If you read that as a player you’d be straight on the phone to your manager. I hope he wasn’t attempting to be inspirational. What a knob.

I thought choosing Ed Curnow as sub was an intelligent move by the Blues. I mean c’mon, you deserve everything you get picking an old player lacking class who rarely kicks goals and provides zero leg speed as your sub.
Decisions like that come back to bite as you saw when Dogs ran all over them in the last 10 minutes.

Nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than when Carlton implode and turn on themselves. Absolute weak gutted club

Unfortunately after the bye they have a fairly cruisey run and should win most of their last 6-7 games. Just hope the bottom falls out by then
Hahah...that was magnificent!...that just needs the triple chins and Malthouse caption...we destroyed Cartoons!
Sounds and reads like the 'second smartest man in the room' after CScott the original 'smartest man in the room'...
What a deluded club...may it never change!

Carlton president Luke Sayers pumped out his chest and preached positivity.
With the club’s board and senior leadership under blistering attack the man who appointed coach Michael Voss hit back.
Sayers declared the match against Western Bulldogs a “must-win” and that upcoming against Collingwood, Sydney (SCG) and Melbourne would test the club’s premiership mettle.
“It brings a huge opportunity for us. We take on three of the last four grand finalists as well as the current ladder-leader,” Sayers said in his pre-game address at the president’s function.
“Pressure makes diamonds and it will be these moments that our character is hardened and our path towards our vision gains clarity.”
But in reality it takes billions of years to make diamonds – a period fed-up supporters might feel they’ve waited – and this round 9 encounter looked more like a lump of coal.
“This could be the worst game of footy I’ve seen in a long time,” club great Brendan Fevola tweeted along with an emoji covering his eyes.

The Blues have failed their first two tests – last week against Brisbane and last night against the Dogs.
This was a confusing loss.
The Blues kicked one goal from 29 inside 50s in the first half with the past two Coleman Medallists plonked in their forward line.
Their ball movement was, once again, stodgy
Until it mattered. The Blues were trailing 11-42 and then led 51-47 after a clear mindset shift to take the game on.
Where was that endeavour earlier?
Brownlow medallist Brad Hardie said he spoke to Voss last week and suspected the Blues had overcorrected from last year and gone too defensive.

The reality is they have won just six out of their past 21 games.
Only Greater Western Sydney, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and West Coast have lost more games over a sample spanning 12 months.
Carlton’s skill level and lack of run remain at the forefront of concerns.
Blake Acres gifted Jason Johannisen the first goal of the night and went at 0 per cent efficiency for his first eight kicks.
The Dogs entered as the lowest-scoring last-quarter team.
But they banged through five of the final six goals after twice momentarily losing their lead.
At one stage they had three goals from their past five kicks.
They kicked six goals from their first 44 inside 50s and then four from four.
Goodnight.
At the other end it was like watching a bunch of snap school dropouts.
In the first half Harry McKay, Patrick Cripps and Jesse Motlop combined for 0.1 from round-the-corner kicks.
It’s a lottery what type of kick McKay opts for and that’s a worry.
Matt Owies is the sharpshooter … and most of his teammates boot blunt bananas.
In fairness they were up against a stingy defence.

In the past seven weeks the Dogs have leaked 67.2 points per game, ranked No. 2 in the AFL.
What about Tom De Koning? The Blues aren’t in love with their out-of-contract big man, but if they think Marc Pittonet is a wiser long-term ruckman they might regret that decision.
In fact there’s a lot of decisions at Carlton that have been called into question.
“The decisions we make, the strategies we employ, the commentary around us will be analysed, scrutinised, and intensify the expectation,” Sayers said.
“And we don’t shy away from expectation. We know and understand the responsibility – the responsibility that comes with expectation.
“To all the commentary that surrounds this renowned football club we will remain focused, united and true to our vision.
“The vision of not just making finals in 2023. And achieving sustained success that sees us play finals every year and winning premierships.
“We cannot afford to be haunted by hypotheticals or weighed down and distracted by the discord of external commentary.”
Fighting words from a club in a funk.
