Autopsy Rd 14 Blues go home at half time

[Pablito]

Not a great game, we were pretty much dominated.

 

[V_23]

Embarrassing. Humiliating. Gutless.

 

[AB_Blue]

To the list management thread it is......

[The Dochs in]

We’re not good enough, it’s as simple as that

 

[smashbox gill]

We can’t carry both Pitt and TDK. We miss out on to much run. 2 weeks in a row under 10 possessions combined.

TDK gone past Pitt imo

 

[GoBlues!]

0.4 to 5.6, probably the worst second half we’ve played this year.

Not sure we had any winners in any position...

 

[Accidental genius]

we need a defender that can compete the stephenson types...plow has no chance. he was exposed big time.

 

[NumberEight]

Pathetic when it mattered. Just like the Hawks game.

A mentally weak side.

Well probably smash GWS next week seeing as the seasons over now.

 

[gab213]

It's pretty simple, we aren't good enough....yet. Disappointing, but a good reality check. The positive is that you can see the gains we have made and that there is improvement to come from a lot of our players.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Docherty should be stripped of the captaincy. That was a disgrace.

We're all pretty pissed off.

But the sooner Walsh is captain, the better. There's a guy who lives and breathes football and is a born leader.

Probably once he is 22-23.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Darcy Moore, along with his flankers Maynard and Crisp absolutely destroyed us in the 2nd half.

Credit where credit due.

Of course. They were getting first class delivery from our midfield.

 

[KohPhi]

We have a serious ‘above the shoulders’ issue. That is all I’m saying.

And a 'below the knees' problem. Our delivery into the F50 was pretty ordinary.

 

[viking12]

Abysmal performance in the 2nd half

Cripps winning MVP got to his head.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Three Words - GUTLESS, GUTLESS, GUTLESS.

Sorry Folks, Paddy Dow is not working out for us, time to trade him at the end of the year.

Marc Murphy thanks for your service, but you are cooked. Time to take a pension.

Time is up for Simmo too I reckon.

A season's worth of good work pissed away in one dire second half of football.

We are still miles off being a legit contender.

Pissed off.

 

[RAPPA]

That delivery inside 50 was horrendous. Midfield was non existent.

 

[90N90S]

Can't believe that leech is still running our midfield coaching, please piss of Barker.

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

Nothing burns my a## as much as losing to the filth but i at least expected a fight to the end at half time...
We obviously need more talent we have too many that go missing..

 

[Accidental genius]

yeap can not undertsand why we dropped cottrell

 

[jooce8891]

i just dont see anything at all with dow, all i hear is how good he is at stoppages and his burst through the middle, but all i saw today was zero effort and absolutely no pressure.

 

[reg_lower91]

Out coached. Again. Our gameplan works until the opposition coach figures it out. Then bye-bye.

Daicos. Thomas. Elliott. Quaynor. Didn’t see them coming, didn’t do a damn thing to stop them.

 

[Drexl 31]

Be nice if the day comes when I don't expect us to lose.

 

[KnightsBlue]

Darcy Moore, along with his flankers Maynard and Crisp absolutely destroyed us in the 2nd half.

Credit where credit due.

Its was like we were kicking it to moore all 2nd half.. even when we have two players free we split the middle and found moore again

 

[TheKing101]

Docherty gives them their first goal, Cripps misses late game goal again. Captains. I trust them to get back to their best but gee wiz.

Does any player on our list fumble as much as Docherty?

This is why I've liked Cottrell in the team. Would have covered space and provided aggression in the last.

I think your right

Playing blokes like setters or Murphy on a wing is waste of time

Newnes okay but isn’t a two way runner

I was wrong to want cottrell dropped

We had 8 days to rest up, that's plenty, they had 6. No excuses.

This isn't about the previous 7 days, it's about where players were at after some very taxing games, and how we'd been managing the squad.

Collingwood have been rotating due to a hectic schedule, and it's not all been roses for them, but they've still won 4 out of the last 5.

We pushed our 22 to the red line by how we chose to line-up and play the Gold Coast game, that we would have easily won with some fresh legs, and then we decided to handicap our midfield rotations by selecting Pittonet again.

It used to be Carlton arrogance, now I'm pretty sure that detachment from reality is better described as ignorance.
