Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

Shaw kicks one out of his arse.

We are in deep pooh atm.

7.3.45 Them
1.0.6 Us

We don't even look like scoring, let alone getting the pill.

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

Why should Ratten be held responsible for the lack of effort of some players?

At the professional level the coaches main job is to motivate his players.

Lack of effort = lack of motivation.

You answered your own question.

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

Lol Sydney kicked another goal? Wow Carlton thanks for going backwards like Essendon in 2010

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

IF you want proof that this game is rigged by the umpires

HOW IN THE BLUEST OF BLUE HELL IS THAT NOT HOLDING THE FREAKING FOOTBALL

Sydney scum cheats.

Give us fair umpiring and Sydney don't come within ten goals of us.

Can;t argue with that.

There is no doubt the buck stops with the coaching staff, no question.

But the player decision making appears to be an issue also

Cause it aint Rattens fault, its the weather, playing surface, umpires, players, exactly what is Ratten responsible for?

Woot!

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

They are ****ing cheating maggots those umpires. Yarran took 11 steps after he bounced. Goodes dropped the ball when tackled, no free kick. Judd does the same, free kick. Bolton dives like a fairy, free kick. McVeigh dives like the big girl that he is, free kick. I am sick of the ****ing piss poor standard of umpiring in the game nowadays.

mods should do something about people abusing the swear filter

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

Scotland goal. What a player. What a superstar.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Scotland gets a nice give from Robinson and goals from 50.

Still down by 33.

 

[bigblue23]

Is hampson playing or is he a late change?

 

[Mr_Plow]

Shot of Lucas in the rooms does not look good at all. Being helped to walk by two medical staff.

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

What is Ratten responsible for mate, would that be on field performances, player development etc.

Ratten aint up to it, dont care if we come back and win this, we need a coaching clean out.

Totally agree with this

While our players are playing like crap, Ratten isn't doing anything for us.

In my opinion, we need someone who can bring some toughness back into our side, someone who will actually motivate our players after a bad start

Not quite, more blame to Scotland for an awful pass if there is blame (which I'm not saying there is - that's silly).

Bad luck Kane. Good goal - well done Mitch. Well done Scotland.

Because ultimately it's up to the coach to get the players up and about.

If he can't motivate them then perhaps he's lost them?

LOL probably

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

Well done Scotland. I knew that goal was too good to be true. Brilliant pass for Sydney.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Is hampson playing or is he a late change?

has 4 hitouts only

 

[BLUE BLEEDING]

Every ****ing week I hear Carlton supporters blame umpires and do that loud sarcastic cheer when one goes our way. F*cking pathetic.

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

Why should Ratten be held responsible for the lack of effort of some players? You are just demonstrating the sort of behaviour which has decimated the Richmond Football Club for 30 years. Knee jerk sacking of coaches does not win premierships.

Personally I think we could afford to lose some of our supporters, because they are behaving more & more like sooky Richmond supporters.

This...

Hard man has hunger to get Richmond firing

I listened to Mark Harvey speak at the 10-year anniversary of the Essendon 2000 premiership last Sunday night, and one key point he made was this - you can have all the structures and team rules you like, but have if you don't have a fierce desire or a hunger for a brutal contest, structures mean absolutely nothing.

While Richmond has only won five games and will have its ups and downs from here until season's end, watching the players belt out the theme song after wins suggests that they are thriving under Damien Hardwick, and have the passion and hunger to succeed in the areas highlighted by Harvey.

Re: game Day Thread Carton v Sydney

It's not over yet.

But our players seem so fragile mentally when put under pressure.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We are starting to get a bit of the ball,
still bombing inside 50 though.

 

[The Toad]

We are struggling when Murphy misses a target by 3 meters.
