a small collection of words about tonight...


The umpires changed the course of the game with a collection of very dodgy decisions that favoured the bummer w***ers

But on top of that... we sucked tonight

If Fev had kicked straight, we would have been a mile in front
 
WE played like we did 2 years ago.

****ing Stevens is pathetic. He has no heart whatsoever. He just sat and watched that ball, pure luck that it fell into his hands and he got it to Wiggins to score before 3/4 time.

DROP: Stevens the useless, heartless overrated overpaid ****ing ****.
Johnson. Pathetic game.
Gibbs. Drop him and make hiim learn his lesson. Never again will he have such a useless game.


Bring back Scotto adn bring back some guts and heart. Drop Stevens, useless ****ing wonder.
 
Maybe we will grow from this. Maybe we will realise that we can never give up, that we can never stop. We just did not have the numbers at the ball - we played like someone who has already been paid.

Ridiculous. If our team played better, and had some bloody heart, we'd be a mile in Front.

Played pathetically. Pagan days. No confidence, no run, no heart, no support, no talk. A few players stood tall, the rest need to harden the **** up and take a trip down memory lane and see what it means to play for the Navy Blue, and decide if they want to do that, coz if not, they can piss off.
 
Sorry for intruding but that is one of the most postiive losses your gonna have. Fev kicked 3 goals 7. Essendon played the best they have in 18 months and they stlll only won by 4 points. While you had 1 or 2 passengers (namely Chris Johnson) all in all Essedon played out of there skins and won by 4 points. Good signs indeed all in all.
 
****, **** and ****ing **** sums up my thoguhts right now.

Gibbs should not be dropped.

Stevens was utterly, utterly useless. Utterly useless. Spectating soft ****.

Garlett needs to go. He's had a good run, but just seems a bit overawed ATM.

Missed a big body down back. Why, oh why, did Ratten not bring in Setanta, and in the process play Lloyd back into form.

Once again, too much fell to Judd.

Very unfortunate loss, heart was going a mile a minute toward the end as I'm sure thousands of others did.

Quite simply we lacked intensity and wanting of the ball (except perhaps a certain no.8).

Hope they get a big spray and learn from this.
 
A word of warning to all posters. If this thread turns into a slanging match, whether it be among Carlton supporters or with input from opposition supporters, the thread will be closed.

Feel free to discuss the game, point out where we went wrong & even discuss changes for next week, but keep it civil.
 
on a brighter note, paul bower was shit hot tonight.... coming of age performance i think. i wouldnt be too concerned if i were a blues supporter, you will win a lot more than you lose this year

Very true Embers and Cheers for coming here and not trolling after the loss to a much hated rival.

Heads Up Blue fans we played and kicked well below our best and the Bombers played there best so a 4 point loss as dissapointing as it is and i am hurting to is not the end of the world.

Hopefully next week against Sydney we Improve and get back to the pressure and style we played in the 1st two rounds. :thumbsu:
 
we were due for a downer, simple as that.

a lot of "ifs" in tonights game...if they went our way we win by five if they dont we lose by 4 points..

simple as that...

thanks for the brain snap Thornton.
 
I think the main points have been summed up thus far. Stevens didn't deserve to be in the side and played like it. No heart whatsoever and i think Scotland will be licking his lips knowing he'll be back next week. Gibbs was very poor. Too much left to Judd and Murphy (who i had never really rated until tonight). Who is that ranga ruckman? He's an absolute spud, Mark Blake MK2. Anyways, as much as i hate Carlton i still think you guys will play finals, however it'll just be making up numbers.

Sure Thornton got sucked in, but you could point to so many incidents/passages of play that cost us the game. Fev's 4.7 came back to hurt us, including that poster in the 2nd quarter when he tried to kick a spectacular goal. Bett's kick which hit the back of the goal post, players getting rundown from behind. The ridiculous free kick against Kreuzer when he got kneed in the head & couldn't move. It is impossible to point to one particular point of the game that cost us the match. There were so many times we 'bombed' certain goals.
