Review Power v Blues - Bye Bye Sweet 13

[Coobk001]

Coaches need to look at how we were beaten, adjust our defensive mechanics, and the team needs to respond against Collingwood.

Best case scenario is that this is just a poor night, we have been up for a long time, and all the skill errors, the game style flaws and the complete lack of intensity today is just a result of being on such a streak and this reality check gets us back on track.

The worst case scenario is that what we all thought at the start of the year catches up with us, the Tredrea effect has worn off and we blow a golden top 2 opportunity, only to make up the numbers in finals.

We find out the answer next week.


Clearly we were our own worst enemy for most of the night. Incredibly poor decisions, poor use, poor execution in front of goal, a complete lack of intensity handballing into blocks, standing still and letting kicks get chopped off, and zero defensive running allowing them to stream and overlap and destroy us with their scoring from defensive chains.

A horrendous night. That poses a lot of questions. I hope that this was just a blip, but it has way more than that written all over it.

The Blues won 13 in a row in 2000. They then lost 3 in a row, and went on to lose a prelim to the near unbeatable Essendon. This season from us just feels so similar. Can't help but feel that we'll be playing a home prelim away against Collingwood and that Hinkley will blow his 4th prelim.

[gbear]

Absolutely pathetic performance. WGT you were right!

 

[Schulzenfest]

Despite that shitshow, funnily enough we're still just as likely to make top two now as we were with ten minutes to go in Brisbane's game last night.

 

[davesnothere]

Played like a team that made 7 changes and brought Jonas back in.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Massive game next week.

this will show us if we are a different side from previous years.

im hoping we are, but we have seen this all before

Tom Jonas makes his team mates smaller

B.O.G for Carlton

 

[Visenfest]

We got what we deserved. We f**ked around at selection, and found out.

Tom Jonas makes his team mates smaller

B.O.G for Carlton

Sadly as shit as Jonas was, he wasn’t our worst.

 

[afl2004]

Sadly as s**t as Jonas was, he wasn’t our worst.

He's captain no exuses

 

[longdonkey]

We are carrying a few frat track bullies in that team. Some real handbagger efforts in that game. Far too many passengers to be competitive. Carlton are rubbish and I'm not really worried by that one loss but I can see a typical Hinkley late year collapse coming. Maybe he is coaching after all.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Houston & Rozee can hold their heads high, the rest can be ashamed.

And stick a fork in Jonas because he is DONE

 

[Troopsy]

Mead and Jonas gtfo

 

[OneGreatClub]

We don’t seem to have the depth. Wonder how many players we will have played by next week?We can’t seem to take a trick. Ah well maybe next season.

 

[philthy05]

We all know Jonas put up one of the worst performances in a port jumper ever today, but despite that it wasn’t him that cost us the game…lycetts absolute capitulation to a nobody in the first 1/4 and a bit set the tone and allowed blues to jump us.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Jonas BOG. Welcome back skip

 

[klem22]

Carlton completely exposed this side and its coaches.
I seriously hope I'm wrong but the potential for a serious slide down hill from here bothers me.

, everyone seemed to be competing for the Highest Kick Trophy.

Ollie Lord, you need to learn how to kick before you can command a place in this team.

 

[QPower]

The unforced changes were a big mistake.

This one lost at selection.

 

[Windy Cindy]

He's captain no exuses

No excuses from me, just there were worse players than him, just shows how shit we played.

 

[DazzaTys]

I expected a loss but that was rubber dog shizen out of Hong Kong terrible. Opportunity for some fringe players to stake a claim and they completely pooed the bed. Not sure Mead is going to be AFL standard and Jonas is cooked.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Jonas BOG. Welcome back skip

That would have to be the worst game, by a PAFC captain, of all times

 

[Del165198]

Jonas = piss, never again. retire now pls
Mead = piss, that moment in the last where he was on his own kicking it uncontested to another player 35m away.. and he kicked it 10m over his head
Burton = all the intesnity of a wet flannel
Finlayson = had a stinker tonight, not sure what happened
Bergman = gone to shit after re-signing
Butters = gone to shit after the bye??


Duursma wasn't good but at least ran the game out strongly which is a plus.

If we're to have any chance of winning a final we need butters and rozee re-entering godmode, and JHF at least back in and making a contribution.
