Autopsy Rd 10 v Saints. Not good enough when it counted.

[Dadda Dave]

Carlton FC sucking the joy out of football for the last 15 years.

And you've been putting up with it for 15 years??

 

[dlb99]

Liked Stockers mongrel and effort.

SOS and his team are not the problem.

Stocker will be another win on the draft side.
We need 2 or 3 more Stockers.
Will be a beast when he is 24.

We have been a cluster **** for 20 years now. The AFL must be close to stepping in and saving Carlton from Carlton

 

[macca_74]

And that may be the problem, we have a young group with an inexperienced coach... in hindsight that might not be the best mix

This! Was always a risky move to put a first time coach in charge of a massive rebuild. Bolton may in time be a great coach but seems like he isn’t the right man for this job at this time.

No blame attached to this but we shouldn’t be blindly stubborn about it.

And the mature age pick we traded to Geelong for pick 42 kicked 6 on the weekend.

Well, he’s unlikely to get a game for the Cats anytime soon. Maybe we can pick him up for a second round pick!

Seriously now hearing Josh Deluca is the player we're drafting. Laughable.

I heard the club is looking to draft Brad Scott as a player/on-field coach

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

I don’t even enjoy footy anymore

My sentiments exactly!!!
I hate the AFL for so many reasons I can only watch Carlton games but that has now run its race.
I'm sick to flipping death of people pissing on my back and telling me it's raining.
Something is seriously wrong with this football club.
There is not one single excuse left.
PATHETIC!!!

Leigh Fisher did not lose the game for us BUT it is quite negligent for the afl to allow an umpire to adjudicate in games involving his former team. When there’s discretion involved the unconscious/conscious bias plays a huge factor

Felt the same way whenever we had Bannister. It's ALWAYS going to go one of two ways.

In an effort to demonstrate a lack of bias you penalize your former team more harshly than you normally would or what happened today.

At the end of the day it's genuine human nature. There are eight other games on most weeks (less during the bye rounds) for the former player to umpire. My problem isn't with former umpires umpiring games but they should never be allowed to umpire games their former team is involved in.

With sooo many players who showed they couldn’t be arsed last week staying the team, this was always going to happen.

High profile draft picks aren’t scared of being dropped after abysmal performances so they have no motivation to lift their game, and that’s on the coach and selection committee.

Bolton has showed for years that he plays favourites and is stubborn, going all the way back to last year when he just kept on playing O’Shea nearly every game even those he was consistently WOG every week.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Someone will have to explain to me how?

Are people in meetings, do they know what players are being told, what are the instructions, are the players ignoring him, what is it exactly?

I would really like to know. What i see is a side that is extremely young and pushed around and no matter what the the structure would struggle.

As I have said many times I can't question a coach if he doesn't have the players

Nothing wrong with the players against this mob today mate. The team was plenty good enough. Such a low scoring deplorable standard and still they couldnt find enough. Why is what needs to be worked out and dealt with.

 

[juzza316]

Barrel of laughs in here. Seriously though, if we learn to tackle properly (and this will come with bigger bodies) we can expect to get more free kicks and give away less with the holding the ball rule.

We have been a cluster **** for 20 years now. The AFL must be close to stepping in and saving Carlton from Carlton

We don't need saving.
We don't need priority picks.
Our off-field is fine.
Our drafting is fine.
Our fitness boss is the best in the business.

Our coaches are league worst.

 

[windows1]

i have OME question. Seriously. Please someone answer me:

WHY DOESNT DOW EVER EVER CHASE?????????????

At the end of the day, umpiring in the first half aside, we lost the contested ball when it counted and, when we did move it forward, we did so in a way that was so haphazard we couldn’t capitalise.

Four years I’ve been hoping for our skills, the very basics, to improve. But they haven’t. We can’t hit targets and we wilt when there’s a sniff of pressure.

I have no idea whether someone other than Bolts could do a better job. But right now this club is in free-fall.

And frankly if we’d play liked that against GWS then the margin might have been 70 points rather than 93.

Spot on 3 and a half years in and the skill level especially via foot is diabolical under pressure .
Individual young players have improved but as a team we are a bunch of individuals not gelling together .

Almost is the teacher (and not the coach) in him - to persist with students in the hope their performance eventually vindicates your decision in keeping the faith. But that isn’t sustainable in coaching where that poor performing player impacts a team.

 

[BrianSetzer]

So what did Bolts enlighten us with in the presser?

 

[thylacine60]

Cripps should walk out of this club, I will follow him to whichever club he chooses, we don't deserve Cripps.

I will drive you, WC included

 

[the nail]

Been saying it all year.

He is the icing not the cake.

2 seconds and mcadam for him. 5 possessions today and injured. Career average told you this is how he rolls.

Wrong player for what we needed

i agree....paid way overs for him,and didnt really need him to begin with.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Dont think I’ve seen a worse Carlton team by foot, which is staggering considering the talent we have.

See ball, kick ball.

 

[BluesForever24]

Have to knock this club down and start from scratch, I can;t see any hope for this pathetic club.

Piss off and follow another club then

 

[krayfesh]

Sometimes when I watch Carlton play, it feels like 5 players on the field know the gameplan. Then everyone else tries to learn it on the fly.

It's my only explanation.

I'm worried for Bolton. He can't control the skills, but eventually he'll have to go. A painful inevitability.

Cause him and sps sit up the front of the class and shower the teacher with ****ing apples

Maybe the coach should have some closed training sessions to get them to practice.

 

[RedFury]

Simple question. Why do our handball chains just get us into more trouble while the saints chains get them out of it?

Is it structure?
Is it skill execution?
Is it effort?
Is it decision making under pressure?
All of the above?
