Ed Curnow was hands down our best on the field, and that shouldn't really be the case. That says something about the rest of the team. They need to LIFT!!!
Maybe 9 days was not a long enough of a break between games.
wasn't bad but i wouldn't go that far. tried but im not sure he gives us much

Agree with 99% of that coach!
Only thing re Cripps, as you said, the selection of Polson instead of another tall was dumb, but it really hurt Cripps too. How's he supposed to have an impact when around the ground we had no real ruckman to help him out?

Fisher, Cuningham and SPS all showed a bit.
Scratching for positives....

Wish Murphs had been traded, not Gibbsy. Levi has to go (no value up forward or in ruck). Mullet was OK today (watch this space situ) Fisher a big tick. Weiters down but not out. Bolts needs to find Jones' best position and leave him there. Daisy continues to put his heart into playing. While we need to get our ruck brigade back just as importantly we need to get consistency in our on ball pressure and tackling.

Hopefully we make about 5 to 6 changes next week.

If Kreuzer, Phillips and Lobbe do not play next week, I would like to see McKay in.
Jones, Weitering, etc. again out of position with the midfield constantly coughing up the ball. Our delivery to the forward line was horrendous.
Positives ... Fisher, Murphy, Ed Curnow... then Cripps and Charlie in patches, Cuningham’s run and I50 in the last quarter, Polson got his hand on the footy a bit early, Casboult a solid rucking effort against a number 1 ruck .. .Garlett’s leap.
Jones, Weitering, Mullett, Lamb poor, many others average ...

This daylight and shade interaction of Etihad can take some blame after watching the first half of saints v north yesterday. Wait till Friday night and we are at the G. We ****ing need a win. Kruezer, Kennedy, McKay in for Casboult, lamb and Polson.
Our general standard of play was deplorable, just not our day. However let's not forget the Suns are a very talented team and will be one of the surprise climbers this year along with the Lions.
New Coach and direction has made a difference.
Also last weeks game against the Tigers was very hard on the players for a first game , last quarter was very flat.
Look forward to new inclusions next week and giving the Pies hiding. Go Blues

Philips and McKay both played in the vfl didnt they? i understand Philips is under done but we still should of played McKay and why wouldn't you play Kerridge over polson at least kerridge would hav got his hands on it and got in and had a go he actually was good late last yr

I still think he shows a lot of grit and determination
We would have been worse off today with another youngster in the side
I really feel we lost that in the first quarter .. The lack of intent was telling.
We lost some working class heroes in Kennedy and Kreuzer.

I dont even want to play finals....but can they just TEASE us with the POSSIBILITY of playing finals until ohh maybe rn10?
No, every year, the season is lost before it begins. We are woeful.

Did anyone notice the autopsy header for last week (Blues go down in encouraging performance) - how things can change in a week.
Waaaay way more, yet we still only have 20/25 scoring shots.
But who’d want to be a forward in that dogs breakfast of a set up tbh.
And the kicks coming in.......
Being at the game, it was obvious to me that to miss targets by hand & foot, drop marks & fumbling was to make sure Lynch was happy to stay at the Suns. So that he won't want to to the filthy Pies.
A grand plan by Bolton

Casboult was the best option for the ruck in this game under the circumstances we found ourselves in... I didn't realise Phillips played, but if he did, it was his first game back from a long, long injury layoff... there is no way you bring McKay into the ruck, so my positions stands.

WEEE Had none that are ready
We will not be genuine finals material until we become consistent in applying pressure and minimising our skill errors (not to mention win games). We are some way off that experience.
Is it too early to ask the AFL for a special draft pick? Half the team today were VFL quality hacks.
That though doesn't excuse the lack of skill by just about every player and the terrible decision to not select a true ruck and the inexcusable persistence with Jones playing loose on Lynch. Bolton needs to take responsibility for these things.
Aside from that the list is bereft of leadership. Countless fumbles and errors in the first half by our leaders. You can't win football games when your so-called leaders fumble and butcher the ball.
This was a complete and utter disaster of a game for this once proud and great football club.
Can't wait to see BB in the presser. Wonder if he will trot out corporate mumbo jumbo BS or actually call it as it is and apologise to fans, members and stakeholders and take responsibility as the head of the football part of the business that is the CFC.
Just an unprofessional display in every respect from the players to the leaders to the game plan to the selection table.
