up. Will be best 22 next year

 

[Accidental genius]

I'm usually the guy that has a laugh in times of trouble.

But right now, I just can't...

lift ffs

 

[katmanblue]

What???

Sheeesh i am batting for Kemp! Anyone who blames him for this loss is clueless.

He's saying what you wanted to say for you not to you

Yeap...

Ollie, Lord and Moir ...im excited about

 

[Dramoth]

Deaths, taxed and being the laughing stock of the competition

Wouldn't that be *?

This is their year. They have a great list. nek minnut... don't play the finals.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Ollie, Binns, Lord, Moir are going to be some seriously good players…

Boys are better in the seniors than they are in the reserves…

 

[thebluenewdeal]

I can see the headline already… “Carlton Bottle it Again”

 

[katmanblue]

this team will always let you down

Fairly reliable like that
