Has been poor this year. Some brilliant glimpses here and there but overall not doing enough, and has cost us at key moments.

And a big chunk of salary cap.
Hope we can move that on in whole or in part.

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Oh ffs.
:eyeroll:
Our defence never gets a rest.
Too many times tonight we'd get it forward and by showing no poise or patience it's a quick turn over and defence chasing tail under extreme pressure.
Charlie is often guilty of this, tries to rush everything and not slow down a play when it needs it.
Throw McGovern and Saad back in defence, cerra in they middle, Martin and motlop in the forward line and there is no way we are losing that.
Our defence is sorely missing Saad and McGovern, we've lost pressure, intercept and rebound. We lose the ability to force opposition defence to spread without the nous of Martin and motlop is our only genuine small forward who snap goals

This. Losing Cerra, Saad and McGovern with hamstings a couple of weeks ago was the tipping point for injuries. Injuries will probably end up costing us Top 4 and a legitimate chance for the Premiership.... Meanwhile Geelong with their creaky old list and their 1-2 injuries are marching towards a top of the ladder finish and God forbid another Premiership !
Bestie and I kept saying this. We had more time than we thought up forward but perceived pressure made us rush.

I usually try to choose one player in these polls so it is a hard choice this time.
I’m going Acres. Seemed like a standout, particularly in those dying minutes of the game.

Just watched the Voss presser and he ain’t happy!
We obviously had enough looks but in the end couldn’t capitalise enough.
Cats caught us out the back way too many times!
IMO we still require more speed around the ball. They flicked it out of stoppage numerous times and got us on the outside.
Might obviously help when we start getting some players back like cez/cuners ect which will give us a better dynamic

our biggest problem is injury prones - martin cunners and marchy in particular - i dont know how much they're on and how much trade capital they have but i reckon we'd be better off culling all three asap.

it also means if he messes it up it catches our players off guard because the oppo tend to rebound off quickly
if charlie settled it gives our players time to catch their breath and get back into position

100% Geelong won't win the flag
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 decent run with injury would rip the competition a new one .

Really
Truly.
So many plays end up in coming to a contested long ball up the line.
Multiple times Geelong had a 2-3 v 1 contest we'd kick too.
So easy to defend against.

Maybe ...
i mean we were winning clearances before and after he came off and his replacement had fresh legs
I think they scored more off rebounds anyway although a few times danger did win some clearances running through the middle
He kicked it straight to us everytime though so no damage
Pitt towelled up their rucks all night.
How weird does it feel being genuinely mad that we feel we should be winning basically every game now? Not long ago we were seething for every opposite reason.
Very proud of how far we have come as a club.
We are lead by a brilliant skipper, coach and we are FINALLY starting to be the Carlton Football Club this competition once feared.

Fog has been a huge loss. I hope he returns sooner than later.
