GAME DAY THREAD - Port Adelaide vs. Carlton

[gandaal]

Stevens - 0/10 Clanger with every possession
Fisher- 1/10 What exactly is he doing?
Fevola- 4/10 What exactly is he meant to do against three opponents?
Murphy- 3/10 Missing targets and easy goals
Waite- 3/10 Missing easy goals
Cloke- 1/10 ditto
Simmo- 7/10 Running hard
Bentick- 5/10 Good in the packs
Judd- 7/10 good in the middle
Betts- 2/10 Doing nothing
Russell- 0/10 Having a shocker
Grigg- 4/10 Running hard but can't play in the wet
Gibbs- 3/10 Done nothing
Thornton- 4/10 Done nothing

The rest have been more or less unsighted.

Three players with a pass mark.

 

[Blue Dimension]

Scotland, Carazzo, Simpson, Fisher and to a lesser extent Waite and Stevens need to have a good hard look at themselves! Six of our so called more experienced players and they are doing NOTHING. I detest bagging players but sometimes it's warranted, i mean at least put your bloody head over the nut and have a crack

Don't know what you're watching, but Waite and Simpson have been good in the first half.

Gibbs- 3/10 Done nothing

Agree with most of what you've said but Gibbs has played one of his better games so far. Done a great negating role on Chad Cornes and has put in the 1 per centers that have kept us alive.

 

[Captain Judd]

The conditions are obviously a major factor in our performance but I don't understand why port Adelaide have 21 less clangers then us and we are on the same amount of wins as them. I am so sick of these sort of performances that have gone on for the past 7 years and unless it changes soon, I think I'll be telling Carlton to change their club song to 'we're the team that always lets you down.'

exactly right. have we really improved this year?? Take Judd out of the team and have we improved from last year? Disposals still crap. tackling still crap. We still yet to learn the fundamentals of AFL footy..

 

[reg_lower91]

pathetic performance by carlton. They are reiterating what Chad said, during the week: we are looking like easy-beats.

Russell cost us two goals by being handball happy, the same ____ing story every week. We are playing stupid fev-conscious footy. Only four goals in it but, ATM, it seems as if we are 10 goals out of it....

Wake up ratts and get some moves in to fix this mess.

 

[Doza]

He has got a pt Blueblood - We know Stevo is there to receive but on a wet day he has to get closer to do even that

Thanks Five. I am not saying that Stevens should be getting contested possesions. I'm not dumb, I know he's in the team to play a different role. But he is not doing enough today, especially for a senior player who is VC.

 

[MBIB]

Either move Fev or take him off. Of course he's frustrated but he can't let it get to him he's had long enough to take anger management classes.
Did anyone else catch the look on Juddy's face when Fev went for the whack?

Simmo, despite doing a couple of 'non-team' things in the first Q was nevertheless ALL GUTS IN THE FIRST Q - so can't agree

we must be trying as we have had 20 more contested possies

are you watching the same game?? Fish is providing the only other option besides Fev and doing it well. Murph is getting in and around the ball and getting his hands on it, Waite has been the best for us down back and keeping us in it really, Cloke's worked his ____ing ass off around the ground and deserves MUCH more than a 1, Betts is chasing and putting on great pressure, and Thornton has done a lot more than nothing.

Just because they missed a shot on goal doesn't mean you give them a rating of 1 or 2 or 3. Pull your finger out mate

 

[reddevils88]

we are an ordinary skilled side in the dry and we are deplorable in the wet. I can't believe the amount of assists our players keep giving opposition players. Once again jarrad waite (first assist of the match to rodant) then russell with two more beautiful assists for port goals. we are a long long long way of afl standard. I thought richmond were bad. we have the same players who continue to make mistakes. The only positive is Thornton (aggressive) Hampson (o.k.) Judd (well what do expect when playing with donkey's)
we have zero awareness. Must clean out players at year's end. Experienced one's not blokes who have time on their side.

Move fev to a wing and waite to full forward.

you are kidding yourself buddy

gibbs 3/10

???????/

how many kicks has chad had? did you not see the good work gibbs has been doing? You know this game of AFL its a funny thing, just because a player is not getting alot of the ball doesn't mean they are not contributing.

Gibbs has been fantastic.

 

[sherb]

Fev's got a tough job week in week out having 2,3,sometimes 4 defenders chopping deliveries off to him.I wanna know what OUR spare players are doing???? Juddy cant win games alone!!!

The problem I have with Fevola is when things start going against him, apart from the fact that he loses his cool (eg 50m penalty) he also seems to lose the team ethic and tries to do it all himself. A classic example of what I mean is when he got the ball on the boundary line late in the second term and tried to pot a speccy goal instead of dishing it off to a team-mate.

i agree with that but id actually go as far as to put Fev a lose man down back.... just get him to bomb the f*** our of the ball out of defence, we get too hand ball happy down there!

 

[sherb]

You are being hysterical

Welcome to the BF Carlton board - hysteria reigns supreme.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Fundamentals!!!

 

[I_was_there_in_87]

Thought gibbs has been good - clean when in and around the packs and chump kornes has done nothing.

I am going to jump through the tv and get dwayne russell if he says that cornes was always going to get fev after embarrasing him on national tv - ffs it was a throw away line and kornes started it dwayne - what does he expect fev to do sit their and take it.

Hampson looking good again.

How easy would it be to send them out in a frenzy for this half - talk about having plenty of ammo (esp for Fev)

 

[gandaal]

are you watching the same game?? Fish is providing the only other option besides Fev and doing it well.

LOL

Murph is getting in and around the ball and getting his hands on it,

But not using it well. He's better than what he's showing.

Waite has been the best for us down back and keeping us in it really,

Missed two goals on the run directly in front fourty out. Unforgivable.

Cloke's worked his ____ing ass off around the ground and deserves MUCH more than a 1,

Being a poor football player isn't an excuse. Crap game capped off by a shocking kick in front of goal that a 10 year old would kick.

Betts is chasing and putting on great pressure and Thornton has done a lot more than nothing.

Both have done nothing to influence the game.

Just because they missed a shot on goal doesn't mean you give them a rating of 1 or 2 or 3. Pull your finger out mate

Yeah it does. Poor kicking for goal kills momentum, and kills football team. These are profssionals and that sort of crap is unforgivable. Pull your finger out mate.

very harsh on those two. Gibbs is playing a defensive role again. Everytime he gets possesion he uses the ball well. He has a higher football IQ than just about all off these clowns put together, including the coach

Fev's never been a team player we all know that.

 

[reg_lower91]

start to the third quarter is a pathetic one.... we really do look like a wooden spoon side tonight... we WILL get pumped if we keep going like this... astonishing how a bloke can get up off his knees and get the kick away with out being tackled when he's got four carlton players around him

 

[Kouta_legend]

Im switching off this is f'n horror

Spot on

 

[reg_lower91]

Please Stop Kicking It To Fev!!!

____ing Wake Up Blue Boys!!!

 

[The Coach]

Kick ins are like Chess - you have to be thinking more than one move ahead - we dont - we give off little short who then has no one to kick it to
